These were taken on Father’s Day 6/15/08. What a Father’s Day Gift! They say that babies can’t smile on purpose at this young age, but instead are just figuring out how to use their facial muscles along with the rest. While that may be so, it makes you wonder when he puts on a serene, beaming smile just after being told how adorable he is and kissed on his beautiful cheeks. If the doctors are wrong (don’t tell anyone I even brought up that possibility) just on the off-chance that they change their minds a few years from now, it might be said that he smiled for the first time on Father’s Day.
These pictures were taken on Tuesday 6/17/08. He’s such an adorable little character. He really likes cuddling with his mother after eating. It’s so cute when he’s done. He lets go, pulls himself away, presses his lips together so there’s no mistake that he’s done, then lays his head on her chest and is fast asleep within minutes.
And finally these pictures were taken this morning 6/18/08, while he was still asleep. Last night, he would wake up whenever we tried putting him in the bassinet, so we just laid him between us in bed and both snuggled him. Except for waking a few times for quick feedings, he slept through the night!
We’ll post some more videos soon.
