So Sneaky!

Thanks for that heads up on that.

Improving on an insta-classic:

He smiles more, follows you with his eyes more, yells until you come into his line of vision more, weighs more, and implodes my heart with his cuteness. (more). He’s still supremely bothered by the sound of velcro coming apart, but other than that, he’s taken to living like a duck to water.

How bizarre is the word ‘Dwarf’?

Julian was sleeping until he heard the shutter on my camera.

Well, like I said before, everything Julian does, I’m doing. So for now I’m going to keep stuff about him on here. I’m a lightweight; I can’t handle maintaining two blogs at once. Once I get security upped I’ll probably move the baby stuff back over to the other blog though, so keep a handle on the log-in junk if you care to. I was just having a mental block about chronicling the same events on two blogs.

Julian is awesome.

Andy got him smiling when he was about three weeks old. I couldn’t coax more than a solemn stare out of him until about four weeks and the first time he smiled at me I about exploded. This photo is of one of his first smiles not inspired by milk or a successful nappy-fill.

I need a tissue.

I’m going to hug him so hard he’s going to hate me.

Julian is chubby, but that’s good, because everyone loves a chubby baby.

He has these furry pants with feeties that pull up over his bellybutton and make him look like he wouldn’t be out of place in a rest home, toting a walking-stick, nagging at the matron for more pudding. You may or may not find that adorable, depending on how you feel about geriatrics. It’s weird that humans start and end their lives with diapers. Probably the most profound thought I’ve had in the last week.

Sometimes when Julian’s waving his arms around, he either looks like he’s involved in an imaginary freestyle-rap competition, or busy conducting an inaudible orchestra. Then sometimes I wrap him up in this blanket and he looks like Lucifer the cat from Cinderella when he gets stuck in the sleeve of a nightgown.
