These days, C. and I have started to notice some new developments in baby T. Whereas before, he was never able to hold a stare. These days, his favorite thing to do when drinking milk or playing is to stare intently at you. It's adorable. His brown bear eyes open up and he gazes at you as though you are the only person in the world that matters (and that's probably true since you are the one feeding him the milk).
He's also become a pro at flipping his head back and forth and does so a number of times during his naps. Just when you think you've laid him down facing one side, a few minutes later (and as though he doesn't want to be told on what side to rest on), he flips. And then he flips again. And again. He's also up and alert more frequently which means that mommy spends quite a bit of time playing with T. Playtime entails mommy putting him on his tummy until he cries and then putting him on his back so he can stare at the little items that dangle from his playmat. Playtime also entails mommy forcing T. to wear different funky clothes and make different poses so she can take cute pics of him (poor soul. you can blame it on the blog). And just in case you're thinking, gee, why is playtime only physical, mommy does try to read to baby T. We have one book given to us by Auntie E. (Goodnight Moon) which we've read over and over again (Shame on mommy -- she's been meaning to buy more books for T. but has not gotten around to it). A few more times and I could probably recite the book by heart.
Also, with playtime becoming a daily routine, I've come to realize that it is critical that I make sure he's up more during the day. Otherwise, when night falls, sleep for baby T. falls to the wayside and yours truly pays the price (it happened a few days ago and it wasn't fun).
Enjoy the photos!

I love your blog! It reminds me of when I blogged about every detail of Kayla's life on Xanga (now, I'm cutting back). So many outfits and so many photos! It was insane! Every time I read your blog about Tristin, my baby fever comes back!
Let me know if you want to borrow some books for Tristin. I have tons from my teaching days. I can drop them off for you one day. One of my favorites is I Kissed the Baby which I got from the hospital. Kayla has moved on since. I'm sure Tristin will like it too.
Kayla loves to read and I think it's because I read to her so much before. Now, I can't get her to stop reading...or asking me to read to her! She has so many of the pictures memorized.
