I gave him a blackberry and this is what happened.
I think my mom and I about died laughing. Baby's first facial hair. If I would have had a pirate hat and an eye patch, I would have put it on him.
I also love that you can clearly see his brown eyes reflected in the kitchen window light.
I decided he can stop growing up now. I love my baby. My mom says this is why people have more babies.
We lowered his crib mattress because he can pull up to his knees now and cry, his little sad face peering through the white bars full of puffy eyes and red cheeks and tears. I never leave him there for long, but in the two minutes it takes to get to his room when he wakes up, he can certainly put up a fuss. He knees there, gripping the bars, looking at the door, waiting for his savior to emerge and rescue him.
I didn't know it was possible to love a little being so much.
And if you needed ideas for non-toxic face paint for babies or children for Halloween, I have located your solution.
