We met with a prospective birth photography client today, so I was trying to be a bit dressier than usual.
He's pursing his lips, as in the top photo, a lot lately. I'm unsure if he's chewing on his lip as a teething soother, or what. He still has no sign of teeth, despite the fact that lots of friends with babies one and two months younger than him have two or more teeth already. I'm going to just be grateful, since it makes life easier on a nursing momma!
Also, when my hair gets to this length, I'm usually annoyed with it and dying to chip it off. It's soo long! But when I see it in photos, this length looks nice on me. It's just harder to style or something, and it starts getting onto my neck and stuck under collars. I much prefer having it off my neck completely. Since it grows about an inch a month, this is challenging to maintain. I get my hair cut every two to three months, so it's generally pretty short after a trim, and thus feels very long three inches / months later.
I'm sure I'll trim it between now and Christmas, to make sure it's tidy for all the holiday photo taking.
Around here, Jax has started to enjoy the hide and seek / peek a boo / I'm gonna get you game. He and Benjamin crawl around in the living room for ten or fifteen minutes each day, and all I can hear from the other room is peals and peals of laughter. It's the most delightful sound I can imagine hearing while I cook dinner, or clean dishes, or finish up a task on my computer.
I knew when I married him that he loved kids, and he has proved me right. In fact, he has far exceeded my expectations. There's no begging and pleading from the momma for the papa to step up to bat. He just shows up from work, and absolutely delights in entertaining, tickling, chasing, playing with our son. I'm so blessed.
