Best Friends

I'm convinced that Baby Man is obsessed with his daddy. He lights up every time daddy comes home and if I don't hand him over, the tiny goober will just sit there staring at him from my arms with this foolish grin on his face for like an hour. Once Ryan is actually holding him, he'll get super excited because he knows it's play time...then inevitably within 15 minutes or so, he'll completely fall apart. It's hard to say why. Baby Man's just very passionate, as you can see here:


I like to think that he spends all day thinking about how great it's gonna be when he hangs out with daddy, they'll get to do awesome manly stuff like wrestling and playing football, then a few minutes into hanging out, he realizes that he can't muster up the coordination to do more than haphazardly smack dad in the face or maybe head butt him if he's lucky. And it just breaks his heart. One day, baby man, one day...




Here he is learning how to look cool in front of the camera. He's still a little unsure of his skills and keeps looking at daddy for tips.

And here Ryan's teaching him how to swing. As you can see, he's got a ways to go.

Even My Baby Thinks I'm Foolish...

The little Punk'n Head is 3 months old today! Not that this post has anything to do with that...other people are always doing logical things with their posts like mentioning milestones and age so I figure I should throw something like that in whenever it occurs to me...anyways, on to more pertinent things like his comical facial expressions:



Often times I find myself doing very embarrassing things for the sake of making Baby Man smile. Sometimes it works and sometimes...well, I get that face up there. Which only serves to make me act even more foolish because I think that face is hilarious. So I've got this feeling that it's gonna be very easy to embarrass this little cudger around his friends in the future. *sigh* It'll be some glorious times, I'm sure.

He's a huge fan of sucking people's fingers and from day one has preferred it to everything, including the boob. Sometimes he'll be casual about munching on the finger, like here:




Other times he gets dead serious and you can see the threat written all over his face if you ever dare try and take his finger away...what he's actually threatening to do, I'm not quite sure.


For some reason, this picture reminded me of a super villain so I just couldn't resist doing this. I kinda hesitated about posting it though. Like perhaps it's going too far?



This last picture really doesn't have much to do with anything. He just gets this really intense stare sometimes that I think looks ridiculous. Especially because he's always a little cross-eyed when he does it.

A Moment in the Life of Baby Man Pt 2: Furious Young Master

Here's a series of pictures I took of the fuzzy lil wumpus over the course of about 30 seconds while he was talking to his daddy. He's the first person I've met who can feel totally elated and devastated in the same second. It's amazing.
