Well, Mr. Babykins has succeeded in becoming the apple of our eye. It is rare to have a day go by that Chris doesn't say, "He's just so adorable!" Of course Mommy says that 50 times per day, but that's normal for a mommy.

He has gained 4 pounds, 4 ounces since he was born, and grown 2 1/2 inches longer. I feel sure that any day now a laugh will escape. Fortunately, the little Babykins is putting up with all of Mommy's efforts to get that laugh to slip out. He is full of the grins, especially when he wakes Mommy up nice and early every morning. He seems to be quite surprised that the mobile is still hanging there each morning. As the room gets light enough to make out its shape, the joy in seeing his favorite toy seems to warrant quite a celebration of squealing and kicking in the cradle.

He grabbed a toy for the first time today.

Chris trying to imitate Daniel...

...and being a little too successful. :-)

Whew! Back to normal!

...little eyelashes

I'm glad I'm not the bug he's ready to pounce on!

Sweet little Danny boy
