i am hiawatha

so here's the sad truth - i'm obsessed with my kid. but it turns out that's not really very sad at all...

because so are you.

arthur will be the death of me.

he's 8 weeks old! he'll be 2 months on the 6th. time goes by so fast.

it breaks my heart that none of you get to hold him and love him while he's so sweet and little.

it is honestly one of my very favorite things to do.

there was a while where i thought i was crazy for having a kid so young, but now i am so glad i did.

If chubbs was gone all day and i didn't have arthur, i would probably be in a crazy depression or something. he is the best baby in the world, and i mean it when i say it. he still doesn't cry.

everyone kind of makes fun of him because he doesn't.

last night, arthur was breathing heavily while he was sleeping, so silas told him to please be quiet because we were trying to talk. silly.

i think (well, i guess i know) that he is growing like crazy because he slept almost all day yesterday. and then (shows how dumb i am) i was worried he wouldn't sleep at night. only to find out that he was only going to wake up twice to eat. what a champ. i love him so much.

he's kind of a weirdo. he has started to stick his tongue out all the time. when he smiles, and when he breathes and pretty much all the time. whatever that means. he looks like a lizard.

and he's finally starting to make sounds! little cooing sounds....

he talks to me because he likes me. that's what.

so, i don't know if everyone knows this, or maybe it's just some sick form of child abuse, but.... a drop of lemon juice cures hiccoughs for babies. true. i've done it lots of times....

well!.....

he gets the hiccoughs a lot! and his face is so cute when he's trying to swallow it!

sue me. you'd do it too.

i don't do it for pleasure.... but i don't hate it either.

so, i know these pictures are all so similar, but there's only so much i can do when he can't crawl or walk or anything. i don't know if you guys are sick of them, but i'm not... so i keep taking them.....

just appreciate the kid for who he is. cute. inside and out.

and perfect.

i don't know how i got so stinking lucky.....

p.s. i miss all of you. never move to texas.
