Six@Six

Six Months... marked by 6 Things I don't want to forget:

1. I recently was re-reading my birth story, and all of a sudden remembered that while in the hospital for those blurry three nights that bled into each other, just strips of sun and then night time, and sun and nighttime - there was a show on fx every night around 11pm, 2-3 episodes in a row, that I would watch.  I would doze for just a few minutes at a time all night, with an itty-bitty-baby dozing on my chest, and I would open my eyes to catch Kevin Bacon and Diane Kreuger (I think that's who it was...) solving murders and mysteries... I can't remember the TV show's name...

2. For his first few months, when Ben ate his bottle, he self-soothed while sipping - his little hand would rub his head, just above his ear, in a back and forth motion - back to front, front to back, his little fingers and his blond baby-fuzz-hair.. He only occasionally does it not when he's really tired and having a bottle...

3. When my mom went home after her two-week housekeeper stint when Ben was born, I dropped her off at Newark Airport, walked back to the car, sat in the passenger side and nursed Ben in the short-term lot, wondering if anyone would dare approach me, or stare...

4. Ben can spot his bottle from a mile away.  There is no preparing it on the DL.  Once he sees it, it's target-lock and he will flip upside down to keep it in his sights!

5. The dogs fascinate Ben.  He loves to watch them playfight and giggles when either E or I yell at/or scold them...

6. He is a yogi-in-training! He loves to grab his feet during his diaper changes.  It makes it verrrry hard to get his diaper off, and when we jokingly express frustration, he laughs at us...
There's a reason they call /\ this /\ Happy Baby Pose!

  2. He's so cute! I love that fuzzy head. (Is it weird that I want to rub my cheek on it?)

    2. It looks like it. G.T. has long hair (his hair never fell out and it grows crazy fast like mine), so when I rub my cheek on his, all I get is static. ;)
