giggle a jiggle

Alexi-bug (we seemed to have settled on calling him Alexi), he loves a little jiggle.

We are settling into a routine with Happy Baby. So, other than the multiple midnight "Wakies," things are going remarkably smoothly.

He has a bit of a cold, but he does not seem to mind. Snot streaming from the nose, soiling his jamies, he just giggles away. And he sure does love bath time.

The only time he cries is when he is hungry. He can recognize his bottle, then his cry intensifies. As if he is saying:

"Hey thats mine. I want it NOW!! HURRY-UP! Give it to me NOW. Get that in my belly, NOW!"

When the nipple hits his mouth, there is sudden silence. Interrupted only by rhythmic little sucking sounds. His face turns from tortured earnestness to a sleepy-eyed bliss as the bottle nears completion.

In the middle of the night I have caught an amazing phenomenon. If I catch the bottle to him before he has had a chance to fully wake. He will receive it with eyes closed. He then proceeds to consume the entire bottle, eyes wide shut. A burping on shoulder, still shut. Then back to bed, he never woke up.

What other little wonders await.
