Baby discoveries are.... odd!

Most babies find their hands. It's one of the first fascinating things they find. Not our baby. Our baby found his sleeves! He has been looking at his sleeves since last night when I put him in this onesie. He is up on the changing table and watching his sleeves. What a nutty baby.

Given who his father is, I have to wonder if he is upset that I didn't iron his outfit for him first. ;-)

Hey, Marshall. Wanna hang out in my crib?

The boys had a nice afternoon together. Hanging out, sucking or licking on their hands (Marshall sucks, Joaquin licks), watching the mobile, shooting off some farts and then trading off who got to eat in the glider or get changed on the changing table.

Here are some photos from our Baby Get Together. Marshall is two weeks big and Joaquin is ten weeks enormous.

Marshall, how many photos do you think they are going to take?



Yeah. Let's put our hands in our mouths. Good idea!



I dare you to sneeze and fart at the same time.



I have a big head. I know!


How big is Marshall? SO BIG!



Look at that big boy.... And those eyes.

Be very still. There is a rattlesnake in my bed.

Hehehe.

Great Aunt Carol brought us a rattlesnake stuffed animal. It looks a little more like a python in the head. But it's very sweet and Joaquin already loves to follow it with his eyes. Here he is pretending he is NOT a rabbit at Grandma and Grandpa's house this afternoon.

I am not a rabbit. Please do not eat me!

I can pose with Mami....

On Monday we hung out with our friend Jen so we could catch up, play with the puppy Missy and Jen could take a few photos for a class project. Needless to say, Jen got the stinky side of the baby since we did a full diaper blow-out that required Joaquin to be bathed in her kitchen sink. I bet we don't get invited back until he is about 20. :-)

Here are a few of her photos. Aren't they cute!?

Mami and Babe...


Not sure who is weirder!


Photoshoots bore me.


Hmmmmmmmm.


Oh for Pete's Sake.


This is dull. I may just fall asleep.


Fine. I am asleep.



And he stayed this way for almost 3.5 hours, too! Jen is a miracle-worker with the napping! Thank you!

I am not a fruit!

It's about 5 degrees today. So what in the world are you supposed to do on days that are this freezing?!? Pretend like your baby is a fruit. Put him over the fruit bowl.

If you are the baby... you are SO bored of this game.

A Randomizer: In Photos.

Random photos I have taken and not posted. Let's call this the Photo Randomizer!

Joaquin has a friend and her name is Allie. She gave him a hug last Friday.


And then she smiled for us, too!


Someone is sleeping on Mami's side of the bed!


And someone is hogging the remote...


We call this the Monkey Branch. Joaquin is a Monkey on Papi's Branch. And he will suck and suck and suck on his knuckle in this position. He loves it!!


Monkey Branch on the Cat Post!

Lisa and David's Kiddo is here ...

So, yes. I am a week late posting about Joaquin's cousin's arrival. He was born last Saturday 8 weeks almost to the minute after Joaquin. Lisa and David have a big ol' baby boy on their hands. Like 9 lbs. 9 ozs. big. Ack!

Check out these snaps from his arrival last Saturday! Lisa looks incredible. She looks really YOUNG, too! Wow. Motherhood suits her already.






The Happy Family!
