By three, it should be pasee. Not only do I not know how to spell "pass-ay", but it isn't anyway. I just spent the last 2 hours laughing at Number 3's brilliant impersonation of a bobble head, wondering what he kept staring at right next to me for 15 minutes, and sighing at his sweet baby sleep.
I am not alone. My whole family is in love. "Say ARR, say ARR!" My daughter loves to lean over in his face and try to get him to talk. Last week, as a 7 week old, he said "aarrr" when hungry 3 times. My daughter happened to hear him after the first, and she believes his next two "aarrs" were actually in response to her prompting. So now, along with her incessant need to touch his head every chance she can (mostly I think because it drives me nuts), she also constantly practices saying arrr with him. My son (who can hold still for at least 2 minutes), loves feeding him a bottle and will lay down next to his little brother and encourage and talk to him whenever there is tummy time. As a bonus, this baby is quiet, he even cries quietly! That alone makes him extra special in this house.
Absolutely sappy, true. But I just cannot get over the fact that even though I've done this before, it is still so wonderful and new because it is all new to him!

ahh, i think part of the magic of a new baby is because everything is new for them they are new to you again too. it does my heart good to know you are loving these moments. they are so fleeting.
Very sweet. Thank you for sharing a bit of your "Mama-Joy"
Love this new picture of Stephen--he is growing up too fast! And I'm stealing the cute footies shot idea.
