withdrawals...

For those of you suffering from Huckle withdrawal symptoms (that is his Nana & Auntie Melly). I have for you his latest mug shot.

The little hoodlum has been very cute lately.
He is such a chatterbox & always has a story to tell, especially during feeds.
We often have stare-offs too, where he stares at me until I smile & then he smiles back & laughs his head off. I try my hardest to keep a straight face while he's feeding, but I can't help smiling at him... he's just too cute.
His favourite sounds to make are mmmmbaaa, aaooooa & mmaaaaam. (Use your imagination here folks.)
He's worked out how to use his hands. Not only are they good for holding a favourite toy... they're also great for pulling mama's hair, ears, eyelids & nostrils. Also very good for shoving into the mouth, when going to sleep.
Every morning I prop him up on the pillows, while I get dressed. He sits there watching, smiling away. This is great, because it gets me out of my "I can't believe I am up this early, I'm not a morning person, the sun isn't even up yet, why can't I go back to sleep, aaaargh!" mood. (Did you get all that?).
This little man is the light of our lives. Everyday there is more love to give. Truly divine.
