Oh! Hello there!

Wanna see my new best trick? You do? Great!


No. It isn't this one. This is where I scrunch up my shoulders when Mommy puts a spoonful of sweet potatoes near my face. See, I did it one time and Mommy laughed so hard, that I feel it necessary to repeat this action EVERY SINGLE TIME she gets near me with a spoon. I'm a third child - I have my work cut out for me, okay? Mommy doesn't laugh as much any more, though. In fact, she remains stoic now, and has become somewhat forceful with the spoon in trying to pry apart my ninja jaws of steel.



Oh, I'm sorry. Did you think I was exaggerating? I do it EVERY TIME I EAT.



Oh, this is a good one, but not my best trick either. This is where I stick a carrot/pretzel/similarly shaped food object in my mouth and hold it there with my teeth until my big sister explodes with laughter. It is a good one, but not my best.


Here is where I pretend to smoke! (Mommy says, "What the ...????!!! Put that pretzel down right this minute mister!!!")

Ahhh. Yes. Here it is.


The one where I stay in my crib from 7:00 to 5:30. Mommy loves this one (even though she kind of misses the late night nose nuzzle into my sweet chubby neck rolls). I'm still working out the details, but Mommy says she is so proud of me, thanks for the restoration of her sanity, and can we make it til 7:00?



I told her not to push her luck.

I love those tricks. How long did it take?

Don't you feel better already?

Congratulations! Finally I will not call you in the morning and find you babbling incoherent nonsense! Woohoo!

It appears, however, that he had now decided on the new annoying problem of "FrankeNATEstein" while eating....

Hi! You look familiar to me but now I don't know if I've ever met you. Your family is cute and I LOVE this commentary on baby eating. Those third kids are stinkers, huh? Mine is a nut.

One of the greatest parts of babyhood is when they start sleeping through the night.
