Getting to Know Christian

Christian is already going to be 6 weeks today! Time flies. We've learned a lot about each other over the last 6 weeks. He are ten things we know about Christian.

1. We've discovered that patience isn't one of Christian's greatest virtues. When he's hungry, he lets the world know, and he will not stop till he gets fed.

2. Our most important lesson so far, if nothing else works, turn on the vacuum cleaner! It will instantly quiet him and put him to sleep.

3. If you saw the video, he's learned to smile over the last 6 weeks. Just now, he was sitting by himself in his swing, and woke up. When I came over to him and talked to him, he gave me a big smile. He was happy to see me!!

4. We've also seen traces of laughter. Twice, while he's sleeping, I've noticed him let out a little giggle. What he's dreaming about we will never know.

5. He can makes "ewwww" and "awwww" noises and big tired sighs when he yawns.

6. Christian does not like waking up in strange places, which makes getting out with him a little difficult. If he goes to sleep in the car in his car seat but wakes up, say, eating breakfast in a bakery with his parents (this happened yesterday morning) he will scream bloody murder and take quite a while to be soothed back to sleep. The same thing happened when he woke up during worship at church. Here he is asleep, but it didn't last long.


7. Apparently, the pouty face comes innately in babies. Here's Christian's best:


8. Christian takes a bottle like a champ. He might have missed mommy a little, but he definitely likes daddy a lot more now.


9. Javier and I both like being outside. We go hiking and try to go camping alot. Luckily, Christian is also a fan of the outdoors. He's usually much happier when he's outside.

10. And last but not least, Christian really enjoys bathtime. He just sits in the tub real relaxed and kicks his legs around. He isn't quite laughing and playing, but it's fun to give him a bath. We won't embarrass him too bad with the naked picture, but here he is after.
