More Baby Stuff

Things I love about my newborn:
  • Yawns that involve his whole face
  • He almost seems to move in slow motion with a quick jerk thrown in for good measure
  • The way his toes curl around my thumb when I touch the bottom of his feet
  • Snorts and squeaks and sniffles
  • The way he startles himself with his flailing arms
  • Sock lint in between his toes
  • The crook my my neck fits the back of his little head like a puzzle
  • Beady little eyes and suspicious scowls
  • Soft sweet breath on my cheek

What is with the toe fuzz? My baby daughter has it too. She hates when I pick it, but I love messing with her teeny toes and fat little feet. Congrats, btw :)

Love the lint. You nailed so many of the indescribable joys.

Why is the sock lint always blue? No matter what color the socks are, there's blue between the toes.
