1. He’s really a vampire. He hates direct sunlight. He flinches and whines and turns his head away when we go out during the day. And he’s pale as all get out! My neighbor even refers to him as “ghosty boy”. He also grabs onto our faces and starts gnawing on our necks (and chins and cheeks and fingers and I guess pretty much anything he can get a hold of- I am pretty sure he is just in the beginning stages of teething; however, I wouldn’t be surprised if when he starts cutting teeth that his canines are a little sharper and longer than the norm.)
2. He is ticklish along his rib cage just under his armpits.
3. Tyson’s elephant noise makes him cry every time.
4. And aside from being a vampire, our son is also part velociraptor. He squawks and squeals just like that dinosaur on Jurassic Park. He found his voice pretty early and he uses it! It’s so much fun even though I hardly ever get to sit through a church lesson because he is so loud.
5. He is a ham. He loves attention!
6. And he’s quite the ladies’ man. Here is his flawless flirting strategy: He stares and smiles until he catches their attention, then he gets embarrassed and buries his face into me and then looks back and smiles and giggles and jabbers until they practically swoon over him… he has women eating out of the palm of his hand. He already has a harem consisting of all my nursing school girls. Young or old, he has girlfriends galore! (and I’ll let you guess which parent he is already taking after)
7. He likes to grab his toes and then catapult his legs down in the bath water to get me soaking wet!
8. Most of his weight is in his legs. And he has a cottage cheesy bum!
10. He has many different laughs. He has a courtesy laugh- a short little grunt of a laugh when I guess we are really not very funny. He has a little chuckle that I catch him doing at really random times (ex. me trying to fix my bad hair day was apparently very funny to him!) And my favorite is his real belly laugh when we bounce him on the bed or tickle him. He gets slap happy just laughs and laughs until he spits up.
