15 seconds: Staring contest

I am amazed at how enthralled I can be for a period of 20 minutes when all I'm doing is sitting and staring into the completely guileless eyes of my newborn infant.

He eventually closed his eyes in disdain when it became apparent that I was going to do nothing more exciting that stare right back and coo at him.

My favourite part is when he blinks.  Melts me.  He won this round.

Tav REALLY looks like you, Simon. Handsome little devil!

Just remember, he probably gets more out of those sessions than you do, despite having to stare at your ruffian mug the whole time.

I am reduced to mush.

Oh my goodness, the baby yawn! Sends oxytocin spurting from the brain and around the body. My entire body is weeping and begging for another child RIGHT THIS SECOND.

And my brain is screaming, "Shut up you! Don't you think 4 small boys in this house is enough? Do you really want a 5th? Thank god I convinced the doctor to do the tubal ligation. If I hadn't you'd have her convinced to try AGAIN!"

There's gonna be a battle, and it ain't gonna be pretty...

He's absolutely beautiful. I already want another one, and these pictures are not helping much...now, if I could only find Ian work here in Canada, we could get started on things....
