Little Personalities: Part I

David has some quirks and personality traits that we are getting to know about him. Right now he is the most verbal of the babies and LOVES to "talk" with anyone who will converse with him. He is a smiley baby who has big, innocent, blue eyes that could melt your heart.

Some days, David hates his bath. He will feel one toe go in to the water and starts to panic. As soon as his little bottom goes in, there can be a full fledged fit thrown. I've done baths where he looked strait into my eyes and screamed for the entire time. Other times, we can sooth him out of his rage. I have found lately that the song "Do, Re, Mi" from the Sound of Music is quite effective at distracting him from his troubles.

David hates to go to sleep. Just yesterday I was putting a tired little boy down for his nap. I had him swaddled and started rocking him and he has learned that signal... he starts fussing. Then he starts throwing his chunky-monkey weight around trying to escape. Next comes the screaming... seriously I heard a scream out of my sweet baby yesterday. And all of a sudden he will be out like a light. Just drops off to sleep when he gives in. It's amazing.

I don't want to just describe what David hates, so I must add that David loves to eat! We never have problems with him eating. The best part about feeding David is the burp. This boy can belch. He rattles the walls frequently. It is quite entertaining.

David has discovered the TV. I had it on today watching the History channel while feeding babies. Well, I noticed he was looking at it, so I laid him in the boppy pillow with his back to the TV. Well, the little stinker pushed himself up over the top so he could watch TV upside down! I got a picture.
