The little dood himself…

I had the privilege of hangin’ out with the lil’ tyke yesterday evening while his parents got settled back into the homestead…
This is what I have to report…
Miniature fingers and toes are amazing…
Miniature PEOPLE are amazing…at least until you hear the words TAR and CAULK used to describe his first poops…
He likes the boob…
He knows the meaning of the word PAMPERED…dare I say, spoiled?
He’s prone to flatulence…DO NOT let his diminutive stature fool you…he will kill you…
Also…don’t be sucked in by his cooing and overall cuteness…it’s all a big ploy to get what he wants…more boob.
He’s making up a language as he goes along…there is no rhyme or reason to it…
Oh, and speaking of language…I caught myself twice mouthing cuss words rather than saying them out loud… do some of us come with a built in anti-corruption devise? What’s THAT??I’m ALL ABOUT corrupting the minds of innocence!!
His favorite hobbies to date are:
*Sleeping-around…and with people he hardly knows at that…
*He likes to play “mummy” …(I haven’t quite figured out that whole thing yet…his mom says, “he’s more comfortable like that”…if you ask me, we may have a bondage issue on our hands)…
*And of course that whole flatulence thing…
Final assessment…
Pretty darn cute.
He must take after his “Fun Aunt Audrey”

He looks kinda mad, but I think I look a little like him every morning before the caffeine kicks in too.
