Shepard's hands smell of graham crackers, whether he's eaten them or not. Now I smell graham crackers and think of him. He's literally sweet.
He likes to hum along and make sounds. He's definitely got the "bzzzzzzzzz" of the bee. This morning he was trying to match the tone of the coffee grinder. I made a chord with him by singing the third. It kind of made my day.
He really likes it when I do the frog's "ribbit" and do my froggie tongue. He tries to mimic me.
He can put more stinky poop in a diaper than I ever imagined. Contrary to what I thought before he came, it doesn't make me hurl. That would be not-so-sweet, but only ok.
He will kind of sit still for a book now. He really likes the books with the "peek-a-boo" windows to open.
He sleeps 11-12 hours a night without hardly making a peep. I think this is because he hardly stops moving all day long except for a shortish nap.
He already has a mischevious grin and sidelong glance. It already makes me nervous.
He is laughing at my best "Mama means it" strict-face. This makes me nervous too.
And did I mention his little deep-throated maniacal laugh? (you can hear that here) Sometimes he will use it in context of doing something slightly naughty. I am going to surely be a woman of prayer.
