I told you they were cute
May 28, 2008 on 3:10 pm | In family | 2 CommentsI was able to make a quick trip last weekend to see my sister and the babies. It’s amazing how much they change in such a short amount of time. You can already tell how their little personalities are developing.
Here’s Dawson, very much concerned about the world. We lovingly refer to him as the squeaky wheel, because he indeed knows how to get the grease, or more practically, milk. He lets the whole house (and neighborhood) know when he is hungry, needs his diaper changed, or just plain isn’t pleased with this whole “life” thing. But he makes up for it in the brief moments that he’s not crying so hard that he’s snorting.
And here’s Rylan, who is much more content to observe the world, coo, and sleep. Oh, but she really hates her tummy medicine.
Her eyes already seem to be turning brown. Both my sister and brother-in-law have brown eyes, so I expect she’ll have an almond-tinted eye color. Notice how her hand is balled into a fist? For some reason, she likes to extend her right arm out with her fist in the air, which we jokingly refer to as her declaration of “baby power.” So during my visit I was sitting in the recliner holding Dawson when my sister laid Rylan on the couch and walked away to get something. Over the arm of the couch, all I could see from my vantage point was a tiny fist in the air. Baby power, indeed, little Rylan.
Oh, and they both like to sleep with their arms over their heads.
