The Mallorys Online

We’ve now had a month with our wonderful son and we’re compiling some of our favorite things he does.  This isn’t in any particular order.

1. Sleep grins: These are the unintended smiles babies make when they’re first falling asleep.  We know every baby does this, but it’s such a sweet look at what his bright smile is going to look like.
2. Tight lips when he’s had enough to eat: I have a picture of this that I need to upload today.  Once Jacob has had enough to eat and you try to feed him more, he tightens his lips and makes a funny face.
3. “Uh-Huh”: This lasted about a week or two so he doesn’t do it anymore, but when he got upset he would start saying “uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.”
4. The Hasselhoff: We unbutton or unzip his shirt and open his chest up when he eats so he doesn’t soak his shirt.  This is known as the Hasselhoff.
5. Staring at our living room wall art: There is art above our sofa that Jacob will focus on if it’s in his line of sight regardless of the song and dance we perform in his face.
6. The Home Alone: When Jacob eats he puts his hands on his face like the famous McCauley Culkin scene from Home Alone when he puts the aftershave on his face.

I’m sure I forgot some and Jennifer will quickly remind me to add to the list.  I will try to get some photos to go along with the list.
