Just before Christmas Benjamin discovered his fingers in a big way. Now we can hear him on the baby monitor just sucking away at his hand. Or he'll grab one hand with the other and shove it in his mouth. Sometimes he'll just hold his hand out in front of his face, rotating it slowly, and staring at it intently. And he even grabs one hand with the other and tries to pull the grabbed hand away. Too bad he has such a strong grip so the "captured" hand can't get away.
These next couple aren't terribly recent (both from Benji's first month), but they matched the theme too well to pass up. I especially love how he managed to get his fingers out of his swaddle in order to suck on them.
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
