In the past month, Bean has discovered his hands. Judging by the way he's typically holding them, I'm thinking about setting him up with golf clubs. His interlocking golf grip is great. And after all, if Tiger can get such an early start, why not Bean? I mean, parents whore out their kids all over the place, and it's about time Bean starts contributing to this household's bottom line.
(Kidding - sheesh.)
Since the last recap, Bean has taken even greater delight in the world around him. He's so inquisitive that he's rubbed the back of his head bald from turning to look at things. Not that he had much hair to begin with, but now there's even less. To make up for that, his eyelashes have really grown. It's like the baby equivalent of balding men growing ponytails. ("If I can't grow it on top, then I'll just grow it long. No one will notice the shine on top!")
In other exciting news, his eating schedule is starting to stretch. Night feedings were every 2 hours and sometimes less. Last night he went 4.5 hours before his first feeding and then 3+ hours before his next. Pretty soon, we'll all get a complete night's sleep and I won't know what to do with myself. I figure this luxury will happen right around the time that I have to return to my regular work schedule and have to be in the office at a certain time. It'll happen this way because nature is evil. And God hates me.
Anyway, tomorrow is Bean's first Christmas and we're all very excited. We have family in town from now until the end of the year, so posting will be (even more) light. To make up for it, I'll leave you with a photo of our semi-smiling cutie:
Happy holidaze and a safe, happy new year to all. See you in 2009.
