Little old person


We received quite a few comments that our baby looks like a little person - very mature looking for his age. I guess we agree and if you get to know him, he does things you would not fathom for a 2-month old. One time we were talking to each other and joking in a loud voice and Orion just started babbling and he got louder and louder as our voices grew. He just wanted to be heard and wanted to participate in the conversation too. Another time it must have been too loud for him to sleep because he woke up just to scold us and went right back to sleep after the scolding. He is just so alert and aware of his surroundings.
For the first time, we took him to Balboa Park and he loved the stimulation. Speaking of Balboa Park, Body Worlds is coming to San Diego (Balboa Park) in March. Anyhow, it was wonderful to see Balboa Park through his eyes and it made the park more exciting and new for us too.

Now that Amy has returned to work, grandma has been watching Orion and she says so far he's been very well behaved. It's been hard for Amy to be at work all day and away from the baby since she was so used to staying home with him these past 3 months. We both take videos of him and watch them at work when we miss him, but nothing beats the real thing of holding the little bundle in your arms and being able to kiss his chubby cheeks. Each day is so precious and full of new discoveries with him.
