The Contingency Plan

At three months old Hugo's starting to express his likes and dislikes a little more now:

• He loves it when Mum and Dad sing to him, but is a little wary when they do so together;
• He adores the feeling of water on his skin, but will certainly start singing (ie. screaming) in the shower if you take him away from it!
• Meals are always good no matter what the time, even when he's sleeping;
• Lying down is for babies so he'll cry like one unless you sit him up;
• Car rides are fun, but traffic lights are not (yes, he's learning fast); and
• Sucking on his pacifier is great, but trying to suck on his whole hand is better (the best when he actually misses his mouth and then tries to find it).

As you can see, we're having so much fun with Hugo. My favourite moments are when he wakes and instantly smiles when he sees me, smelling his breath and the folds of his skin and feeling like we communicate during our baby talk conversations (yes, they're very important).

This parenting stuff rocks.

songs like those always kept me together

very true. i try to have a sense of humour about these things. mainly so i don't go mad.
