Personhood

The baby has graduated from fourth trimester fetus to real live human being status and can now do all sorts of exciting tricks like putting toys in his mouth and rolling over. Now that he's all grown up, he has also put himself on a new schedule, which goes as follows:

1. Gulp milk like it's the last drink on earth
2. Linger at the breast until I can't stand it anymore
3. Scream about the injustice of it all
   
4. Chatter nonstop about his interests for an hour and a half
5. Make another pass at the breast
6. Fall asleep whining about how I'm always withholding when he needs it most
   

Now that I think about it, this reminds me of a lot of dates I went on in my twenties. The baby, however, is irresistibly cute and only requires raspberries or the occasional chicken dance in response to his nonstop babbling.

Given our daughter's personality, I have no business being surprised that our son is intense, never stops talking, and demands constant attention. I just didn't think it would start this young. Like his sister, he's just lucky he's so darn charming.
