baby laughs
I am so, so glad that we can get Julius to baby laugh on demand now. Usually a little face-to-armpit action (my mouth, his armpit) is enough to get him going. Where Sylvia has a kind of maniacal cackle, Julius has a more gurgly, bubbling-over laugh. I suppose it goes with his general air of contentment. What a "good baby"!

hungry man xxl
i haven't met every baby but i can say with a great deal of certainty that julius is the hungriest baby ever!
i'm also fairly positive that he weighs about 20lbs.

the happiest baby on the block
it takes a lot to get julius really worked up. even when he's hungry he can still crack a smile or offer a 'coo.' he sleeps through the night so by popular standards he's a "good" baby.
i'm of the opinion that all babies are good and i also believe that all babies are different, unique. what works for one might not work for the other.
having said that, i have to confess that julius is vastly different then any other baby i've had(i.e. his big sister.) he is just so easy going and, well, happy! that's not to say that sylvia was unhappy but she was and is a very serious character.
i'm having a good time exploring their differences and of course their similarities. he's growing so very fast! like alan mentioned, he's not only becoming more and more aware of his surroundings but he's also learning his role in the world. it's amazing to watch him grab ahold of something and realize that he can hold it and then watch as his eyes light up when he finds that he can move it, too.
his current favorite objects include:
-daddy's face
-sister's hair
-mommy's hair
-glasses
-ribbon

alien
Julius is like a little alien now! When I hold him in front of my face, his eyes get huge, he starts drooling uncontrollably, and making these strange groaning/squealing noises. "Ooooo-AAWEE!" Best of all, he rubs his hands all over my face like he's never seen a face before, and wants to find out how it feels and what it's made of. It's very sweet, and he is indeed very "talky" and "droolsy," as Sylvia says!
