Have you recognised your feet yet?

Thanks all! I'm rather pleased with myself... Very Happy

Not only do I have feet, but also hipbones! Took a good week and a half to get over the waddle though.

The baby isn't wearing pants either, much to the chagrin of everyone. They fall down and he looks like a hip hop star, or he puts both his legs into one leghole. One of his pajama bottoms has pockets. What the hell does an infant need pockets for? His car keys and credit cards?

Sigh... Haven't had any beer yet, since I've lost my taste for Efes. I've had a few glasses of red wine though, and they went down really nice...

So I guess this means you'll have to change both your avatar and your signature, seeing as you no longer waddle or miss beer. What direction do you plan to look towards for inspiration?

Yeah! I am so happy for you.

I seem to remember the name crisis you had a long time ago in regards to Turkish names, what did you finally decide on?

He's must be so cute!!! Congrats!!

Ender James. Turns out it was easier to name him after we saw him. Oh, and after we found out he was a boy...

Excellent new signature, very docile yet lactationally oriented. Good choice. The baby rocks, btw. You and hubby really procreated well.

awwww, he's lovely. He's already gut attitude stinking his fingers up at the camera.

Thanks again! Of course I have a sneaking suspicion he's totally superior to other babies...

I'm not sure, but I think my brother in law arranged his fingers like that when he took the picture. Either that, or Ender's just a natural rock star, which is just as likely. The other day he was flipping me the bird while he was eating, but I didn't mind...

I read the other day that a baby's wailing activates some weird primordinal instinct in us chicks. I had always wondered why l go nutty when l hear babies crying.

Don't let him make rotten decisions about his future at such a young age as "thrifty" did.
