For the Babies

Lacey and I were talking a few months ago, after we had found out that she was pregnant, and I admitted that I wasn't crazy about newborns. My reasons were that they are kind of boring, kind of funny looking, and they don't really do much. You can't really have fun with a newborn. You can't even make them smile.

I've changed my mind.

While some of that is still true, Ethan is just a lot more fun than I thought he would be. His skin is so unbelievably soft, you just have to feel it to believe it. When I was taking these pictures I couldn't help but lean in and kiss him on the belly. His perfect little skin smells so clean and feels impossibly soft. Sometimes I just have to smother him with kisses, and the funny thing is he doesn't appreciate the affection at all. If anything, he finds it mildly annoying. But I love that about him. He just has a few very simple needs, and beyond that, everything else is largely ignored.

Alright, sorry for getting mushy. I've really got to stop posting late at night...
