Dear Alastair, you are quite the character!

Baby, you are such a sight to behold! You're 8 weeks today and I'm still amazed that we made you. Everyone who has seen your pictures say you're a mixture of your dad and I. A perfect mixture if I do say so :)

You're at a point in your learning where you like to mimic our facial expressions. Your dad wants you to say "dada" first, so he repeatedly says dada to you for as long as he can, before I tell him to stop being annoying. Secretly, I do the same thing to you when he's not home because I want you to say mama first!

Other than that, you and I spend time staring into each other's eyes a lot. I like to sing to you, and you like to try and mouth what I'm saying back. You love to coo when you're happy, and grunt a growl when you're angry.

Without any words, I know exactly what you're saying. I probably always will...

Here's some pictures of you this week:
One is of you sleeping with your arms in the air. Two pictures are of you enjoying your dancing bears (mobiles). You always crack up when I put them on. It's really cute! The other one is with you all bundled up because your Welo decided to clean the house with harsh smelly chemicals and I told him to air out the house. The last one is if you smiling with your eyes. You're so good at that! You totally get that from your Papi.
