Baby’s butt?  Really?  I don’t know who coined that phrase, but i don’t think they changed many diapers.  Guess where babies get diaper rash?  Rash isn’t soft.  Guess where baby waste goes?  The diaper doesn’t absorb it all.
Add to this mix elastic band impressions, chubby folds of skin that are hard to clean, and not getting a lot of air…  Soft isn’t the first word i would use.

But there are many parts of a baby that are indeed soft.  I’m particular to Micah’s calves myself.   Maybe the bit of belly off to the side, beneath the ribs where love-handles may one day form.

I guess “Soft as a babies lower leg” just doesn’t have the same ring (and daring-do?) to it.  So don’t be surprised if something described by this inacurism actually turns out to be… sticky?

Happy Easter, everyone! Micah turned 2 months old on Easter Sunday. We had a great time celebrating (both events) with Sarah’s family in Gig Harbor. I think we have actually spent some time there every weekend for the last 6 weeks. Micah loves getting to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa Riggio.

In these 2 month, Micah has already been changing so much. He can hold his head up now, and is just starting to interact with toys and inanimate objects around him. And he keeps growing — longer, fatter, smarter!

I heard it said that “The days and nights may drag, but the weeks will fly by.” Sarah and i have found this to be very true. We are experiencing entirely new types of time distortions.

So, on to the photos! It has been an exciting time for Micah. He got to spend time with some East Coast grandparents when my dad and his wife came out to visit. It was wonderful to see them, and to get to introduce them to our little guy. Micah’s middle name is Glock, my father’s family name.

On a recent weekend in Gig Harbor, Grandma Riggio got to help give Micah a bath in the sink. Parts of it he loved, parts he wasn’t so sure about, and some parts he surely disliked. His facial expressions make it all so clear!
