Wendy’s First Photos

Early on Sunday the 29th, my partner, Wendy, came to visit and meet Atticus before she had to teach a class. She took all of the photos in this post; she is such an amazing photographer!
In the hospital, the quiet hospital, the Atticus sleeps this morning…
ROAR!
Atticus pretends to be the MGM lion
My son is totally cute but he makes some god awful expressions! In this shot, I think he kinda looks like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle…
Baby Mutant Ninja Turtle
Seriously! What’s wrong with his big toe?! (It has shrunken down to a reasonable size in the last several months)
Atticus has long monkey toes just like Christine’s!
In the weeks and months after we brought Atticus home, he would stretch in a position similar to this (usually just after nursing or waking up) and we took to calling it “drunk turtle.” I don’t recall the origins of the term, but it seemed to fit nicely.
A child born to talk on the phone…
Not a happy camper

 

He was so very tiny!

Or is she? Dum dum DUUUUUM!!

 

I know Christine is gazing down, lovingly at Atticus but I can't help imagining her saying "Stop crying or I will squish you!"
