Firsts

Huxley's had many firsts over the past couple of weeks:  first cold, first giggle, and first rattle shaking.  

He caught his first cold from momma.  I must have caught a bug while I was out running errands.  Of course, I proceeded to get everyone else sick, which was fun except that I got Huxley sick.  It really wasn't a bad cold.   He seemed to handle his cold better than Jason and I handled ours.  




Huxley got his first giggles on the changing table.  While I was changing his diaper, he got the hiccups.  I thought I would tickle the hiccups out of him.  It didn't work, but he thought it was funny.  

And his last first of late is shaking rattles.  I've been coaxing him to shake a rattle for a few weeks, and he's finally started to do it.  The first time he did, he smacked himself in the head and started to cry.  Buffy and Spike immediately rushed over to him to make sure he was okay.

Stretching the Vocal Cords

Huxley just realized he has a voice within that tiny little body.  He likes to just scream and scream and scream - happily though.  Even at three in the morning he likes to work out his vocal cords while I'm warming up his bottle.
