Beard Boy

After several gala parties Saturday night, the Child is resting today. We went to a neighbor's house for a very nice Christmas party--Besnik sat front-facing in his baby sack for maximum face time with guests. Smiled the whole time, made a few new friends, and was generally very pleased with himself. Father found it strange to have everyone talking to his chest the whole time, though.

The Baby then went out to dinner with Mother and her work people--he had a good time there, too. The waiter was particularly taken with him.

So anyways, after the long party night, the Boy is relaxing--sitting and listening to the Giants game, practicing his talking, and doing some exploratory beard investigation. He is learning to make *very* loud sounds, which may or may not be a good thing, depending on what you are looking for in a baby.

This picture here is a closeup of afternoon's beard investigation--unfortunately the camera can't capture the malicious glint in the child's eyes. The pulls are very painful.
