Crazy happy laughing baby and parents


Marius is getting a lot more fun to play with. Our new game is to play with him when he's standing in his crib. He loves watching us bop up and down like lunatics! And we love making him squeal with glee. Here are some videos of the craziness if you care to watch us making fools out of ourselves.

We're getting ready for Christmas a little late. We bought a little Christmas bush today. Perhaps one day we'll have a bit of garden to plant it in, but it'll fit nicely in a pot for quite a while yet. We're picking up a duck at our butcher tomorrow morning, and then we'll bake a Christmas brandy cake, roast the duck along with potatoes and some asparagus. It should be a yummy meal with lots of leftovers! That's the best. Although I am super jealous of Paula who is making tamales by hand - masa and all - this year! Oh man.... Perhaps next year I'll be that adventurous if I can get some hojas mailed to me and can find a few helpers.

I've never seen a baby having such fun playing in his crib! I don't know which will give out on you first; the baby's bed or the mattress! Oh, what the hay, you can always get another, right? Baby was cute as pie in his sleeper, too. I enjoyed the video. Thanks for the laugh and Merry Christmas!

He`s really getting more expressive, more responsive and more fun to interact with. And Marius seems to enjoy playing with him... it´s really great to see. Merry Christmas, guys!

Claire and I think you are crazy. No wonder the guy won't go to sleep without nursing. DUH!
