Everyone tells us to enjoy these days with Romi...that they fly by, they won't last, we won't even remember them. It's simply unbelievable to me that I won't recall every last bit of every wonderful (and not so wonderful) Romi moment, but I figure all those people must know what they are talking about. That, and it's amazing to me to see Romi today and realize how much he has already grown and changed in the five weeks we've been a family. So I've decided to write down some Romi facts.
Romi's favorite food is cotton. The preferred method of intake is to suck on Ima or Abba's soft shirt while they are still wearing it. A close second is to eat one of Jacob's onsies while in the car. A burp cloth will do, but it comes in a distant third.
Romi is ticklish, most especially on his upper thighs. Biting his shoulders will also make him laugh. His belly is ticklish too, but not as much. He can even anticipate a tickle, and will laugh as you get closer.
To get the Romster to smile, throw him. Yep, just toss him almost anywhere: up, down, sideways. As long as he's airborne and there's a threat of bodily harm, he'll grin like the Cheshire Cat.
The little man-arooni can pick up a Gerber's Puff, but hasn't figured out how to get it into his mouth. However, he is an expert at whipping off his parents' eyeglasses.
When he gets excited, Romala will kick his feet up. If he's on his back, that means repeated leg lifts and slams. If he's on his stomach, that means kicking donkey style, with his legs up and out.
Romi has absolutely no interest in his pacifier. He likes to talk to the lion on his crib bumpers. After sleeping, when you change his diaper, he does a full body stretch (which is cute but makes the diaper changing more a challenge). He can scream, grunt and make vowels sounds. Not only is he not afraid of water, he likes to put it in his mouth, which means take-you-by-surprise face dives into the bath water.
And still, the very best sound in the entire world is when he laughs.
