Continuing with his discovery of his hands, Atticus now prefers sucking on his fist instead of his chuppie, what our neighbor calls pacifier (It's Spanish & such a cute word that I have to start using it). He sticks about half of it into his little mouth and slowly gnaws. At first, watching him do this is a little disconcerting because he looks like he is trying to stuff his entire fist into his mouth. But, no, he is just looking to suckle.
Robby & I have also caught him staring as his hand as he touches the wall next to the changing pad. He also tends to touch the bottoms of his feet together when we change his diaper.
Atticus also pays more attention when I read to him. I like to read to him in bed because he'll often fall asleep after a few board books. Yesterday, as I reached the end of The Hungry Caterpillar, he started jabbering away. I put the book down, gave him a kiss, & got out of bed as he stared out of the window. When I returned 5 minutes later, he was fast asleep. This boy loves naps.
Best of all, our boy has manners! Robby remarked on Atticus polite demeanor last night when he described their conversation: "He always waits for you to stop talking before he starts. Did you notice that?" This is how we're able to converse with Atticus; we talk back and forth. He doesn't always emit sound, but he tries. Who knew he'd turn out so polite?!
