As soon as I got used to all of my friends getting married, one of my best friends (Joy) goes and has a baby! I saw her a few days before she gave birth, and started to cry. (I cry a lot in these blogs, huh?) I was so happy for her and I just couldn’t believe that this was my friend with the big pregnant belly. She looked so beautiful! (I’m thinking about filing this under ‘mid-mid life crisis’ because after I thought about how exciting this is for her…I thought “Wow I’m old. “)
So anyway, a few weeks ago, I was able to visit her and her husband for the evening and got to meet little George. All I have to say is…man, babies are cute. They are like puppies. They blind you with their cuteness into wanting one…until you think about the logistics. For me, I am just getting used to this responsibility thing of paying bills and working daily. I can’t imagine taking care of anyone or anything other than me. (Koda is a stretch as it is! I get grumpy when he wakes me up in the middle of the night walking across the bed. If I actually had to get out of bed, that would be a whole other story.) Anyway, so I met baby George and had a great time talking to Joy about her new adventures in motherhood. I was able to hold him and he didn’t instantaneously start crying, which I took as a good sign that we were going to be buds.
She recently sent me some cute pictures of him that I’m posting. (with her permission, of course! I don’t want all the fame and notoriety that comes from being the subject of my blog go to his little baby head too early. 
). As time goes by, he looks more and more like Joy. I remember her baby pictures (as I’ve known her since we were 3 or 4 years old), and I can’t believe how similar they are. It’s really quite adorable.
George ‘jammin’ in his crib.
In this picture, George reminds me of my dad on vacation. Those who know him also know that as soon as he steps off the airplane, he proceeds to start the ‘double fist, stirring the pot’ action while announcing “We on vacation now! We be jammin’! We be jammin’! Oh YEA!” I fear what will happen if these two expert jammers ever meet. (-shudder-)
Happy little George! I’m sure his parents love it when they get to see this face!
My favorite outfit of his.
I’m pretty sure Watson (my sister and VJ’s dog) would look pretty cute in this get-up too. Except Watson tends to eat everything and not just sand…Hmmm.
His little face cracks me up in this one! He looks like a deer caught in headlights!!
Happy Halloween!!
I’m hoping that until I’m ready to have a baby of my own, I can babysit and play with George. That would be a pretty sweet deal…I get the cuteness and the sleep. I’m glad I thought of this before Joy did…
Looks like you really love that George W.
I freaked your mom out when we first got Watson: I told her we named him Dubya.
Boy George is very cute.
