All About Baby

Baby’s changing table is in the master bathroom. Sometimes, after a diaper change, he lies there on his changing pad, jauntily moving his arms and legs and smiling at something (we think it’s the hideous egg-shaped light). But when he wakes me up at night for a feeding and I take him in there for the requisite pre-meal diaper change, his head barely touches the pad before he scrunches up his face, rapidly turning scarlet, and screams with pure rage. How dare I bring him there when he’s hungry!

If he has to wait for a feeding, when he finally latches on he grabs me with both hands and looks around furtively, as if on guard against anyone who would try to steal his meal or take him away from it.

When he’s being burped, he opens his eyes wide and raises his eyebrows in a comical expression of surprise.
