Babies

People talk about having “good” babies. I stopped and thought about it one time. Why in the world do we call easy babies good? I would not consider Curtis an easy baby. He can get fussy. Sometimes we do not get along all that well either. But that does not make him a bad baby. All babies are good. They are their own little person, and just because one might cry a little more than another baby doesn’t make them any less good.

For that matter, an easy baby isn’t one never cries, sleeps all the time, etc. They are babies that mesh well with our own personality. What might be an easy baby for me could be more difficult to deal with for someone else. But we can adjust our lives to match up with our babies temperament. I think that’s one of the greatest challenges of parenthood: changing ourselves to be able to meet the demands of our children.

And you probably don’t care about all that, you just want cute pictures. I’ve been messing around with PicMonkey, hope you enjoy.

    All babies are good! Amen to that. You look a lot like your twin in that pic. I am usually really good at telling the two of you apart in pictures, but that one really threw me. I miss you guys! Peter is looking like such a stud in that last picture. 🙂

    You usually don’t wear that sort of color–I wear that color. It’s why I think you look like me.

    I totally agree-you shared this with me when you had Peter, and it really changed my attitude when I had my own baby.
