New Baby

A good friend of mine had a baby this week. I went to see her after the baby arrived via c-section, and stopped in the nursery first to see the new bouncing baby boy. He was there all new and wrinkled and looking quite tiny and sweet. It is hard to believe my baby is almost 3, and also hard to believe he use to be that small. Well my baby was with me at the hospital for this visit and he was enjoying being able to get right up at the window to view the new arrivals.

We talked about how little the babies are and that they had all just gotten out of the tummies of their mommies. He watched with curiosity as a nurse gave a little boy his first bath. She got him all cleaned up and dressed in a new diaper, then turned him around so that we could see him. Nathan looked at him and talked about his toes and the thing (security device) on his leg. Then in a very scared voice said "oh no, mommy? why is his penis on his belly?" Yes, the belly button was there in all the newborn glory stretched out and clamped off, and my boy who is obsessed with his own penis was completely concerned about the penis of the new baby. It was a good laugh for me and my friends, but the new dad in the room, looked a little worried, until he realized it was not his baby being discussed, and that it was just a new belly button in the makling.

I will try to get some pictures up this weekend of our trip last week to the pumpkin patch.
