Taplin's first visit to Huntsville! Louie decided he wasn't going to lose out on his evening snuggle with me, even if he had to share it with Taplin. Taplin is the perfect size for holding. He loves being held closely, especially on someone's chest. I suppose it is comforting to hear the heartbeat. He only cries when he is hungry or needs changing. Meghan says he has a fussy time about seven each evening, but he is by no means a fussy little guy. His hair reminds me of Shannon when she was little. I can see that he resembles his brother a bit, but not totally. He moves and moves and moves when he is awake and alert, wide-eyed and craning his neck to look around. He holds up his head well for being just seven weeks old. Meghan thinks he weighs about twelve pounds now.
Time for a walk with Louie and Bridger. Bridger likes to walk with me down the block, and he chatters the whole way. He picks up treasures along the way, something for Mommy, Taplin, and Grandpa back at home. With Bridger holding one of my hands and the leash in the other, we ever so slowly make our way to the corner and back. Bridger wants to hold the leash, but Louie is strong and pulls too much.
Where's Taplin? On the dining room table. Such a precious little fellow. His arms are long and moving constantly. He seems so intent, so serious.
Friday afternoon, Meghan, Bridger, and Grandma (Grandpa babysat Taplin) took a trip to Bridge Street where we had lunch and and did a bit of shopping. Bridger had a ride on the merry-go-round. It was hard to decide what animal to choose, but the rabbit won. He told me last night the ride was fast and fast and fast.
Meghan shopped for a necklace for Aunt Shannon, while Bridger and I looked at everything in the store. He loved the bracelet display, and he thought he looked pretty good with five wooden ones on his arm.
Here's Bridger standing tall on the horse statue in front of P.F. Chang's.
And here's Bridger with his green lollipop in the green chair.
Saturday morning, Louie's on the job making sure Taplin is okay. Louie seems to be pretty concerned when Taplin makes noise and moves around.
Are you all right, Taplin? Yesterday, Louie stole Taplin's pacifier and a diaper and a baby outfit and a puzzle piece and a block and Meghan's shoes and...but at least he seems to be very gentle with the baby. Bridger wants to play games with Louie, and the two of them get along pretty well until Louie gets too rambunctious. Right now, Meghan and the boys have gone to lunch with an old friend of Meghan's, and Louie is sound asleep, recharging before they come back and Louie has to get back to his job of watching the baby and entertaining Bridger.
