Christmas Scenes: Baby Nathaniel

My newest nephew, born at an enormous eleven pounds has doubled his weight, which makes him a twenty pound eight week old.  That’s enormous, by the way.  Gigantic.  He has rolls and rolls of adorable chub.  His thighs are monstrous, and there is so much voluptuousness in his cheeks that sometimes it seems like it’s hard work to open his eyes.  Mr. TOF came up to me and puffed out his cheeks with as much air as he could and asked me, “Mama, why Baby Nathaniel do this all the time?”

I spent as much time as I could snuggling him, but I had to fend off a lot of other people, namely YaYa and The Banana.  The Banana spent hours rocking her sleeping cousin, singing him lullaby after lullaby.  She has a knack for keeping a restless sleeper slumbering.
