You know you’re in trouble when “la bamba” makes you cry
March 19, 2007 at 11:27 pm | In M'ijo | 34 CommentsAnd it did that to me today, in the car, on my way to fed-ex to send off the authenticated DNA results.
Because when the Boy was doing his most excellent imitation of a howler monkey on speed, we would try to distract him with this maraca. Shaking it, rattling it – singing la bamba so off-key that I’m surprised he stopped crying…
He is the most excellent, fabulous, wonderful boy ever (even when he’s howling). And when he’s not howling? He has this smile that goes from sly and mischevous to cheek stretchingly wide.
He lives to take baths and splash his mamas. He is far more socially at ease than either of his mamas and loves to hang with other babies. He started rolling from back to side while we were with him. He loves to check out his hands and to kick his little legs all around.
And I miss him like crazy. The only thing that made giving him back bearable was seeing how happy the nannies were to have him back and how much they loved him.
(I know what you all really want are pictures. Go to flickr for more… pictures with grown-up faces are friends only for paranoid internet privacy reasons… or because I want more people to become my flickr friends!)

I have been following your story for quite some time and I am thrilled that your visit when well and that you are more in love with your son as the days go by.
I can’t wait to hear that he is home safely with the both of you.
Rosany.
I would love to see all of your pictures!!!

A&P – I am so pleased for you. May the next few weeks continue to go without a hitch.
(Seems like the boy is already acquiring quite a wardrobe)

Your post is making me cry. I can’t imagine how hard it must have been to give him back. I hope time moves quickly until your trip to pick him up. He is truly adorable.

i cannot imagine what it must have been/be like to leave him there. will you be able to take another trip?
was i right that once you met him you are not able to even imagine having a girl?

Said it before and I’ll say it again–he’s a real Cutie. And like Minnesota Nice, I second the comment about his wardrobe. He’s going to be a sharp-dressed man.

how do you wait? he is just too adorable! i hope he is home in your arms asap.
p.s. i’ll be your Flickr friend if you let me. My Flickr handle is odamle, and so far all pics are public, tho if we ever did put any with our faces on, they’d be private and i’d be looking for friends.
