Yes, the baby -does- snore

[Selestine]

Saturdays are the best day of the week

Baby still has a big mouth! I could hear him while I was outside the house ringing the bell. I swear s/he was waiting for me though (hah, wishful thinking I'm sure! ) Once I sat down with baby s/he immediately climbed up my shoulder to snuggle into my neck again.

And then pretty promptly fell asleep. Here's the noise baby always makes while falling asleep.

And here is the noise baby makes -while- s/he is asleep (sorry for the weird camera angle).

When baby woke up s/he kept biting my shirt, so I figured I'd see if s/he wanted to play with a toy. S/he did.

Here's baby playing -- again sorry for the bad camera-ing.. hard to video when I can't see the screen!

Baby was tuckered after playing for a while and needed another nap.

I am told that baby has become extremely interested in eating real foods, and is very active and tries to follow the gentleman rearing him around whenever he has the chance.

Still not enough feathers to test for gender yet, but they're starting to come in. Maybe next week or the week after. Fingers crossed!

I think we're pretty settled on Echo as a name for a girl, but we just can't decide on a boy name. Personally, I like Dash.. but hubby and the kids do not. They're okay with Vandal, but don't love it. The kids both like Rhys and Dante and hubby likes Leonidas or Aristotle.

He looks like a Bubba or a Baxter to me ^^

Vandal is a great name for a boy, I bet he'd live right up to it too! Great videos, thanks for sharing

I love Rhys! Is it pronounced like Reese? It's unisex and goes well with Zephyr!

Dante is cool.

I agree with raven's about Rhys, it does match Zephyr nicely. So would Riley or Skyler- also both unisex!

Hehe, now I want some pet sea monkeys so I can name one Bubba. Baxter is cute, though it makes me think of a rabbit (probably because a friend in elementary school had Baxter the Bunny).

Now if I can just talk everyone else into Vandal! I think it's really cute, and I figure it is mischievous enough for a blue and gold.

This is probably my favourite of the names that hubby/kids have picked. The kids came up with it (not sure from where.. a game maybe?), but they've been pronouncing it like Wrist without a 't' at the end. I googled it though, after you asked, and it does appear that it should be pronounced like Reese. I'll have to see what the kids think!

I like Riley too -- that's a cute one
