Congrats! He's absolutely adorable. Now, from an experienced mother of a boy child, a few helpful hints. 1. When tucking a male child under your arm to wash his hair, always make sure that you are not wearing anything that is Dry Clean Only (like acetate). (Learned this one the hard way - soggy armpits are NOT my idea of fun g) 2. The frequency of spitup on the shoulder incidents is in direct relation to the newness/costliness of the article of clothing being spit up on. (Ok, at least I got to wear the dress ONCE before it was ruined) 3. When he reaches puberty and comes home slamming doors and muttering and griping because he's getting "hair down there and it gets caught in my underwear and it HURTS" do not laugh until he has actually left the room. Trust me. This WILL happen at some point. Kate (who has managed not to kill hers in the past 28 years, but isn't making any promises regarding next year g)
