Metal Meredith

Man, this kid is a total charmer. I can’t walk through a grocery store, mall or playground without being stopped. No, they don’t want to talk to me. In fact, sometimes they never even look up like the stroller must be propelled solely on his charm. Forget trying to quickly run into my Grandparents’ Assisted Living facility. The walkers and wheelchairs come buzzing up at what could only be referred to as “old people break-neck speed.”

I won’t lie and tell you that I am shocked. He is just one cute boy. He is also, one big, lazy boy. He has mastered sitting still, lying and even sort of rolling over. It is more of a fat induced roll, though. He turns to the side and can’t avoid the momentum it kicks up. He is rolling none the less.

He is doing all those things that we find amazingly funny and most people (most childless people) do the shoulder shrug of “I just don’t get it”. He claps, does giant bellly laughs, meows at the cats, copies all kinds of noises and sounds, and waves when you wave to him. Most of all, he is doing this goofy head tilt grin thing that is best viewed in the video below:
