The Daily Hailey

Maybe some people will think this is a silly thing to post about, but not me. I love Dekker’s details. There are unlimited beautiful things about him, but I’m going to go on the physical side of things today. One. Beautiful. Part. At. A. Time.

If you look closely, you can see a little dot in Dekker’s right eyebrow. We thought it was one of those little white bumps that every baby is born with, just a little bigger, but this one never went away. Perhaps a little calcium deposit?

Skin. Soft skin. So touchable and smooth.

His tongue. He stuck it out at me the first time we met. How could I not love it? He is just a very animated character and this only adds to his entertainment.

Dekker’s smile lights up the world. Ask anyone. Everywhere we go, he makes friends. He is so engaging and his smile is so charming, its hard to ignore. Why would anyone want to?!

Chubby legs. Now these  are LEGS! Squishy and nummy and perfect for nibbling! Not to mention the toes attached at the bottom!

Not too many babies I’ve met have eyes this huge, and always this open 🙂 Kind of shocking when you’re not used to it, and a little nerve wracking when he glazes over. I love them.

BELLY! A definite favorite. Obviously, these are not in any specific order. The belly, similar to the chubby legs, is perfect for munching on.

You have to look close for this one. Dekker’s birthmark. On his upper right leg is a perfectly square brown spot. I looooove it! Its so different, completely its own. Countless nurses tried to wipe that spot off but its staying put! I’m sure he’ll love my interest in it when he’s a teenager…

Besides obviously loving his expression in this picture (and the drool all over everything), I love his weirdo hair. He has a cowlick on either side of his forehead. I have no idea what we’re going to do with his hair. Ever. Hopefully it will curl and we can just let that happen. But as of right now, his hair usually looks pretty strange.

Lastly, I love my sons sweetness. It is undeniable. I could go on forever about all the things I love about him inside and out, but there are the fun ones.

Dekker boy, you are a hottie. I love you.
