(Continued from previous post) How about hand gestures?


Even hand gestures don't work. I am very disappointed in you.


I must find the optimal strategy that will keep my energy expenditure to a minimum. Simple. Stay calm and let my eyes do the talking.


Don't they look happy without me.

You look as though you've seen a ghost.


To get my point across, I have only one strategy. Cry. I will send a warning now.


No one has taken any notice so I must charge up fully. Ready, steady....


...Go.


Isn't that enough to get your attention? I give up. I must find another way.

A close up.


He has put on a lot of weight.


A rare calm moment. Possibly plotting his next assault.


I wish you stop crying.


I will give you this chess piece if you stop crying. Alas, he did not. She did try to give it (missed the opportunity to take the photo) but she retracted her hand when the crying intensified.

Together

Don't they look good together?

Be gentle

Be gentle with me. I'm only little.

Mature Look

He has a mature look, don't you think?

This is more like it. He was crying his heart out. Lately I talk to him and he seems to understand me and goes quiet. For example, when he is crying in my arms, I tell him that his milk is on his way and he suddenly becomes quiet. Perhaps it is wishful thinking but I like to think that he understands me.


Side view of his head. His weight is above average and his head circumference is very large (between 1 percent and 0.1 percent of all babies). However, his height is slightly below average.

When I asked her to smile, sometimes it turns out to be quite nice.


Other times, it can look contrived.


One of the very few occasions when I managed to get him to sleep. We have not come up with a name yet. We are heading for a world record of the longest time without a name.


Big sister participation. She relishes the opportunity to get involved. Apart from the time when she stood on him by accident, she has been excellent with her brother.


He does not appear to be crying but this is only by chance. I took this during a bout of crying. It just so happened that this particular frame makes him look as though he is content.
