Big smiles
Roller-coaster sleep saga
Holding onto his own ear for comfort
Grabbing our chins, mouths, hair, dog
Real-deal thumb sucking (until camera comes out), but still pacifier before sleep
Loud shrieks for attention
Lots of fun with toys and pounding to make noise
Eager chowing at the first solid food, but later efforts with lots of funny faces
Yes, that's a real giant pumpkin, and yes, Niels made it up (and down) the mountain
