in my non-parenting days i thought babies were all pretty much the same – they ate, they cried, they slept and so on and so forth. and while it was always apparent that they differed in obvious ways, i don’t think i had an appreciation for how early expressiveness could develop.

while little odin has always been a charmer, lately he’s been showing a more nuanced side to his personality; sometimes he gets this complicated look while he appears to be looking right through me and i can’t help but wonder what’s going on in that little head of his.
