Because he certainly isn&#8217;t the smartest. He fell asleep on my lap, as he&#8217;s wont to do, and at one point while I was reading my book, I felt this odd sensation. I looked down and saw that the Doodlebug was trying to latch onto my stomach in his sleep. He&#8217;s also still furiously trying to insert his entire fist into his mouth. Sometimes, when that doesn&#8217;t work, he&#8217;ll try to insert <i>both<\/i> fists into his mouth simultaneously. I&#8217;ve told him that if he can put his entire fist in his mouth, I&#8217;ll give him twenty bucks. If he can get both of them in there, then I&#8217;ll up it to fifty bucks. He&#8217;s taken the challenge seriously but has yet to succeed. I would also like to point out that as your typical overindulgent parent, I have bought the Doodlebug more than his fair share of &#8220;developmental toys&#8221; (they claim to help your child improve his skills; I think all they do is &#8220;develop&#8221; parents into major consumers) but what does he like to play with best? His burp clothes. Strip that baby naked on his changing table and give him a burp cloth to grab and gnaw on and he&#8217;s the happiest person ever. I&#8217;m just relieved he has those good looks to trade on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thank goodness the Doodlebug is the cutest baby ever.
