It wouldn't be entirely accurate to say that Iohan has only two speeds, Happy and Asleep, as these month-old pictures might suggest. It is however, at least somewhat accurate to say that. Jonah and Manny were both excellent babies, demanding in their baby-ways, but un-colicky, un-fussy, interested in their surroundings and pretty friendly. Iohan, though, has apparently determined to be The Most Excellent Baby, and he is. I'm not sure if it's inborn personality, or if he's already adjusted to being lost in the shuffle of three kids and has adapted to a forced low-maintenance lifestyle. (This latter option makes me sad, especially since he's right now my most enjoyable child: He doesn't talk back or throw fits (yet), he still nurses and therefore cuddles, and he always has a smile for Mama. He deserves lots of attention, not leftover attention!) Whatever the cause, Iohan is great joy to have around. I find myself hoping that his middle name ("Hilary," meaning "cheerful") is prophetic. God should be so good.
