Oslin our growing boy!

These first pictures you'll hardly believe. I have to post them to record this, because it's that unbelievable. Oslin is the worst little scratcher ever. He has very sharp fingernails, and despite my efforts to trim them, and file them, he can still scratch. He has gotten his face many times, but then he took to scratching his head. In a few short seconds of being upset he can, literally, draw blood and scratch about 20+ little scratches in his head. We first resorted to putting socks on his hands to try to get him to stop scratching. However, he's at the age, where he loves to touch and explore everything. And, it only took him about a week to figure out how to pull the socks off his hands. This is what he did one day, when he got the socks off after he had been sleeping.
 So, now we've resorted to him wearing a hat. Most of his infant hats were too small, so when we found a larger infant hat at the CMU Bookstore (Colorado Mesa University), we had to buy it. He just might be the youngest CMU fan in the Valley. This is what my little man looks like everyday sporting his hat no matter his attire. It's actually worked. The only thing is he can get it off from time to time, and it's getting too hot for hats. It will look a little funny, when he's wearing shorts and a beanie. Hopefully, he'll quit scratching soon. He scratches us too. Both Danny and I look like we have a new kitten at our house, with little scratches on the backs of our hands and fore arms.
 It official, April 5, 2013,  Oslin is rolling over unassisted. He is starting to play and join the family chaos more and more everyday.


 He is a little chunky monkey. Gotta love those rolls.

I hear you about the scratching! Gabriel did the exact same thing, but we were lucky that we were going into winter so hats were a must! He is such a cute chubby baby!
