Brave new world
I have been chasing that smile for a couple of months now, so it feels really good to see Hannes smile every day now. Several times every day. And since he smiles, no, laughs with his entire body and teethless mouth when I make funny faces, the guy obviously has my sense of humor. Witty guy. Anyway, he is definitely turning into a real person with real feelings and emotions. So we can start playing a little.
We were wrestling today (meaning that I was lying on my back on our bed, holding Hannes on my stomach and rolling slightly from side to side. Not sure if Hannes realized he had me in such a dire situation...) when all of a sudden we heard a dog barking outside our window. Hannes's eyes got a little bigger, if possible, as he listened to the sound from outside. I looked him in the eye and said, "yes, Hannes, that's a dog. A dooooog."
And I realized he had never heard that sound before. Let alone seen a dog.
Pretty wild, eh?
