...they grow up so fast!!

Thank you, everyone, for your kind comments. He really is a happy baby.

Funny story. I went to visit a friend of mine who has a baby 6 days younger than Hugito. I noticed that when her baby cries, he has tears streaming down his face. I'd never noticed that with Hugo. I asked his pediatrician about it. She immediately took blood from him, and referred me to a pediatric opthamologist. She had me terrified! She was checking for connective tissue disorders, etc. Once the opthamologist saw him, she looked at us like we were crazy and asked why we thought he didn't have tears. Her diagnosis? A happy baby doesn't cry, therefore no tears! He didn't even cry when they drew blood! He cooed at the doc! :rolleyes:

Such a cute story!! Every time I see Hugito, I can't stop smiling, so I check your posts often to see his adorable picture :D

Thanks so much for sharing your pictures of your happy little guy! :D

Oh my goodness! I just want to smooch those adorable dimples!! Happy 3- months sweet boy!

What a cutie! :)

Awwww.... what a complete sweetie! I can tell he has a great personality already! Look at those eyes and how they sparkle!

Oh Debby, he is so adorable! I have always admired his picture on your posts, but these last ones are so sweet! He has the dimples that will have women cooing over him for years to come!

I love the story about the tears! As I was reading it, I was thinking, I bet he rarely cries! And that is what you found out! I have always thought that babies that are laid back and easygoing (as Hugito seems to be) are the result of parents who are not overbearing and who are relaxed and confident in their abilities to be parents! So, cudos to you and your husband for being such wonderful parents and creating such a cutie patootie! ;)

Oh My Goodness!
How precious..... makes want to have a baby too! ;)

OMG just look at that face! He's soooo sweet and getting so big:D

Awwwh he is soooooo cute!!! :) I love the one where he's sticking out his tounge

What a cutie and so full of expression. Love those dimples!

Hugito wanted me to thank everyone for the compliments and he loved all the hugs, kisses and cheek pinches. :D

What a handsome guy.

Re: the tears. Aidan *just* started to produce enough tears when he cries to have his eyes appear watery and maybe *a* tear go down his cheek. Babies' tear ducts aren't fully operational for quite awhile after birth - why your pediatrician didn't know/say this is beyond me. It's only an issue if there are no tears (no watery eyes) after the first YEAR - and the reason behind it then is usually just a clogged duct that YOU can fix yourself with warm compresses and certain massages! It sucks your doctor scared you!!

That's what I thought too! His eyes aren't dry, he just didn't have tears. It's more unsual that my friend's son had so many tears rather than Hugito not having any. :rolleyes:

3 months already?? wow, time goes so fast!! I love your little Hugito,his pics are always so cute! I can see a really happy boy in them.....:)

Sending tons of kisses and cheek pinches for him....;)
