Peepers a.k.a. Mr. Peeps

Soft, little black feathers of hair trying so hard to be a mohawk...but with only one side cooperating, what can be done!? My baby boy. My newest boy. So much like his big brother and so different at the same time. button eyes. Paddington Bear eyes, my husband says. First referred to as teddy bear eyes for their dark roundness. Small lashes curling towards the outer corners. Faint eyebrows perpetually set in a plaintive pose. cheeks round and soft, set above a tiny mouth and an indignant little chin. such nicknames we lovingly bestow upon him! Squeaker Macintosh, Squawker O'Shanighan, Peeper McGee and recently an obscure reference to Chim Chim. The essence of his Dad...he is sweet, impatient, clever, and endlessly adorable. Someday he will reflect his father's nobility, honor, humor, kindness, compassion and consideration. Someday he will show me what I have given him. Someday, not yet.
