My Son, Dr. Evil

Olivia finally trimmed Nathan's fingernails for the first time the other day, so he's been allowed to go without socks on his hands a bit more. I've started to notice another odd habit of his. He extends his pinkie fingers a lot. Either his mother is already schooling him in etiquette when I'm not around, or he's Dr. Evil. He doesn't bring the pinkie up to the corner of his mouth very often, so I'm leaning toward etiquette lessons right now. He moves around a lot, so it was tough to catch on camera. This shot's pretty good though...
On a totally separate note, today was the little dude's first real bath. Up until now, we've been giving him sponge baths. Today he went in the drink. He only fussed a little, so I guess he enjoyed it. Now, Olivia made me promise not to post any indecent pictures of the boy. So after a few minutes of photo editing and some help from Margaret Thatcher... presto! Thanks for the assist, Maggie! Notice the tub he's in. It's baby size and has a little hammock to hold him in. Is that cool or what? I would take more baths if I had a hammock in there to sit in. All in all, the bath went pretty well. He didn't really start fussing until we took him out and he got cold. Mom's hooded towels to the rescue... I have no idea what kind of creature that is on his head, but hey, it's cute.
