The many Looks of Leo

Leo, naturally, is not only a genius but also incredibly cute. This goes without saying. However, Paul and I have noticed that although he doesn't know how to smile yet, he has thousands of other expressions that he adopts in very quick succession. These are some of our favorites:
  • Refugee: Milk! God! It's been so long! Argh! Let me at it!
  • Office Worker: another day, another round of sucking milk. Sigh.
  • Drunken Sailor: after having drunk a lot of milk, but still thirsty for more, he tends to leer at my breast.
  • Degenerate Roman Senator: after having drunk even more milk, he waits for a slave girl to come pat his back so he can go back to gorging himself.
  • Opiate Addict: after having drunk yet more milk, he can barely keep his eyes open, but he is still desperately searching for one more shot of milk.
  • Village Idiot: when he sticks out his tongue and can't find a breast that is being repeatedly stuck into his face.
  • Little Boy: once he is peacefully sleeping (and the debauchery is over), he just looks damn cute and innocent again.
  • Torture Victim: when we are changing or bathing him.
  • Demon: when he is angry that we are changing or bathing him, and turns red.
  • Bird: when he is neither tired, nor soiled, nor hungry, and is looking around with big wide eyes.
  • Awestruck: he opens his eyes so wide that the whites show around them. He looks a little paranoid and crazy, but is usually calm. We can't tell what he is looking at that he seems so amazed by.
