Meow-meow playing with the hammock at our hotel. |
Meow-meow has three nicknames. In the movie Thor, Darcy Lewis, the intern couldn't say Mjolnir so she called it meow-meow. Well, when Meow-meow cuddles with you, it's like you are trapped under Mjolnir and can't get up. But he's also like Thor in that when he's done with his sippy cup, he throws in on the ground and gives you the look that plainly says, "It was delicious, I want another." So sometimes we call him Thor. But when he's cranky, we call him Captain Cranky Pants.
Meow-meow was able to come with us to Mexico. He had a good time, some of the time. His whole schedule got out of whack and was Captain Cranky Pants quite a bit. Everyone loved him, and we would get stopped in the streets with people wanting to fawn over him. I'm sure they see lots of white babies but it's not often they see a white red-headed baby. He ate up the attention and hammed it up. He would be Captain Cranky Pants one minute, then someone would pay attention to him and he would be so cute, as soon as they would walk away he would go back to Captain Cranky Pants. Meow-meow was teething as well, which contributed to his cranky pants, and consequently gave him a runny nose. Meow-meow likes having his face washed and likes his nose wiped.. He learned if he blew his nose, he would get attention by having it wiped. So, when he would get really mad, he would blow his nose. It was pretty funny to watch him blow his nose to indicate his extreme displeasure.
We went many places and saw many things and we got several pictures of him in each place. Since he has such light skin and red hair, I would cover him from head to toe in sunblock. He didn't care for hats so I would have to rub the sunblock into his hair. It was hilarious to see the wild hair and so I took a picture every day of his wild hair.
