Babies: dinner time + nap time = ???

Feeding Joshua is fun.  He makes all sorts of interesting sounds and gets funny looks on his face.  If it is near his nap time, the closer he gets to the end of the bottle, the more his eyes close.  Sometimes they don't close all the way though.  Paula calls that his "food-induced stupor."  He just gets this blank look on his face, his eyes glaze over as he stares off into nothingness.

 

And as he falls asleep, you can see his little body slowly relax.  His arms slowly drift down to his sides.  His legs droop down.  And when you take the bottle away, his mouth stays open as if he didn't notice it was gone.  His lips don't move, he just has a perfect little "O" shape.

 

That's cute and all, but when the eye-thing and the mouth-thing happen at the same time?  It ain't pretty.  In fact it's kinda creepy.  He looks like some kind of baby zombie.  I mean, with his eyes half-closed, a blank look on his face, and his mouth open with his jaw slack... It looked like he was contemplating what my brain would taste like. If he had made one of those little baby moans or sighs, I would have really freaked out.
