7 Reasons My Baby Is Actually A Hobbit

I love my baby. He's cute and cuddly, and we spend all day and most of the night together. I've recently noticed though that he has a lot in common with hobbits from The Lord of the Rings. Here are a few examples.

1.He's miniature.
Sure, he's a baby, but it's a similarity nonetheless.

2. When he was born, he had hair all over his body, including his feet.
Hobbits have notoriously hairy feet. William just had the typical peach fuzz, but it still reminded me of a hobbit.

3. Eating is the best part of the day.
A hobbit’s truest love is food.

4. He eats like 9 meals a day.
Remember when Pippin talked about second breakfast, elevensies, afternoon tea, lunch, dinner, supper etc? That is Will's reality.

5. He's a good friend.
When Frodo left the Shire on a dangerous quest, his friends willingly followed. William is a great listener and loves to smile in agreement with me.

6. He's underestimated.
Hobbits are always doing amazing things to shock everyone. William does too. From peeing all over things that are well outside his reach to holding the record for shortest nap ever, William loves to surprise us.

7. He provides a significant amount of comic relief.
The hobbits are always making everyone laugh with their shenanigans. William is the same way. Who knew newborns were so stinking funny?!

DISCLAIMER: I'm incredibly sleep deprived right now.
