Hello KickyBaby!
I think everyone is inclined to think that what their baby does is what every baby does. It is only recently that I've realized that some of these things may be character traits, giving us glimpses in to the person that you are becoming.
You have been a great sport coming out to all of my breastfeeding events. You've made appearances at the NMAC (http://nursingmoms.net/) Breastfeeding 101 talks at BabiesRUS and 2 weeks ago you came with me to my breastfeeding counseling training class. People told us afterward that you were so good, better then their kids would have been. And I got to wondering, is this true? You have been an incredibly social little girl. You love smiling at people and interacting with them. You have always been happiest "in arms" so to speak and I thought it was just because you were a baby. But maybe it is also because you are you! You seem happiest in groups of people, watching them and listening to them. (Especially other children!) I rarely need toys when we are in a room of chatter and bustling; You seem perfectly content to soak in the interactions. It makes outings very easy. (On the flip side, it can be tough being the only one spending time with you because you are not necessarily content to play on your own!)
Also, you love the wind in your hair! I wonder what this will mean in the future. I first noticed this when the weather got warmer and we rolled our windows down in the car. You seemed to love the air whipping through the car, blowing everything around. On Saturday I brought you to the park to walk with the Dresher Parents group and you got your first taste of the swings. You kept smiling, swinging back and forth. I think some kids would be startled, but you seemed nothing short of delighted.
I love to witness that delight, to get to be a part of some of your firsts. Thank you for being my little pal in life, for coming with me and capturing all these smiles and hearts. Thanks for being my wonderful little girl.
Your mom,
Rachel
