You dressed as a mouse (small but mighty) for Hallowe'en, but you'll always be my Snuggle Bug, or Halle - go - balle to Anneka and the "cutest baby in history" to Daddy. You rock our world! We are IN LOVE!
You are a mini machine. You crawl and climb and pull up. When we hold your hands you walk - high stepping actually across the room. You cling to me like a koala bear when you are tired, bumped or bruised (which is often) or scared...I swear you could climb me like a tree trunk. When you were scared of me with my big yellow owl-eyes on All Hallow's Eve you clung sobbing to your Daddy who was much more cozy as "The Teddy Bear's Picnic". I later took you into Becky's bathroom and held you as I washed my make up off. I could feel all your contracted muscles begin to relax as the mama you know emerged. I just want to squish you to pieces and eat you up!
You're laugh is hilarious and comes so easily. You get so excited with your world of learning - for example, when you pull up on something new you look at me laughing your excited laugh and tensing your little muscles.
You're pretty easy to be around. You go to sleep easily on your own, you nap well, you enjoy exploring and don't need to be picked up as much, you're happy in sling, stroller or backpack, you love other babies and kids. Sometimes you shy away from adults and other times you engage and wave at many. Those are your waving days. You've also been attempting hand clapping and are in full babble mode. You're Daddy agrees with me that you are actually saying "Mama" directed at me. You understand so many things - when we call you for your bath you crawl full tilt laughing and cajoling into the bathroom.
On the flip side, you can get so angry. So many similarities to your sister - quick with your emotions - yet also so different. I hope I am right, but I think you two are going to be really good buddies. You both clearly are fun girls. The other day you and Anneka were playing cat and mouse and you were laughing and laughing, it was the best thing a Mummy could see!
