Awwww, or The More They are Amazing and Adorable the More They Are Like Everybody Else...Ain't it Grand?


Along with Anonybabe's new skill set comes the desire to feed Anonyhubby and I. She'll raise a pea-sized smidgen of toast high in the air, holding her mouth open while we lean forward and let her carefully place it in our mouths, and then lean back, pleased and smacking along with us as we chew and swallow. It's great fun, and gives me the opportunity to teach her "nooooo thank you" when I've had enough.

She's also experimenting with the art of stuffing more food than she can possibly swallow into her mouth at once.

Anonyhub is such a fun playmate for her. I try to take pages from his book and sorta roughhouse with her; we have fun and I can finally make her giggle, but Anonyhubby can just make her shreik with laughter. Last night he would "toss" her onto the bed with a dramatic count-off, and then tickle her belly with his scratchy face, or fall onto the bed while she was on it and make her bounce, or "chase" her around the bed while she crawled around on all fours cackling like a maniac. I wish people who have only seen her docile stare could see her enjoying herself. She loves playing peek-a-boo with him because he'll hide behind something like the armchair and then Houdini-like, crawl to another piece of furniture out of her sight and startle her by popping up behind the couch. Or he'll hold up a blanket and peek at her behind it a couple of time and then shimmy himself behind the changing table before dropping it like he's disappeared, then he'll pop out at her with a "boo!" She loves it.
