Baby Love

An interesting couple of days recently. On Saturday we met up with my friends Richard and Adriana and their 10 month old daughter. It was really strange picking up their baby cos we are so used to Aimee that it came as a shock to hold a baby that is much bigger and stronger. At ten months, my friends baby can wriggle and fight and reach out for things you thought were metres away from her prying hands. It seemed like you needed to keep an eye on her constantly. But she is really cute and I loved the way she happily takes an interest in books and food and can react when you call her name. Aimee is still a long way away from that phase, but already she is smiling tons more and her laughter is also progressing away from the hoarse grunt to a short chuckle. She also cries and last night, she cried every two hours thorughout the night -it was tough.Today, my work colleague brought her 3 month old daughter in to the office. Again, I was amazed how different her baby is, even though there a only a few weeks difference in age between her and Aimee. This baby has a massive shock of wonderful long black hair. It made for an interesting image as the baby itself was quite small - smaller than Aimee I reckon. Anyway, I helped change the babies nappy much to the amusement of my other office colleagues. But I do adore babies in all their shapes and sizes, maybe I am a softie!
