*beams* Outsider confirmation! Haha...

I try to resist the urge to just dress her up and pose her and take pictures whenever I'm looking after her. But I'm weak.

Hee! I tried to persuade her to smile without the keys in her mouth but she's teething so it's a lost cause. Keys in mouth = happy. No keys = not happy.

Haha... the best part is she smiles the most when she sees her own reflection. She's such a little diva. She's only 6 months old but she already knows that when you take a picture of her, she should grab for the camera and check herself out.

She's not crawling YET but she's only 6 1/2 mos. She's dying to crawl though -- holding her in your lap is like trying to hold onto a monkey. She gets her hands under her and then looks perplexed because she's not sure what to do with her feet. It's pretty hilarious.

Yeah, my niece tends to do the same thing. My brother (her dad) insists that she's falling over *on purpose* because she *wants to* but I think he's just being parental.

Hee! She must be cute, if I still like her after changing her diapers all day.

Hee! You still haven't really seen her awake yet, have you?

more babies should wear green

My sister-in-law and I agree with you on this. I mean, pink is cute, but it's not the only colour. She and I both start gagging when people present the baby with cutesy butterfly/teddybear/bunnyfluff-adorned clothing.

You put them keys in the freezer for her, right?

No, not those ones. She seems to have backed off on the constant complaining about her gums so there's no immediate need.

I accept your judgment.

Yeah, it's a defense mechanism against all the times that she's smelly and less cute.

Aren't they? I'm so curious how they'll come out: dad's eyes are grey-blue-green and mom's eyes are hazel-green, so I think this kid is going to have a very cool eye colour.

They're excellent for blowing raspberries into.

She turned out pretty good. My sister-in-law frequently blinks at her and says, "I can't believe she's MINE." I think she was bracing herself for one of those homely babies.

Hee. She's not that snuggly, unfortunately, unless she's actually completely unconscious. When she's awake it's like trying to hold on to a running fire hose.
