Wow. Edzèa is 7 months old. She’s a busy little bee right now. She isn’t crawling but she’s pretty good at bossing Mommy & Daddy around to get her to the places she wants to go.
Yesterday was a small breakthrough. Uncle Allan, her God-father, babysat her for the afternoon. It wasn’t going well at first with Mommy around trying to work in the house…so I left…to a screaming child who sounded like she was choking she was so hysterical to be held/played with by this *strange* man.
Fast forward to a couple of hours later:
Well, the evidence is in the pictures. She hardly blinked when I arrived home. She was having so much fun with Uncle Allan. He’s *almost* as fun as Dadddy. He had her giggling like crazy over everything. I was soooo happy as I was sooooo worried that I would never be able to leave her with anyone but Tim, me or Tracey. It’s a HUGE relief. She just LOVED him. I guess she cried for 5minutes, then he went and wrapped her in her *blankie* and she calmed down and just had fun with him after that. He says that she hummed along with him to a song he sang her…hmmm, can we say “doting God-father”…anyways, he couldn’t believe how much she likes music. She really does go bonkers for music.
And cats.
Someone at Tim’s work told us the other day that she is the happiest baby he has ever seen. He says he thinks it’s pure genetics while we hope it also has something to do with her loving environment!
Yesterday, a lady at the Centre for Northern Families that we go to for our Songtime on Fridays and Kindermusic on Wednesdays, kept telling me how special Edzèa was. She says she likes other babies but isn’t sure why she just adores Edzèa. And she really is a random stranger although we are now getting to know her. Edzèa likes her too but she completely goes gaga over Edzèa. She appreciates people who appreciate her!
Ok, well, gotta run. Finally, my cold has somewhat subsided and I’m off to Spin class. Need to wake Daddy up to “parent” his daughter this morning!
Weather is bitter here right now. -27 yuck yuck yuck. Vancouver here we come!
