Verbs


Anyah is always watching something. Watching me talk, watching the toys move, watching her sister play, watching the scenery go by, watching strangers down the way, watching Daddy on the couch...watching...
She went from the baby who was always asleep to a baby who now drinks a bottle while trying to turn herself around to watch what is behind her...because what is behind you is always cooler than what's in front of you...in case you haven't noticed.
Layla is not a watcher. She will search for things she likes and point them out to you but then she's perfectly content to move on to the next thing. In fact, if Layla had a verb (even as a baby) it would have been going. She was going to roll over early, going to grab that, going to kick, going to run, going to climb, going to the park, going with Nannie, going to the room where daddy is, going on an adventure in her imagination, going dancing, going to be a puppy dog...going...
From a going-baby to a watching-baby is an easier transition than the other way around I suppose but still I find myself staring right back at her sometimes and wondering what Anyah's thinking in there. With Layla it was easy...she was thinking about where she was going next to get herself into a little mischief. With Anyah...not so sure really...

I can't wait until she can tell me
