atticus changed olive's baby doll's diaper, complete with wipes. he also poked olive in the eye, but then made her smile. she's really starting to watch him a lot and be interested in what he's doing and holding. (in fact, i pointed out to him that she was interested in what he was holding, which in turn led to the poking of the eye incident. which i hope was an accident. because my kids love each other. and will never ever ever hurt each other on purpose. right?!) i mean, look at them.
my girl started smiling a little later than atticus did, but now she doesn't ever stop. she loves to be talked to (and talking back!) and she started making little laughing noises today.
i love having a girl. i'm excited to be able to relate to her a little differently than my boy. i mean, i love to watch him play, but i don't personally love guns, superman, or throwing the ball for the dogs (and he does it for hours!). i do, however, love pretty things and shopping and dancing and baking and reading. and i wonder what she'll love. before i had kids, i was always afraid that i wouldn't end up really liking them. i knew i'd love them, but i thought that they might be weird (i'm a pessimist, as you know). or gross. or boring. or something. anyway, i'm very happy to report that i think they're pretty much the coolest people i've ever met.
