Charisophia

I’m amazed at how much of my girl’s personality is showing through more and more everyday. In the beginning she was a quiet, very observant little thing. She didn’t cry unless she really needed something and in general was very content. She is still that way and so much more.  She is very expressive and uses her little noises to communicate all the time. When she’s ready to get out of bed in the morning she coos or sometimes yells. Never crying, she just yells or screetches to let us know she is ready to get up. She is always so happy when she wakes up. When I open the door to say good morning she already has a big grin across her face. She is very content playing by herself or sitting in her seat watching the animals wrestle. Nothing gets more giggles out of her than her pal, Oliver. As soon as she sees Oliver walk by she starts shaking and laughing with glee. What’s funny is I think Oliver adores her too, though she ends up pulling chunks of his hair out every time he’s within reach.
She is still very observant and tends to be very quiet around other people. She has never minded strangers and will go to anyone. She’s very trusting and seems so confident. She is definitely very determined and energetic too. She’s never been a baby that just sits, she likes to either be looking around and involved with the people around her or exploring all of her toys on the floor.
I feel closer and closer to her the older she gets. When Nevie was a newborn I had a hard time bonding with her. It’s hard to feel close to someone that doesn’t seem to know you exist. But now, knowing I’m one of two people on this earth that makes her happiest creates such a close bond. When she needs me and says, “ma-ma-ma” I feel so needed and important. It’s amazing how someone so small can make up such a huge part of my heart. It’s as if I have another soul mate.
