Little Extravert

Eva's personality is really shining through now. She loves being around people, and hates being left alone or away from the action. It can make it difficult to nurse because she's easily distracted. The other day I was nursing her while playing Christmas music on the radio, and the instant the DJ's voice came on, she turned around to see where it was coming from. We left her with our friends Amber and Xavier the other day so we could go see the Narnia movie in the afternoon, and she was suprisingly unfazed until she wanted to nurse. They tried to give her strained pears just before we came back, they said, but that's not what she wanted, and she was getting testy about it. It's the first time we've been out without Eva since our anniversary in August, unless you count Sunday couple's group at church. Eva loves other children, probably because she loves being with her playmates from my mother's group. I was in a store the other day and this 3-year walked right up to Eva's stroller and said "Hi baby!". Eva immediately started reaching for her. Then this little girl accidentally coughed right in her face. I just about had a heart attack and tried to move Eva away, and of course the girl's mother was nowhere to be seen. I hope she doesn't get sick. She's just starting to feel better.
