They have all been so wonderful to talk to about what a new mom is going through... commiserate about post partum pains (I prepared for the pains of natural childbirth, but no one tells you about the pain afterwards!), ask the "is this normal?!?" and "is <fill in child's name> doing this??", and the list of benefits goes on and on...
It is really neat to see babies start doing the same things around the same time. It is also great fun to get together see them interact more now that they are becoming more aware of things around them.
I am hoping that Heidi is not going to be a bully. Every time she "plays" with her friends, she wants to roll over them, grab them, suck their face, pull off their clothes. They will kind of just look at her in astonishment like, "what are you doing crazy?!?" I prefer to think of her as a "gentle giant" who is just excited to see them and wants to play.
I can't wait to see all of them grow up together and how they change and interact even more. Hopefully Heidi learns to "play nice." I am reminded of something that my father once told me about my constant teasing of my sisters..."Now Kelly, you'd better be nice to your sisters, are they are not going to like you."
"Now Heidi, you'd better be nice to your friends are they are not going to like you...."
Tipton.
You may remember Tipton, who was born the same day as Heidi, from her baby date at the salon.
Well Tipton, aka Dr. Love (!), came over to visit....
Tipton: "Hello again Heidi! Want to hold my hand?"
Heidi: "No, I want to see if you are getting any teeth"
Heidi: "Now come a bit closer so I can get a better look."
Tipton: "Hey! I thought the doctor was supposed to give the examinations."
Heidi: "Fine. If you don't want to play doctor, I will just roll over you."
Heidi: "Come back, I'm not done with you!"
Tipton: "No, just leave me alone!"
Tipton: "I am never coming back crazy lady!"
(We, of course, hope that Tipton will indeed entertain a visit with Heidi again.)
