I've always considered myself a pretty even keeled person. I like to talk and I like social situations, but I always would try to look like I had complete control at all times. I was calm cool and always collected. That is, until I became a mom.
This cute little girl has me doing things I wouldn't normally do.
For instance... Hadley went about a month trying her hardest to get her hands into her mouth. The only problem was, she couldn't figure out how to get them out of a tight fist! She would try and try to fit her whole fist in her mouth. These efforts would just lead to frustration and screaming. And this wasn't just an occasional thing. She did it a lot! I felt so sorry for her (and for me sometimes) and was longing for the day when the poor thing would realize that her hands fit better when they were open! So, one day when I was out in public shopping at a shoe store, I looked down to see this:
To which I exclaimed (quite loudly), "She put her fingers in her mouth!!" You see, normally I would never yell like that in public, but she makes me do silly things!
For more proof on how Hadley brings out the silly in me... watch (and listen) as Hadley laughs for the first time!
Before Hadley, I would have never posted a video of me making ridiculous noises (Lets be honest, I would have never made them in the first place) ...but now, if it gets Hadley to laugh I'll make any silly noise that works, and I will do it in front of anyone!
I am sure this isn't the last of the crazy things I will find myself doing as Hadley grows!
