What I Learnt About "almost-one-year-old" Babies.

What I Learnt About/From "almost-one-year-old" Babies.

They read books upside down.
They will get you into trouble the moment you look away from them and go bang their little heads on very hard places and .. get you into trouble. Ah well.
U cannot type with a one year old on your lap!!
They squirm.
They laugh… with a very gap toothed smile that will have the rest of the supermarket chasing after you . and then they will cry. Which will leave you … well….
They are often the most frustrating creatures in the world.
They laugh.
And the smile
And they babble.
Which I am getting better at interpreting,.
And they laugh,.
And if u raise your voice, calling for someone else even, they cry.
They forgive.
They fuss.
They laugh., and they babble and they love music .
Their main aim in life sometimes is to knock down what's on the table.
They have four hands,(All Left)
A well aimed kick to your solar plexus, be it from a one year old, does wind you,
Their head is hard and if they laugh and arch backwards on your lap , the connecting of your lip and their head is painful,very and yelping will only get you a big sloppy kiss on your lips, which you have to take and grin, with tears pouring down your face.
They bite.
They have a good grip.
They snuggle.
They cuddle
They will hold onto you as if for their dear life.
They understand everything u say. Almost.
They read the Harrison's. upside down.
They think dangling earrings dangle so that they can use them to sit up. Once. Only once, and that was enough,
They love it when u smile,
U can sing in your worst, off tune voice .. even "parlez vous", and they'll love it.
Even when the dog turns away at your yodeling, they'll stay and laugh,
Never let a one year old dance on your full stomach.
They're adept at tearing pages of books you are reading, esp when u are not giving them your full attention. Beware.
They laugh and they smile and they talk.
And they smell so incredible. If I could just bottle up the best test scent in the world, it would be of baby, sleeping cos then u can jus bend over her and jus drink it all in.a wake, she does not like being squeezed tight.:-)

This is dedicated to my little niece, who well.. now goes by the lovely name.. lil.cant think what they'll actually call her at this rate.:-)


As is obvious I am not the author of the post, a good freind is. thank you good freind
