Attack of the 72-inch Baby

Andrea’s errr feisty personality is really beginning to show. She has shown, in more ways than one, that she’s not one baby to mess with.

Situation #1: We were in a shop when she spotted a 1 yr and 3 month old baby (6 months older than her). Andrea ran towards the baby, stopped a few inches in front of the baby and held the baby’s face. The baby screamed and ran away. Andrea ran after her and once again tried holding her. This is a milestone. First act of terrorizing another human being: Dec. 24, 2007

Situation #2:  Andrea is at the stage of being extremely clingy to me. She would cry whenever people would even attempt to pry her from me. When I start walking towards the crib or her stroller she suddenly holds on tight. One of our maids decided to trick Andrea by quickly grabbing her from behind. When she did this, Andrea hit her on the face and then tried to bite her. WOW!!  So kidnappers beware, Andrea knows self-defense.

Situation #3: I have an annoying habit of cleaning Andrea incessantly. Whenever I’m carrying her, I’m poking at her nose, her ears, etc. I just need to make sure Andrea looks presentable. Andrea usually is okay with this but sometimes she finds me annoying. This morning I was trying to clean her nose so I was pinching her nose and suddenly she grabs my nose and does the same. Okay Andrea, I get it…Don’t do unto others.
