A Babys Mentality

Today I am spending my time with little Addison Christina. She is almost 8 months old and is the sweetest thing I have ever been so blessed to watch. She plays so well all by herself and fills my day with little toothy smiles. When she fusses a little, shes ready to eat. Then she plays and when more little whimpers begin, its time to sleep! So simple to take care of and is definitely the worst form of birth control I've ever seen because all she does is make me want one just like her.

This morning, I was in the kitchen making myself an egg while Addie played in the living room. When I turned around, there she was, peeking her little head around the corner grinning away at me and I started to wonder what she thinks when she sees me. Things must be so simple in her mind. Never a worry or concern other than "I'm hungry" or "I'm tired." She spends her days playing and learning and enjoying every single interesting thing around her. (even things she shouldn't be enjoying yet like cords and wrappers!!) Absolutely everything that Addie sees is new. A big discovery that she is raring and ready to rip apart, and usually suck on, to find out all she can about it.

Now granted, I realize that she is not thinking things through when she sees something the way I would. She doesn't wonder how it works or what it does. However, even without those specific curiosities, she still is captivated and mesmerized. Sometimes I think we could learn a lot from a baby. Perhaps we don't need to know every little thing in the world. I am a true believer that people are given way too much information these days. It's almost a sad thought to think that we live in the world we do and there are many people who live their lives bored! Every morning, Addie smiles when she wakes up. She laughs when you tickle her belly and she loves to rattle off little nothings to her brother and sister. This makes her happy. When she's upset, she cries. She doesn't pout and make me guess what is wrong with her. She wears her emotions on her sleeve and even though she's a baby, I think we could learn a thing or two from this little girlie.. <3
