I was hoping to put this off for a few more years.
Perhaps a decade or two, or even seven.
But it's happenening so quickly!
Brent's got a girlfriend!
I was hoping that the first one would at least have hair. But I guess peach fuzz will have to do for now.
At first it was just friendly flirting - mostly on his part. I would put him in the high chair next to Jenna (who is 3 weeks younger than him), and he would flap and shriek and grin from ear to ear. Jenna always played it cool, continuing to stuff pancakes in (and on) her cheeks and pretending not to notice his advances. But it seems she has finally given in to his charm. This morning I set him down and he raced over to her while she played in her saucer. Both of their eyes lit up like it was Christmas! She started laughing and jumping around. He kept trying to pull himself closer, and she even put her hands over top of his to help him up, it seemed.
She's a feisty, hot-tempered little lass. I think they are soulmates. They can both go from zero to tantrum in 4 seconds flat.
It seems they are telepathically connected, too! Whenever one of them wakes up, the other across the room instantly knows it and is awake in a few seconds, even when they don't make any noise. They take naps, eat, and play at the same time as the other. And I hear it is quite a sight to see them on the floor playing and laughing and crawling over each other. They are the talk of the baby circuit these days.
His first real girlfriend.
(sigh.....)
It's all downhill from here...
