I have a Minister in the making, an eighteen and a half month old one. She does not fail to bring a smile to our face whenever we bring her out and she says hi and waves to everyone who looks at her. And when we move on, she waves and says bye too.

The hubs puts his mobile on speaker when he speaks to certain people and baby K will say hi too. She hasn't quite learnt the concept that the person on the other line can't see her wave. Jeremy told us last week that at times, baby K will pick up anything and put it to her ear, pretending it to be a phone, and says hi or hullo mummy, daddy or mama. So I told the hubs he can be happy knowing that our baby does think of us when we are not with her. He always wonders if she knows how much we love her.

Baby K has a very amicable personality and is always the first to approach other kids, even if they are older than her. If this is an in-born trait, she definitely inherited it from her daddy. I, on the other hand, am quite aloof. But since having her, I have started to soften a little and will even prompt her to say hi to anyone within close proximity who's looking at her and she didn't notice. 

I guess little children especially of this age really bring people together. Neighbours who we usually don't talk to start to make small talk and smile. And that's because of the child. This is definitely the best age to have them at. And therefore, the time when we should treasure.
