The many faces of Genevieve

I came home the other day to find that Naomi and Nana had taken quite a few pix of the little girl. It really showed the variety of expressions she now uses. It is quite amazing when she smiles - and she does, a lot of the time, as she's feeding, so it's a bit difficult to take a picture of that one. But she's certainly Mummy's girl, as she does love her food.






She is also quite communicative, and you can get a good understanding of what she is feeling by watching her, even if she can't yet tell you. She's doing the 'poking tongue' action pretty regularly - watching you and copying what you do. That is aparantly one of the precursors to learning how to talk. So Naomi has been saying "Dad dad dad" to her. Now I believe this is so that she comes crying to me - but this is also supposedly due to the fact that "Dad" is easier to say than "Mum".



Most of these pix were taken within seconds of each other - although some I've roped in from previous weeks. So if you come at the right time, you'll get a whole heap of action. If you come at the wrong time, you'll just get a heap of sleeping or wailing.








If you haven't come to visit in some time, then I'd heartily recommend you do. She really is a charmer! (Already... YIPE!)









Sometimes you do wish you could understand what she was thinking. Homer's brother's baby language converter would be great! (Or was that a dog language converter? Hey... they've had so many episodes, it's a safe bet they've had both)







This one is most likely about wanting more food - less chit chat. Even when she doesn't want any more, she's always pretty happy if it's still in front of her (which is not always that practical).











Peace Out!
(and what exactly does that mean? Am I showing my age there? Or just watching too much Biggest Loser?)
