Babies, They're Only Fun When They're Not Yours ^_^

Today I got to see my good friend from high school, Krista. She has a 1 and 1/2 year old (little older than that) girl. Super adorable. She has the blonde hair, blue eyes and pudgy cheeks, her smile lights up the room. As soon as I walked into Krista's house, her daughter was attached at the hip. I waited for the little munchkin to say "Mom, who is that?" but then I realized, 1 and 1/2 year olds can barely talk.

Super cute, Hanna, Krista's daughter, is a boatload of smiles and is super goofy, she tries to talk and loves to explore, climb and color (outside of the lines is priority). I got the opportunity to color with her and she got more on her than on the paper har har har. By the end of the coloring session she had a goatee, blue and red arms.

It's weird, I thought I was going to be really tense hanging with her but I had so much fun, I was willing to lay on the floor with her, I was going to play house with Hanna, but I wanted to catch up with Krista (well, I wanted to play house regardless if Hanna was there or not :P). It makes me speculate if I'm going to be a great dad, buuuuuttt, I don't think I'm ready for that. I do think how much fun it would be to raise a child with a significant other. The crazy stories and all.

A baby/child is great when they're not yours, they aren't attached at your hip; you can spoil them as much as possible and not have to worry about the consequences because you're not dealing with them all the time. I give Krista a lot of credit. She's been through so much and she's such a loving mom. She's very calm, cool and collective with her child. I wonder about that with children. If the parent is relaxed towards their child, will the child be just as relaxed? I see these parents that are so strict and discipline their kids so much, and the kids act out and rebel almost. Krista's not like that. Is it just Hanna's age though? I wonder.

The whole time I was there I kept thinking about the Sex and the City quote from Samantha "That babies an asshole."
Carrie: You can't call a baby an asshole!
Nothing towards Krista's baby, but we really don't realize how much we have to take full responsibility of someone, it's a big deal to have a child, Krista is a strong person. Hanna's going to grow up with a lot of experience under her belt.
