Strange Obsession

I hear many kids acquire a comfort item when they are young.

 Often times it's a pacifier, a favorite blanket or stuffed animal. 

It's a common thing.

Seeing as Bridget is my first born I am not entirely sure if her comfort item is, well, normal. 

Bridget loves elbows. 

Yes, I am serious, elbows.

More specifically she is fascinated with the elbow skin.

(If you are more familiar with the term "wieness" that would be the spot.) 

She loves it. 

 She will do whatever it takes to pinch an elbow. all. the. time.

Sometimes she even "double fists it" with both of her pudgy little hands grabbing an elbow each.

It almost feels like she may be addicted. She will be playing and out of nowhere will high tail it over to the nearest person to get her fix.

I am interested to know, does/did your babies have any corky characteristics or weird comfort items? 

Because of course it's not just my kid, right?

10 months

I remember when you were brand new, 5 weeks old, we went to visit your auntie and cousins. I changed a diaper of one of your cousins. I could not believe how off it felt holding his ankles high in the air as his legs felt like they kept going forever. It threw me for a loop, I was used to your froggy legs that weighed a few ounces each. I could not fathom you ever being big enough like that.

But now you are. 

Already. 

I think it might make me sad if you weren't so awesome. 

It's funny because every day feels the same with you, then I realize what you have learned or how much you have grown in just a few days or weeks it literally blows my mind.

It's amazing to me how you can do new things like it's no big deal. 

You act as though it is something you mastered long ago, but you are just letting me in on it. Oh yeah, that? Of course I can do that. See?

You have a some hilarious sass. Sometimes I feel like you are teasing me.

I have a feeling you will be talking long before you walk, mostly because you mimic the words and sounds that your daddy and I make on a regular basis. I am serious you usually sound spot on, then daddy and I look at each other amazed and you go on like whatev, no big deal. Of course I can say that and know what it means.

Me thinking you'll talk before you walk has nothing to do with the fact that at 10 months old this is how you crawl:
