Happy, Happy Baby. Just watch where you throw that head!
Eight month old Mudpuppy is the happiest child alive. The verdict is in. This video is an example.
Earlier, Starling (that's me) went to the library with Mudpup in his car seat for a quick exchange of videos. That's an errand Jackrabbit usually does with Mudpup and Jaybird every week. A man I didn't know remarked how happy Mudpup was and said "Oh, he can't be that happy all the time, though!" To which the library assistant (whom I didn't even know) chimed in "Yes, actually, he is."
On the down side (is there a down side to this?), he was happily exercising/throwing himself back in my arms earlier, while I was sitting at the dining table, and threw himself into the table edge. Ouch. Yes, he cried, poor boy. But not too long.
Jackrabbit adds:
I get this wherever I go with him. "What a happy baby!" Truly, it is the most frequent comment we get about him. Heck, we find ourselves saying the same thing (or a variation -- "What an easy baby!") at least five times a day!

I was interested by this whole post, as one of my nephews was a particularly happy baby. Now he is a wonderful young man (who is in his fourth year of medical studies).
ReplyDeleteI know I am a stranger, but I guess this post was on my mind when I went to bed..... and I ended up dreaming about your family. I called in to visit you one day, a very busy summer's day with lots of other visitors calling in etc. You all made me very welcome, and I had great fun playing with the children. And, exactly as dreams should be, it all seemed perfectly possible. The fact that I live in the Antipodes where it is winter, across a huge ocean and in a different hemisphere- well all that stuff never entered into the dream. So thanks awfully for the warm welcome I received when I dropped by your home, completely unannounced!
Kiwi, glad we were nice to you in the dream! I'm sure we would be in real life too.... ;)
