My new niece Caitlyn Rose is a very pretty baby. She will have chubby toddler cheeks which fade back into high cheekbones and a delicate pointed chin. She has her fathers ears and her mother's hair.
She is a quiet baby (so far) and I was present for her first whinge.
I declined the offer to hold her.
She is too little.
Do you know I refuse point blank to hold babies? I find it just too much responsibility...plus I hold them like a bomb threat...
ReplyDeleteand quite rightly too - they could go off any moment - in any direction - i was witness to an exposive poo that spouted out the but crack of one nephew and heard tale of the vomit in the mouth - being close to babies is dangerous
ReplyDeletebesides ... though offered I wasn't entirely sure father of said baby would actually part with it - it was so sweet
ReplyDeletei like to imagine that Miles is like the character played by whatsisface in About A Boy.
ReplyDeletei love that film.
congratulations on becoming an auntie again!
by golly - if Miles/Michael was anything like Hugh Grant it is quite possible I would fly forthwith to Tasmania and tackel him in the street.
