One of the most amazing things about little babies is their person-ality. I've been organising some of our photos, and Ellie's personality just shines through. I think, though I can't be sure, that this is something that's really only apparent to people who're close to the child. Other people's babies are annoying, or boring, but every small change in our baby is indicative of a rich inner life. She seems much more like a little person who can't talk than a baby-blob, and she always has.
