It would be wrong to go on and on about my social butterfly without introducing you all to Dia's first little friend: Dax!Aren't they adorable?! (You can see my shy child attempt to steal Dax's treat!)
We met Dax and his mom, Chrissy, a few weeks back at a La Leche League meeting we attended. There were actually a lot of great moms with babies right around Dia's age there so we've been planning playgroups and finding lots of fun ways to socialize--both for their sake and ours! If I haven't already encouraged you to attend a LLL meeting, let me just say that as a breastfeeding mom these days I can't tell you how wonderfully supportive it is to be in an entire community of like-minded moms.
So for now, DD and Dax are enjoying growing their friendship by poking at each other's face, stealing each other's toy/treat and more or less, just being babies. And I think one of the major pushes to Dia crawling came from watching this "older boy."
It's also given me added insight to my daughter's make-up: A few days ago, Dax was crying and I wish I could have caught Dia's reaction on film. She instantly dropped what she was doing, got over to him asap with a huge smile on her face and literally tried to make him happy! I couldn't believe what I was seeing, but other moms noticed it, too and even commented on how she was trying to make him "better." Seeing DD in company like this is a whole new window into seeing who she is--and she's simply wonderful.
Last time we met up at the park I finally had my camera out. You'll have to forgive the poor camera work, but here is Dia's newest friend Dax:
Aren't they cute?!
