Are we really that evolved?

All dressed up for the rehearsal dinner

I'm always intrigued by peoples reactions to Courtney. They seem to fall into three different camps. 1) Those that could care less, 2) Those that are interested and could care but aren't going to embarrass themselves and 3) Those that LOVE babies and want to gush all over them and generally make fools of themselves. It's those in the 3rd camp that crack me up and I have to admit, I'm a member of.

Friday night we went to our dear friends Steven and Tiffany's wedding. Courtney was invited and while certainly not the center of attention, she received quite a bit of her own. She was dressed in a beautiful dress that was made by the brides mother and she looked quite adorable. I certainly wanted to eat her up and nom nom nom all over those chubby thighs.


What I love though is how grown adults of all ages would come up to us, open their mouths so wide, to the point where Courtney could see down into their kidneys, and make funny faces and noises at her. All to get her to smile and laugh at them. And I will admit, 9 times out of 10, it works. She'll see your kidneys and general goofiness and give you this big huge smile and maybe even laugh and you'll find yourself being even more ridiculous in an effort to get her do it again. And on and on it goes. You make this silly face, she smiles, you make some crazy noise, she laughs and you continue in this vain until she decides that you're just kind of weird and she'd rather be sucking on her shoe.

Yummmm, shoe.
