am i not a happy baby?

recently i was msn-ing with a childhood friend and she casually mentioned that most of chloe's blog photos doesn't really depict her as a happy baby - some with serious or gloomy looking faces. i mentioned this to GJ and he said it was my fault for putting up all those 'serious and not smiley enough' photos of her, thus the impression of an unhappy child... bleh, my fault again...

anyway, i must say that my mon cherie does seems like a "deep thinker" type. there were quite a few occasions where i caught her sitting quietly either on my bed or in her rocker and just looking out the window, sort of like 'admiring' the scenery outside - which mostly are the lush branches of leaves; bright sunny sky and occassionally the birds flying by. she will just stare quietly... until she notices that i'm near her and then re-focusing her attention to me.

i don't know if there's any connection on how my behaviour during pregnancy indirectly affects the baby's behaviour... afterall, it's a long nine months of experiencing first hand all of my physical and emotional behaviour. was i not a happy pregnant woman back then? i really can't say i was not... but there are ups and downs in all pregnancy, i'm sure...

then again, she's also a rather moody child... and she will gladly let me or her daddy know if the way we do things with her is to her liking (or not!) by 'crying' or 'screaming' her way... it's like baby tantrum... a new side of her which i'm experiencing this week.

and there are times too when she's just so lovable that the slightest little gesture or prompting from her favourite playmate a.k.a daddy will make her giggle and laugh...

how can we not love this notti tantrum throwing little baby...
