What will she turn out like...?
If you let her do it as an infant will that make her more or less inclined to do it as a teenager...and is Pink hair going to be cool when she's a teenager. I don't know the answer to either of those questions, but I do know that this little item that my hubby got for me/the baby for Christmas from www.babytoupee.com is really darn cute and makes for great pictures!!

Loving her rattle...

I've been wondering if Eowyn was ever going to like toys. I mean, I figured eventually, but so far all she's ever cared about is her hands. Recently she found her feet, and now she has decided she likes this rattle. Her "great aunt" Ann (my dad's sister) made this very cool diaper cake for her just before she was born and this rattle was one of the things she decorated it with. Eowyn used the diapers with glee, but would not play with the toys...hehehe...until now. Thank you Ann, she loves this thing!

Will they have a book to make her feel normal?
I was reading a post on a forum I go to from time to time. They were talking about how the new statistic for births in the US is that 4 out of 10 babies are born to parents who are not married to each other. That is an all time high.
That got me thinking about how many times, when an unconventional lifestyle starts to gain popularity, childrens books come out about the topic to make kids feel more "normal". This led me to ponder; how many kids in the US are not only born to married parents, but the mom and dad of said child, both have intact birth parents? Making this child only have one set of parents and only two sets of grandparents...no steps. Eowyn, actually has intact couples as far back as anyone alive can recall... I think by the time she's of school age, she may need a book...
