Ham

We were talking with friends about how we would describe our babies' personalities. I said K was playful and curious. JW added, "He's a ham."

K has discovered that cocking his head makes strangers coo and do it back to him. He now does this to everyone he meets. I have also seen him do it to (1) himself in the mirror and (2) the radio. My theory is that we listen to NPR a fair amount and he thinks there are people in there.

Over Thanksgiving I got together with some high school friends I hadn't seen in a while. Other than one friend's boyfriend, who made faces at K, the rest acknowledged his presence and moved on. I think it was the first time K has ever been in a room where no one was making a fuss over him. He was confused, I could tell. He kept smiling at them and cocking his head and crawling around and looking over his shoulder at them. He was trying hard to work the room.

It's unlikely to happen again any time soon, given that our vacation plans all involve family gatherings, but it's probably good for him.
