Nature vs. Nurture

I always thought that if I ever had a girl she would be very much like me.
After Naddie was born and in the first year of her life I had to get used to the idea that she did not look anything like me and her developing personality reflected more of Will’s than mine. Don’t take me wrong, I think it is a great thing, but a mother would love to see some of her characteristics in her one and only first born than just NOTHING!
So I thought maybe she will be just like I was as a toddler. I was more of a tomboy than a girly girl to my mom’s enjoyment, as I am sure she always wished for the opposite.
I guess life also plays some pranks on us to have a good laugh.
Our little girl is becoming as girly as one can be.
She absolutely loves shoes! I do have to admit that I feed that a little bit by buying great little shoes on a very frequent basis.
She just loves to put them on and then show them off to whoever will pay attention.
She will put her little foot out and than move it from one side to the other like adults do when they are buying a new pair and checking them out before the big decision: “Do I really need them?”
Naddie is also obsessed with jewelry. She will make me take my watch or my bracelet off and put it on her little wrist. She is so proud when she wears them. She acts like she is very busy, busy showing it off.
She also picks her clothes out in the morning. We just need to work on the coordinating factor a little bit.
So the girly girl is changing every single day.
She also picked up some new words and sentences:
~ Doggie
~ What’s up?
~ Pizza
~ Pelenka (diaper in Hungarian)
~ Jib-Jab (she must have picked that up at day care)
~ Thank you
~ Humpty Dumpty
~ Dedi (great grant parents in Hungarian)
