I don't like kids. I never plan on having them. I'm nice to the kids my friends have, but I'm not around them a lot. I was also the youngest kid in my family. However, my niece is nearing the nine month mark and I like her alright. I get to see her about once a week, sometimes less. I know the major milestones that people are excited about (first words, crawling, walking), but what are the little things about kids growing up that are fun to see?
It can be examples that are super specific that might not pop up very often, I'm just curious. For example, I babysat her around the five month mark and got to witness her trying to mimic my words. I was really into jazz at the time and she needed a nap so I was quietly scatting to her and she freaking loved it and tried to scat right along with me in her own way. Or the other week when I saw her I grabbed one of her favorite stuffed animals and was trying to make it "talk" to her but she saw right through it and gave me a weird "what the heck are you doing?" look.
