Arabian nights, like the Arabian days...

In as much as I would love for Rawly to only have eyes for me, he's met his first fling--a cute little German girl! She's three months his elder, but about the same size. Her motor skills are more refined than his, and she has two little teeth poking out--I think that's what did it for him. For her, it was his red hat--her dad sang "Rawly in red is dancing with me..." in his German accent. She's quite proactive too, during their first meeting she reached right out and grabbed his hand and wouldn't let go! On their second encounter he got up the nerves to touch her leg and she swatted him away like she was saying, "As if!" (At least that how the moms interpreted it.) Last night there was live music at dinner and the two of them looked like they really enjoyed dancing as their little squeals of delight filled the night air.It's been fun to see them interact (probably more so for us parents,) she's the first baby that he's touched or communicated with. When we get back we'll have to do a better job at fulfilling his social needs and finding him "play dates."
