boy meets girl

At a friend’s birthday on Saturday, Cal met nose-to-nose with a sweet 10 month old girl who just two weeks before learned how to walk. Shaun supported Cal as he stood facing his new friend (he was almost exactly her height), and both babies began their detective work, reaching out hands and navigating each others’ faces. After a few seconds, the baby girl gave a Tarzan-size yelp, stretching out her vocals with euphoric glee, operatic style. Cal immediately looked puzzled and then began to cry out of fear and confusion from the sudden and acute outburst. We tried not to laugh but it was hard not to given the mixture of sweet and sad and funny. After that, we called Cal’s new girlfriend a man eater and consoled Cal regarding the turbulent matters of women and love.
