Chatty Cathy


Loud.  Talkative.  Enjoys meeting new people.

These are not things that describe me.

Sarah, on the other hand, seems to be trying to take the title of World's Loudest Baby away from my sister. Her initial cry on waking up can be heard anywhere in the house. I also swear that she makes her sneezes extra loud just because she likes the sound. Matthew thinks she doesn't do it intentionally and just has super loud sneezes.

Last week she discovered that she loves to "talk" as loud as she can while grocery shopping. I think she likes the echo. At Costco we were at the picnic tables, resting, and I was having a snack. Honestly, it'd been a rough day and since she wasn't crying, I wasn't trying to quiet her in any way.  She was just babbling away, so loud that people at the check out lines were looking and laughing. She did the same thing all the way through Whole Foods three days later.

This brings me to the "enjoys meeting new people" attribute. Every time I go anywhere these days, I have to talk to far more people than is necessary to complete my errand. "Oh, she's so adorable!" "How old?" "She's quite the little talker!"  In the time it took to me to put on her coat the last time we were at Costco, two middle aged men, shopping alone, came up to me to tell me how beautiful she was.  I think we're going to be in for some trouble in the future with this little heart breaker.
