will she be like us?

I wonder what Plava will be like as she gets older. I wonder what kind of character she'll have - what kind of personality - what kind of sense of humour. It's funny to think of the possibility of her resembling Ryan and I in some of those things. Before she was born it was all about what she'd look like. Who's eyes and nose and mouth would she have? Well, she's got my fingers, Ryan's toes, my nose, a good combination of Ryan's and both Grandma's mouths, and the postman's eyes. Haha.

I remember hoping that she'd have all the attractive attributes from each of us, and none of the ugly ones. Hah!

But I do wonder whether she'll be much like her parents. Ryan and I are really wacky together. I mean, maybe everyone is. That's the big question we continually ask ourselves. Are most couples so weird when they're alone together? Do most couples have spontaneous air band competitions, dance offs, and talk in dorky voices when no one else is looking? I think that there must be a hidden side to every couple, one that only comes out in secret, but I suppose couples must vary in degree of strangeness. At least we all have a good time, right?

Hmm, but will Plava join us in our dancing? Will she pipe in with her own harmony to a cheesy love-song we hear on the radio? Will she, gasp, even surpass our level of wackiness? It's hard to imagine, until she does her little spazzy jumps in her excersaucer; and instead of kissing my cheek, bites it and laughs; and can't stay still but squeals with glee when the wind is in her face.

She's a mystery - always. But I LOVE LOVE LOVE watching her get older and grow into a little person that's capable of doing more and more every day. I can't wait to see who she'll turn out to be, and I can't wait to see how we'll all fit together as a family.
