How long does it take to fall in love?

Six weeks. It takes exactly six weeks for a baby to fall in love. I have been here for six weeks now, and seen Little J's affections grow and blossom towards me. He was always fairly comfortable around me. But then things started to get serious. He gently head butts me as I lean towards him to get him out of his cot after nap time. He gives me eskimo nose-kisses when we snuggle at the high chair. He gave me a love-bite on my shoulder after bath time, when he was all swaddled in his towel. He shared his banana with me on Friday. I tore off pieces to give to him to hold, he would take a mouthful, then put it at my mouth for me to also have a mouthful. And thus we shared two bananas together. But here's how I know for sure. For the first time, when I was leaving the house in the evening, he wanted to leave his dad's arms and come with me instead. xo
