The only thing that is not so cool about meeting moms that have babies close in age to your own is that it can quickly become a game to see who's baby is the smartest/fastest/most interactive. I really don't think it's just my imagination.
A few days ago I met a mom who has an eight month old baby as well. Once we started talking she was quick to tell me all the amazing things her baby was doing. Here is how the conversation went...
Other lady: "So it looks like our babies are the same age. Is he crawling yet?"
Me: "Almost, but not yet."
Other lady: "Really?! My girl is crawling all over the place!" "How about dada? Is he saying dada yet?"
Me: "Kind of....."
Other lady: Looks down at her little girl and says "we say dada ALL the time, dont we sweetie."
Me: "That's nice, she's very cute." Followed by me slowly walking away.
So.....Ive decided I have a love/hate relationship with healthy growth indicators. They are great for measuring developmental milestones, but not so sweet when used for one-upping the other mommy. Though I might think my baby is the coolest kid around, I hope I can always remember I'm the only one who thinks that way :)
