Loud Noises and Big Crowds

As Kailyn gets older she is starting to realize the difference between people she knows and people she doesn't. Like most babies, it can take a little while for her to warm up to strangers now and she gets overwhelmed when there is a lot of noise and people.

At a couple of functions we recently attended, Kailyn had a little crying episode that was completely out of character from her usual sunny disposition. In both cases, I think she was 'hangry' (so hungry that she was angry) but I'm sure the big crowd of strangers rolling up on her and wanting to hold her didn't help matters. In both cases she got better, and ended up her smiley self, but it was odd for Helen and me to see our baby so freaked out.

I joke that K is scared of crowds for the same reason that I was when I was a TV reporter doing live shots from the field - we both don't want anyone to mess up our hair!
