When Baby was younger she and all the other babies would lie on blankets, while us mummy’s drank tea and chatted. Their interaction with each other was limited. As they grew older, they started to take a little more notice of each other. I’m not sure that there was too much recognition, may be a passing familiarity. Baby is now one and things have definitely changed, proper friendships have begun to develop.
She has two close friends TB and D and I love watching her interact with them. There is recognition, there is friendship, there is love.
Over recent weeks Baby and her little friends have started conversing more than before. Chatting away to each other in their unique language. A few days ago at TB’s house I just sat quietly and watched them play. It was so sweet, Baby went to pick up TB’s doll and TB said something to her. Whatever it was, it was enough to make Baby hand her the doll straight away. Then they sat together, Baby took all the wooden biscuits out of the box and handed each one in turn to TB. It is so lovely to see these interactions, the sharing, the consideration. They are developing their personalities every day and I love that they seem to have the start of genuine friendships.
I can’t imagine what it would feel like to have friends that remain your friends through your whole life. I think it would be magical. These three friends have all known each other since they were about three months old. I wonder what the future has in store for them.

What a lovely post. It would be fab if they could stay friends until they were adults and look back on memories like this when they are older.
Author
I would love that, they would have such special memories x
That is amazing Aby. I have a friend that I met the week I was born and we are best friends still to this day. She has been in my wedding as maid of honor and we even had our baby girls on the same EXACT day. She is godmother to my kids and it’s an amazing feeling to have this bond for my whole life and I know we will be like this forever, close as family. I hope your little one has that too. Lovely pictures. It’s great to find a group when the kids are little for them to grow and bond with. I was lucky with Buba to do the same and now their mothers have had second babies too so Missy Moo has her own group of friends. I love watching the kiddies bonding so young. It’s bittersweet. What a lovely post. #magicmoments
Author
Thank you hun. That is so lovely that you have that bond with your friend. I hope these three stay close, even though they may end up in different schools x
Isn’t it lovely watching them start to develop their own independent relationships with other children! My 17 year old is still friends with the two babies she grew up with!
Author
It is beautiful and fascinating x
i would love to watch our little one “making friends”
Author
It is lovely x
Just lovely! When my boy was a baby I didn’t know anyone else with babies and missed out on this sort of social interaction with other mums. x
Author
Thanks hun. Oh that must have been really difficult x
Aww that’s so very cute and sweet.You have a sweet natured child.
Author
Thank you x
That is very sweet – I hope they are all friends forever.
Author
Thanks, me too x
Oh, that’s lovely, babies aren’t generally “social” creatures, yours must be so geared naturally and will probably love company all her life.
Author
She is SO social, she would happily go and sit with strangers and is obsessed by watching other kids when we are out and about x
Oh, I do hope they stay friends. I have one friend that I have known since we were five, that’s survived the years 🙂 #WhatstheStory

That must be lovely x
Absolutely adorable. Hope they remain firm friends.

Aaaw that’s lovely. My two had several close friends when they were young but they don’t really see them too much now which is a shame x x
Author

My toddler also has some close friends her age and it is so fun to watch how they interact with each other!
Author

Arrrr that is so cute! We don’t really have a close network of friends and live out in the sticks but Joseph has his school friends and neighbours and well the twins have each other xx
Author
🙂 It is so lovely that the twins will always have each other xx
Aw this is lovely, what a lucky Baby! Mads has a group of friends we have been meeting up with since they were days old. It is lovely to watch them grow up together. x
Author
Yes I can’t wait to see how their friendship will develop x
Awww, they look like they’re having so much fun.
Author
They always do 🙂 x
Isn’t it lovely when they actually start interacting! And I can confirm that it gets even cuter when they get to three or four and actually start hugging each other too!! I really hope mine hold on to their childhood friendships. I know my oldest friend is someone I’ve known since I was two! #magicmoments
Author
Baby does that now, she will hug and kiss her friends, so cute x
The beautiful, non-judgemental friendships our little ones make really does touch your heart doesn’t it? It’s also lovely when us parents gel too 🙂

My eldest son is 12 and is still friends with a boy whose Mum I met at antenatal classes, despite the fact we now live in different countries. My oldest friend also goes back to when I was a week old, the lady (then aged just 15) who would look after me when Mum was working. I always call her my other Mum!

Ah that must be lovely x

Like you say, it’s so lovely to see friendships blossom at such an early age. I still have friends who I went to school with and although we no longer live near to each other, whenever we meet up it’s like it always was – so comfortable and fun.
Author
That must be really lovely. I hope she keep these friends forever x
