She hasn't been diagnosed by a professional, but I think I'm just about as good. This baby girl of mine is as close to having A.D.D. as a child can get,(in my opinion).
Audrey is a busy body. When she learns to crawl or walk watch out mommy. Her legs and hands are constantly going. When you feed the child, you can tell she just can't even relax her mind for 2 seconds. Her hands are strumming my hair/shirt/burp cloth or they are slamming down on the bottle, not holding the bottle. When I put her hands on the bottle for her to try and hold it, it's like watching a magnet when you put the wrong ends together or like she has just been burnt by the bottle. She can't get them away quick enough. The head is moving from one sound to the next continually dropping the bottle out of her mouth only to have milk run everywhere. Speaking of of her head, the head is where the eyes and ears are and they never shut down. She is so attentive and always has been, to every sound around her. You can tell she is really studying what is going on and truly doesn't want to miss a thing. If you start talking while feeding her, she drops that bottle shoots up to sitting position as if she knows it would be rude to not make eye contact with you, even though your not even talking to her or like she understands for that matter. This trait makes for fun feedings. (sarcasm). I tell Bryce constantly that this child makes me feel like I don't know how to hold a child because she moves around so much.
The legs are the funniest to me. She will have them both bent with one of them forming a triangle on top of the other knee while tapping her toe down on the knee over and over and over. She is doing this constantly.
We love our little busy body A.D.D. girl, but she is a wiggly worm!
