My daughter is nine months old. It's really getting interesting to watch how her little personality is asserting itself. I've always thought babies were cute and all, but never really interacted with them beyond occasionally holding the babies of family or friends. I knew there was a lot I didn't know about babies, but it's just amazing what raising Lila so far has taught me.
So, recently, Lila has started to notice cellphones, remote controls, and other such small devices. She has also started to take an interest in reaching for the keyboard or mouse since I spend so much time on the computer between school work, playing games, and surfing the net. She is particularly fascinated with the cellphones and remote controls. She actually gets mad if you are using them, and won't let her have them when she reaches for them.
The other day, I had Lila sitting on a blanket on the floor. I was chilling in front of the TV after classes, but not really watching it. Lila wanted the remote for the cable box, so I let her play with it. I just switched it to one of the auxiliary modes thinking she would be unlikely to change channels, volume, or anything on me.
At one point, I went to the kitchen to get a drink. My wife was cooking supper and talking to her mother on the phone, so I joined the conversation while I fixed my drink. Lila was content with the remote, so I didn't worry about her fussing because I stepped out of the room. Lila sometimes gets fussy if we so much as step out of sight for a moment.
I returned to the living room a few moments later to find the channel had been changed. Should have expected that. Then, I realized what channel she was on, and about died laughing -- adult pay-per-view. Of all channels she could have randomly chosen, she ends up on adult pay-per-view. Of course, there was no actual content because you have to go through a series of options to watch pay-per-view channels, but I still died laughing. At nine months old, my daughter is already becoming a shameless little hussy, as my mother would say. Everyone I've shared this story with so far has gotten a big laugh out of it.
I love finally being able to tell funny stories about my daughter since everyone I know who has kids is always telling funny stories about their kids.

Nice...you're going to have to watch her when she gets older, or you'll be one of those people calling the cable company going "But I didn't order 6 porn movies! I was out of town!" "...did you have any teenage children home?" 
He's only a year and a half, but he's turning into a PLAYA apparently.
