Jim’s grandmother got the girls bouncy seats, and although they aren’t able to take full advantage of its diversions, I’m able to take full advantage of a few more minutes of peace! Susanna has been alert after feedings lately, and I’m grateful for a way to entertain her that doesn’t involve both my arms and all my attention. Well, “entertaining” her may be a stretch, developmentally-speaking, at this point. I’m just happy that she’s content to intently observe her surroundings. I can’t wait for them to engage with their surroundings – I’m still awaiting that first voluntary smile! Right now, their smiles break across their faces as they drift off into sleep, as if they’re having wonderfully fantastic dreams. Oh, for the blissful sleep of childhood!
What darling chairs and such angelic faces to fill them with 🙂
