Heh.

I was sitting here at my desk, trying to “work,” while letting the Bug do whatever she wants around my mostly childproofed office. She was happily playing by herself at the other side of the room, and I got buried in my work. After a few minutes, I startled to feel something against my foot.

The Bug had crawled cutely over to me and was playing with my shoe.

Oh, the cuteness.

I wish I had my camera

The Bug today has enjoyed standing and babbling at my window. Very cute. She must’ve stood there for fifteen minutes this morning, just babbling at the window and the occasional passing car.

I’ve got you!

It’s a real bummer that I’m sick right now, and not just because I’ve been sick for more than a week now (bleh).

One of my brothers lives in the splendid state that is Mississippi, so I rarely get to see him or his clan. But this week, my sis-in-law brought the two young’ins up to Knoxville.

I can’t express how cool it is to get to see them, I’m afraid I’m scaring the cuteness that is Harper (scroll down). She runs up to me and squeals, in the way only a not-quite-two-year-old can, “I got you!!!”

I try to croak out a “no, I’ve got you!” but I’m afraid that might seem like a bad thing. I’ve so far refrained from picking her up, for the same reason.

I’m afraid of scarring the poor child.

Now with shorter naps!

Until a few weeks ago, I could reliably get C to take a good three to four hour nap at work. Now? not so much. While we were able to get her to sleep yesterday for maybe two hours, I can tell that today will be filled with short naps at best. I got C in her swing about thirty minutes ago, and all appearances said “long nap.” But now she is awake and cooing.

Granted, that’s pretty dern cute.

Babies and television

Ok, I know kids aren’t supposed to watch television for the first few years of their lives, but it’s super cute to see C in her excersaucer (”Bounce Bounce Baby,” actually) with her eyes glued to a good Christmas movie.
