Afternoon Chats

Lily has a totally different baby experience than Weston. After she wakes up in the morning, up until lunch, she pretty much rolls with the daily activities of the aforementioned toddler. Of course, Weston and I play with her and coo at her and snuggle her, but it's not the same as the endless hours of undivided attention Weston had at this age.

But after lunch the tuckered out tot has a snooze and Lily and I have a little time to ourselves. It's our afternoon chat. Kind of like afternoon tea. Some day we will set the table up and have a little tea party, but for now it looks like this...



I put my knees up to form a comfy little chair for her and a good eye view for me. Then we chat. I tell her a lot of nonsense and she tells me all her baby thoughts....which are "goo, gloo, and ow" most of the time. I usually get a few giggles out of her which immediately give her the hiccups.

Oh Lily, you are very much a second child, but I think you'll be all the better for it. Perhaps a bit more flexible and independent. Nevertheless, I cherish our little snippets of mother-daughter time.
