Weekend, etc.
misty · Fri, Sep 11, 2015Dad is supposed to arrive this evening, though his flights are all delayed, so we’re not sure what time he’ll actually make it in. I’m looking forward to seeing him, though, and lucky for him, the heat wave seems to be over. Today is much cooler, in the 70s, and I was actually able to wear Milo for part of the day without sweating up a storm. Hopefully Dad will enjoy the weather while here.
While Mom was here, she mentioned that Milo’s cries still sounded like newborn cries and that they’ll be changing soon. Similarly, a friend of mine who has a 1-year-old mentioned that she wish she’d recorded her daughter’s baby cries because they were so sweet and she misses hearing them. So, I’ve been recording a few of Milo’s fussing and crying sessions. Nothing too long - I don’t like for her to fuss or cry very long. But here and there, I set my phone down and turn on the voice recorder. I know I’m going to miss these little whimpers, so it’ll be nice to have something to help me remember them later on.
Oh, and today is FRIDAY! That means that Chase will get home on the early side and we will have TWO WHOLE DAYS to spend together as a family! I love weekends.
Notes:
Milo lets me kiss her without fussing. In fact, sometimes it calms her when I kiss her cheeks. Now, I know that probably it only calms her temporarily because she mistakes anything that touches her cheeks for a nipple and, as such, think she’s going to be fed soon. Nonetheless, I love that she lets me kiss her.
Yesterday, Milo reached out her hand and squeezed my shushing lips tightly. Now, I know that she has little to no control over her hands or arms right now, so the fact that she a) found my lips with her hand, and b) was able to grab them and squeeze was almost certainly an accident. But it made me laugh heartily. It was a belly-shaking laugh, which are too seldom these days.
