Holidays, Day Nine
misty · Sun, Dec 27, 2015Super lazy, lazy day today. Weather got cold, and we stayed indoors much of the day. Our big outing was to Walmart, and Milo fell asleep in the car on the way home, so we kept driving for just a little while so she could get some rest. Because she didn’t have great naps during the day, Milo was completely exhausted by around 7:20pm. She kept trucking until 8pm, though, and went right to sleep when we began our bedtime routine.
After Milo went to sleep, we watched Dear Zachary, which always makes me cry and cry. After watching that movie, I had an overwhelming urge to hold my baby close and breathe her in. But she was sleeping, so I settled for a hand on her back, feeling her gentle breaths move through her body. That was enough for the moment.
Notes:
Tonight, we put Milo in her new seat, which has mesh on either side of her head. Chase and I got on either side of the chair and talked, one at a time. Milo turned to look at each of us when we spoke, which is something she hasn’t really done before. It was fun.
I made Milo laugh tonight by kissing and making funny sounds near her neck. I can’t express quite how much joy I get out of hearing her laugh. It’s magical.
