Miscellaneous

Some miscellaneous additions for the week (as well as some Flip Clips)… First, Haley usually falls asleep with her binky and spits it out at some point. Sometimes it gets stuck in her swaddle blanket and rests on her nose. How does she sleep like this?

On Jim’s work days, he gets up around noon and has breakfast while the rest of us have lunch. Then he gets some quality time with both kids before their naps.

Haley is starting to enjoy her playmat. I had to break out pictures of when JT was a baby to remember how to assemble it, and finally got it to work.

She also just started to notice her mobile. I love her dangling flowers and I was so excited to see her notice them. Her eyes got really wide and she just stared for a long time.

Since she has begun to show interest in toys and movement, I started dangling a scrunchy colorful ball next to her diaper changing pad. She kicks it often and is starting to bat at it. Fun stuff.

JT still asks frequently one of three things: “smooch baby sister,” “hug baby sister,” or “hold baby sister.” This is a long clip, but I couldn’t cut it down. Here he asked to hold her in the rocking chair. At one point he does a little squeeze that looks like a wrestling move, but Haley doesn’t seem to mind and the rest is very sweet. 🙂

And finally (a good morning for flip clips – this was all filmed in a span of about twenty minutes), I caught JT reading his Opposites book. He gets most of the pages correct, from memory of course.
