Lily is a very happy, content baby ... ALL THE TIME! She just sits or lays on the floor and plays with her toys. Occasionally she watches a little TREEHOUSE when I am making meals or busy with other things. Lily has given us no sign of crawling or walking, for that matter. She is content to just watch the world from a sitting position on the floor or from the arms of a family member.
The other day, she met a little eight-month-old named Zoe. Zoe crawled circles around her and Lily just watched Zoe in amazement as if her only task was to sit quietly and be entertained. I was thinking, "Jeez, why isn't Lily crawling like that younger baby?" ... Lily was thinking, "Wow, look at that baby go, I'll just sit and watch and be entertained! Isn't this fun?!".
Lily was put into my life to keep me calm and grounded! She truly has been a blessing in our lives. She doesn't buy into the hustle and bustle life or the "Bigger the Better" attitude. I aspire to be more like her :)
I think that is great! Baby's have a way of making us look at things differently or at least a different pace.
ReplyDeleteI was just saying today to some family members "I wish I could fart and sneeze at the same time and not worry about what other people think."I said this because my granddaughter was doing just that as she sat happily on my lap farting and sneezing, come to think of it she probably peed her pants too! Now I wish I could do that without peeing my pants! nicki
