Over the last few weeks we have seen Leia grow and become more comfortable with her new family. She seems very attached to Nina and I and I cannot help but feel so attached to her. Every day she shows me something new about herself. Gratefully she loves our attention.
My favorite time with her during the day is play time and nap time. When we play we are together on the carpet chasing each other around the house. We play sort of a hide and go seek tag game. She will crawl a way from me for a few feet and then look back with a devilish smile. I will stare at her for a few seconds still as rock. Then quickly I bounce up and crawl after her. This sends Leia into a fit of laughter as I chase her around the table on all fours. Other times I will hide behind an object like her crib and just peer at her with my eyes before disappearing behind the corner. She will quickly giggle and begin to follow me. Sometimes she will see through my plan and do a U-turn to cut me off at the pass. What fun!!!
Nap time is great because we just sit in the rocking chair while she lies on my stomach. I will sing to her the Intsy Wintsy spider song and an old Scottish ballad. As she drifts off to sleep I will hum the tune and then slowly stop. Either I will fall asleep with her or I will plop her into the crib.
Lately we have been going to the pool. She is a real water baby. I cannot wait until she learns how to swim and we can do some snorkeling.
Below are some videos from today's event.
