On Monday, my co-workers wife stopped by with their baby for lunch. We ate outside at one of the picnic tables and their little one was having a great day. She ate some puffs, showed off her 4 teeth with lots of smiles, and rough-housed with her daddy. We had to go back to work far too soon, but it was a nice visit.
I got a surprise later in the day when my sister called and said they would be in town on their way back from a camping trip. I left work a little early and they spent a little time at my apartment before they had to get back on the road. My niece is in full explorer mode and once she got over a little shyness, she was pushing a toy car around and gathering coasters. She’s got squeekers in her shoes – it made the running around extra adorable. Not that I’m biased or anything. It was good seeing my sister and brother-in-law too and I wished they could have stayed longer or had dinner with my room-mate and I – but they still had a 3 hour drive to go.
So, it was a good day for babies. I needed it too – work has been a steady stream of disasters since I got back. I’m hoping our meeting gets canceled today so I can get a little further along in my futile attempt to get caught up.s
