Aaah. Saturday.
We wheeled Margaret to the park today with grand plans to try her out on the swings.
We're not sure what we were thinking. One look at even the baby swings served to inform us that safe swinging would be at least another month or two away.
Regardless, however, it was a beautiful, sunny day, reminiscent of early spring days in Central Park. The grownups enjoyed just being out and about.
Margaret, of course, didn't care. She was falling asleep in her stroller.
SAM and I had a good laugh on the way over. In her stroller, Margaret seemed to have a death grip on the frame while I was pushing her along. SAM commented that this was like how she always has to hang on to the door handle on the car while I'm driving.
I had to pretend not to be amused, but in all honesty, it was pretty funny to see. not even four months old and she's already afraid of daddy's driving.
Smart girl.
After the park, it was feeding and bath time which is when these photos were taken.
I can't even begin to explain how much fun feeding/bath time is for us as a family. We all hang out on the bed while Margaret feeds on one side. Then, I give Margaret a bath while SAM hangs out with us. After she's clean and dressed, Margaret feeds from SAM's other side while I sit with them on the bed. It's honestly the best way to spend an hour I could possibly imagine.
In fact, Margaret seemed to enjoy it so much that she unleashed the first actual confirmed laughs that her mother and I have heard out of her. I was kissing and nuzzling her tummy right before her bath when we were startled by peals of baby laughter. There may be no sweeter sound.
Of course, attempts to make her recreate the sound were met by silent, determined fist sucking.
We can only hope it becomes more frequent.
