We decided to take it easy today. Aoife has not been quite the same since her shots and seems to be fussy-tired all the time now. We stayed inside today, and just hung out with each other. Aoife really liked to air dry after I take her dirty diaper off. She does a funny little Elvis dance. We moved her "changing table" into her nursery. It's on top of a dresser which has a mirror attached to it. For some reason she gets a kick out of having two mommies; the one in the mirror and then one that touches her. It's pretty funny to see her confused face as she looks in the mirror and then over at me. She sometimes sees herself in the mirror and puts on a bashful smile, but for the most part ignores her other self. We also read books today. We lie down together on a pillow and I hold the book above us and read it. She likes to look at the colors of the pictures and listen to my voice. I like the stories. It's a good time to figure which books I think she'll like when she's older; there's just way too many of them. She likes her swing too but only if I sit with her. She is slowly figuring out that her best friend buddy the butterfly is not ever going to change his expression, and I think she doesn't like that quality in him. She likes it when I pull her up from with her arms when she's laying down. It makes her feel like a big girl. Aoife is really changing and it's becoming more and more exciting!
