Emma Gives Us a Crumb

Here is Inkblot's favoritest picture of her brand spankin' new niece, Emma:

Inkblot knows the whole "baby in the laundry basket" picture is a little old hat (or rather old tee shirt in this case... or old sock.) But there is something so precious about it. I think they actually hadn't set up the bassinet yet, so Emma really didn't have anywhere reasonable to sleep other than the carrier. She's grown a lot in the week and a half or so since her birth. Physically, of course. But mentally as well. She is so alert. Inkblot's and her mother went over to babysit whilst one parent went to the grocery store and the other parent took a shower and got some dinner. While there, they fed her and she kept looking around. Normally she would fall asleep after nursing, but she just yawned a bunch. And stared at her daddy. And stared at Inkblot. And stared at basically anything and everything that caught her interest. And every time she would start to drift off, she'd wake herself back up by moving her arms and legs around and making cute little noises. She was so interested and curious in what was going on around her. Inkblot was in awe. She just adores her niece. Emma finally did fall asleep, only to be woken up by her daddy when he wanted to give her butterfly kisses. Not exactly condusive to playing with a baby, dad... haha. Inkblot would like to thank Emma for falling asleep in a laundry basket, and thus giving everyone who reads this post a delightful little picture to enjoy! Much love,

Inkblot.
