We started yesterday off with a little stint in the bouncer.  It was such a beautiful morning, and the light was coming in through the windows.  I thought Selah June could use some good views for her morning hour of alertness.

She saw the birds flying overhead and made all kinds of faces.  While they don’t keep her attention for very long, she is showing signs of interest in objects other than boobs and bottles.  Her parents are proud.

Grammy and Selah June had some good play time together.  Lots of milk and naps…  She came home with surprise socks inside her onesie.  But is anybody really surprised?  The baby whisperer won’t let a baby within 50 feet of her without a pair of socks on.  They’re part of the magic formula.

In the afternoon, Mom and Aunt Jess spent time crafting (SAY WHAT???!!!!), and Satie Isabella had some great Selah June snuggles.  She held her like a big girl.  And she asked that I take their picture together.  Here’s the result.  What do you think Selah June thinks of the experience?

Can you imagine this beautiful little face causing extreme parental anxiety and exhaustion?  Selah June is in her peak fussy week — week 6.  We are struggling to comfort her through the witching hour, and today has been a full on witching day.  About the only thing that she seems to enjoy is a car ride…  But only if it’s in constant motion.  Jeremy took her out for a ride around noon to calm her down.  On the way to pay the water bill, he got behind a train.  She was NOT happy!

we’re currently on the second car ride adventure of the day, and there’s sure to be a third sometime tonight.  Well all get through this phase…  Hopefully without having to buy stock in oil and gas.
