Sleepy Friday

Okay, I wanted the title to rhyme with "Freaky Friday" (mostly because I love that movie), but "Sleepy Friday" is as good as I could do. However, I have some perfect sleepy-ish pics of Veronica to illustrate the point!



Too good, right? They set this little rocker up in the front yard, so she can be outside and getting her earth-girl on, but still protected from the sun. (By the way, I re-read that as "set this little rocker up" like Veronica is the little rocker, which is rather apt when you think of her mama... also, I can see a lot of Amanda in her little face above!)



As you can see here, with Veronica being so wee and perfect and the rocker being so low, the foliage at her eyeline probably appears to her like she's in a jungle! Or maybe that's just me; I kind of like the idea of her thinking the world in her direct vicinity is exotic and all encompassing...



Kathleen told us when she was first born (and not just V but all babies have this), her eyesight was pretty much the exact distance from her face to boobs when feeding. It's been fun watching her respond to visual stimuli that's a little further away (visual stimuli?! I sound like the Science Guy but without the qualifications!)... anyway, now when you hold her on your knees it seems like she's looking at you, and unless your knees are reeeeeeaaallly tall, than it means she's seeing more than a boob's length.



Don't you just look at her and want to scoop her up? I know, I know. I'm like Godzilla and Veronica is this tiny version of Tokyo, I just invade her peaceful moments, pick her up and smoosh her with monster-like kisses.



Monster kisses, monster kisses! Come on, right?! My apologies to Baby V (and my girl Amanda and the rest of Team Gore), as I've been overcome with sniffles and therefore keeping my distance this week... which sucks. I hope to terrorize you all again soon!
