Poor Vivian

Vivian is just delightful. She's just incredibly chill, which is a good thing since she's a second child, and I can't be everywhere at once. She spends lots of time sleeping, since she's still so little, but a lot of her other time is spent in the bouncer or on a blanket doing tummy time or just hanging out smiling. She also has a cry that, I don't know how to say it, just isn't that bad. It's the equivalent of, "hey Mom, wanna come over here for a minute, please?" (Note: this doesn't include when she's actually incredibly hungry which flips like a switch. She'll be smiling one minute, and the next she's losing her mind)

Anyway, she doesn't seem to mind tummy time and has pretty good head control by now. She's had one or two flips from belly to back, but I think they were flukes. She does seems to do some scooting though. I wouldn't call it crawling, because that's ridiculous, but I don't remember Nathan getting actual movement out of tummy time! See video:



Today, Nathan and I were weeding a little in the backyard and Brian was doing something with the hose. Vivian was sleeping in her usual nest and woke up. Brian heard her, brought her out, but wanted to get a quick something done. I looked over and he was literally putting her in the middle of the grass saying, this is how chill this girl is.  She seriously, didn't make a peep other than to coo a little bit. It's just not natural.


All of this isn't to say that she doesn't have her moments, she's a baby after all, but still, she's pretty darn easy to have around most of the time.
