Vivian woke up from her morning nap just as Hazel and I were really getting going with laundry folding, so she joined the party. She's usually pretty happy during the day so long as she has company, which works out pretty well for all of us.
If you look closely at this top picture (you can click on it to make it bigger) you can see Vivi is smiling at Hazel. She has a sweet crooked smile that looks a lot like Andrew's.
Vivian is generally sweet, in fact. She has started giggling, and that's pretty exciting. If you do the little piggies game with her toes, or Creep Mouse, or Bumblebee, or Grandpa Frank's nonsense word toe counting game with her at just the right moment, she has the sweetest little giggle. Creep Mouse and Bumblebee are both games we learned from Great Grammy Joanne.
She is also really getting into grabbing toys (and putting them in her mouth, of course!). This ball was Hazel's, and is perfect for this age. It's super easy to grab, and is not heavy at all. Hazel had a lesson in sharing today with this one. While I was still folding we had a chat about how Vivi is just a little baby and it's mean to take toys away from her. She clearly understood because every time I would leave the room to put a stack of clothes away, and she would follow shortly with the ball in hand, showing me that she'd taken it away. Hazel would say "take" and shake her head, and then she would go give it back to Vivian, and Vivian would just light up and smile at her. So, it's a work in progress still, but sharing is going fairly well so far.
