Contentment

Bethany is such a content little person.  She’ll sit in her little bouncy seat watching me cook or fold clothes, flashing me a big smile whenever I look her way.   She rolls over pretty easily these days, and I’ve had to lay a sheet on the floor so she has more room to roll without ending up inhaling carpet fuzz.    She’s found her tongue and likes to playfully stick it out at all observers.   She’s also begun reaching for toys.  If her hand happens to brush against it, she’ll grab on for dear life, but she hasn’t quite yet mastered the skill of deliberately grasping something and bringing it to her mouth to teeth on.  She’s an avid thumb-sucker, and sometimes even prefers her thumb to nursing.
