My desk is right next to Mio’s crib, and sometimes when I’m hard-pressed to get some work done and can’t give Mio 100% of my attention, I’ll put her in the crib with some toys so that she doesn’t get into any mischief. Now that she’s able to pull herself up everywhere, she’ll stand up against the side of the crib that is next to my desk, and quietly stare at me for as long as she can keep herself standing up. It’s cutest thing, but so distracting! It’s not long before I find myself saying, “Fiiiiine, I’ll play with you” and swoop her up in my arms.

Resting her chubbiness on the rail.
It tickles me when she rests her chubby cheeks and chin on the rail.

 

Oh Mio, I love you and couldn’t ignore you if I tried….
