This is Jasper and my first week together now that Samara has returned to work. I think the transition was harder on Samara than either of us; she misses her baby boy. She showed tremendous strength this week while readjusting to the cold Darwinian world of the corporate librarian, after having spent the last four months nurturing her child.
I've been enjoying my time with Jasper immensely. I am becoming more aware of the subtleties of his personality and how to keep him engaged and content as we move through the day together. I am now comfortable with his feeding and napping routine. In between, we take walks with Ruby, play with one of his toys on a blanket in the house or yard, sit on the grass so he can pull at it like clumps of hair, or just walk around making sounds and looking at things. One of his favorite things to look at is a small glass lamp, and he will often smile when he sees it. He also loves his bouncy saucer, the kind with things he can turn, tumble or squeak arranged around it.
