Snooze

There's a sense of tranquility when you place a baby upon your chest and watch it slowly nod into slumber. Baby Lia hicupped and squirmed a few moments while I held her. She seemed to like jerking here leg to and fro while mouthing like a fish. This one many be an Olympic swimmer. Watch out for her in 15 years. After she wrestles into a comfortable position she likes, I watch her wides eyes start a slow struggle to remain open. She seems genuinely curious to study her surroundings, namely; my face. But her conscious time span has not been exercised fully in her four short weeks on planet Earth. Thusly, I get to watch one of the most beautiful sightings in life: a baby peacefully sleeping on top of your beating heart.
