Daddy’s Girl – Already Getting Spoiled
Posted by Shaun on Saturday Nov 1, 2008 Under InfancyOkay, I admit it. Before Lucy was born I really thought all newborns (up until 6 months) were the same – they input (milk), output (poo), and process (sleep) but nothing else. I was wrong, very wrong.
Lucy is now six weeks old and while most of her day is spent as listed above, we get a few hours of actual interaction time every day. This usually consists of patty-cake, dancing (looks like sweatin to the oldies), stretching her limbs, and checking herself out in the mirror (seriously…).
To help promote self-learning, I thought it would be a good idea to buy Lucy a play gym! I got kind of carried away and ended up with the Lamborghini Diablo of “Activity Play Sets” – this thing squeaks, plays music, lights up, shakes, etc… I hope it doesn’t feel like we’re putting her on a different planet!! Although, she seems to EXTREMELY enjoy spending time in her play set and is actually able to swat – and make contact with – the items hanging down. We’re still interacting with her just as much, only now she gets to play while we do chores that would otherwise require her to be in a crib/swing/etc…
We’re not very into toys so maybe this will hold us over until her first mountain bike? Yeah…right!

Shaun, I hope you know how much I LOVE you! You are a wonderful
husband to my daughter and now you are a terrific Daddy to my
Granddaughter. When I count my blessings, I count you twice.
Oh, I almost forgot, you told me I can come visit whenever I
want! 🙂
