Small Steps

During a shower, Elena let me hold her daughter while she had to go to the bathroom. The kid is 6 months old. She still doesn't do too much although she'll grab things within her reach. At first the baby was crying. I had a fear of another Sarah situation, but after patting her, smiling and saying nice things she calmed down. Eventually Elena came back, but it felt good to know that I can keep a baby girl happy for 24 minutes. Soon I'll get to expand this to 24 hours.
