Pod has gotten adorably aware of me looking at her or picking her up.   Its very very rewarding when she looks at me and breaks into a smile or launches into Happy Baby pose.   I know she doesn’t really know me from Beckie from any other person or from a stuffed animal, and her reaction is just a reaction.   But so is mine, so I get all happy for no good reason too.

Except its very time-consuming.   It distracts her from the goal at hand – inhaling a bottle so I can get back to whatever I was doing that was not staring at a smiling Pod.   Its cute to the mutual exclusion of her nutrition.

Since my staycation, its been very hard to get back onto a pod-pace.   I feel like I really need to give that to her, that she will be lacking if she does not have warmth, and it will pass by so fast I will be lacking too.

its all just a reaction.     She’s not so frail, and neither am I.   But it would be nice to have another staycation.
