Sammy was now 6 months old at this point, so she was rolling and crawling everywhere, (and I literally mean everywhere), (though babies are like that when they learn to roll and crawl and other things), so naturally I was busy making sure that she didn't get into things that she wasn't supposed to be in.

It was like late morning, the sun was actually shining in the sky, so much so that you could've gotten blinded by it, (which was not fun by any means but what can ya do about it?), I can tell you that the sky was very, very pretty, (weird thing to note I know, but sue me Karen).

Anyway, it was late morning, I was trying to get Sammy down for a nap, (trying being the important word here), but Sammy was not happy about it, (though children in general hate sleeping for some bloody reason even though they need all the sleep).

"I know that you don't want to sleep right now Darling, I know, but we both know that you'll be cranky if you don't have a nap now"

Yeah I know that Sammy couldn't really understand what I was saying to her, (because ya know, she's a baby), but she usually calmed down a little bit when I started rambling, but it didn't work that time, (and it's wasn't that she needed a nappy change, as I had checked that).

"It's ok Baby, it's ok, you're ok, shh, I got you, Mama's got you"

It was like a light had been switched on, as it hit me like a ton of bricks, (realisation is heavy like that, ok), like she just didn't want to be alone, (even if she wasn't really going to be on her own, but babies don't know that, do they).

"Oh Baby, I know, I know, it's ok, I got you Sweetheart, I got you, let's go have a nap now shall we?"

So I went upstairs with Sammy in my arms, and as soon as I actually got into the bed, (I didn't get dressed that day), Sammy was out like a light, so I was stuck there for a while, (not that I minded at this point, as she's my baby, ya know?), (or maybe you don't, not everyone has experience with parenthood or even babies in general).

I didn't nap, (well I'm an insomniac here, of course I didn't bloody nap here), but I did feel a bit more relaxed than I was beforehand, (which was rare, so I was gonna take it while I could honestly), so there's that going for me, and it was kind of peaceful if I was being completely honest with you here, (which I am).

It was about an hour later, (don't quote me on it though, as I'm shit with timings and other shit like that here, ya know), and Sammy woke up surprisingly happy, (babies just wake up cranky a lot, ok, I'm not being mean about my own baby here, ok, I'm not that much of an arsehole here).

"Hey Baby, hi, you seem happier than you were before your nap, eh, (kisses cheek), yeah, I bet you're getting hungry now, huh, let's grab some lunch then, eh"

So I went down the stairs again to make us both some lunch, ya know, (or maybe you don't, I ain't assuming what you do and don't know here mate), was it earlier than I would normally have lunch?, yes, but honestly sometimes I can't be arse to make myself lunch at a different time to Sammy just because it was earlier than normal.

Anyway, we lunch and all that jazz, (as you do), by the time that I had finished feeding Sammy, she and I were both well messy but she ate so that was the main thing here, (plus Babies are messy in general, so a lunch that was messy didn't kill me, cleaning Sammy up while she was squirming almost did though).

Sammy was happily babbling away to herself afterwards and it was just so adorable, (or maybe I'm just really Mumsy here, who knows though?), (though I guess even without that I was quite Mumsy), I can't even tell you why that was, just that it was adorable, ya know, (or maybe you don't know, I'm not assuming what you do and don't know here).

"Hey Baby, ya happy today Darling, yeah?, I'm glad that you seem happier then"

Yes, it does seem like I was just talking to myself here, (I do know that it definitely seems like that), but it was to engage Sammy into the conversation to help with her speech, (there is a study on this and how this helps but I can't really remember where that was).
