Milestones

[alt_nymphadora]

This week Bea's begun smiling back at us when we make faces at her. I suppose this means she's able to see more clearly, and maybe it means she recognises us and likes it.

Is that a step towards thinking of someone besides herself? No sign of that yet. Least not in the middle of the night!

But. The really big, lovely surprise this week was when I went to feed her last evening: she looked straight at me and turned her hair purple! My very favourite shade.

I think we'll keep her.

Order Only

Never mind him, dear. She looks absolutely wonderful.

Really! What an awful thing to say to a new mother! Horrible man!

Thanks, Molly.

She's darling, isn't she? Makes me go all twinkly just looking at her.

And when she smiles at him, Remus can't even put a sentence together.

Sure he can. It's mainly to do with keeping boys well away from her, though, and not exactly repeatable in what your aunt would call 'polite company.'

Horrid wench. As if she'd ever get up in the middle of the night for her kid's feedings.

You are definitely not what my aunt would call polite company.

And, no, of course not. That's what elves and nannies are for. I imagine she didn't feed her sprog herself at all. Might have damaged her figure.
