something on our chest.

This morning Hugh discovered the great healing powers of a baby asleep on one's chest. This was all new to me before Hugh was born...but it's true...5 minutes of a sleeping baby on a chest will bring a type of peace and relaxation found nowhere else.
When Uncle Jamie first met Hugh...he felt rather timid about holding such a new infant. So shortly after their introduction, we plopped baby Hugh on Uncle Jamie's chest and hours....{no exaggeration: hours!!!} lazily wandered by as Hugh lay peacefully with Jamie. I thought surely Jamie would have to use the facilities at some point...but no. I thought surely Jamie would want to move his tired sitting bones...but no. It wasn't until the sun started to set and a martini was poured that Jamie moved to the back porch all the while holding Hugh tightly to his chest. Yes, Jamie was hooked.

So today...all of us got in on some baby-chest-holding time...and today, I think our household just became a little more peaceful....
