Glowing

I hadn't put baby in her sling for three months until today, and when I did she had quite a reaction. She nestled right in, and looked around her like she used to, if with somewhat more awareness. When I tried to take her out of the sling, fearing that she would be cramped or possibly hot in there, I really learned how much she yearned to be in her safe spot. Which is to say that she cried the moment I tried to remove her, as though in physical pain. We solved that by putting her right back in and walking around the house until she was tired enough to take a little bottle of formula and start her nap. The main reason we hadn't been putting her in the sling in our new environment was the heat; but even with our moderate use of air conditioning she was fine today being carried across my chest and stomach. And I swear she has been glowing ever since.
