As per usual, the baby stayed with me in bed this morning as opposed to romping about the living room waiting for me to get up. Now that the days have gotten colder, she seems to prefer staying in bed with me instead of rising ahead of my sleepy schedule to lie in the morning sun. Not a difficult choice really, at least from my point of view. Warm, cozy bed vs. cold, astringent winter sun. That said, once the baby's up, she's up. Unlike me, there's no lallygagging with her. Once she's out of bed, she's ready for play. Me? I need a little more time to adjust.
Meanwhile, the cold weather doesn't seem to bother Memphis one bit. He still gets up before everyone else to do whatever it is that he does. And, once he's had his breaky, he can be found in his usual post -- that is, hanging out and watching the traffic from his perch in the bedroom. Evidently he doesn't care that it's frigid by the windows. The baby thinks it's because he's got a lot of natural insulation (*wink*wink*).
Anyway, there must've been something in the water today because the baby and Memphis were strangely interactive with one another. Although they've gotten to the point where they don't really get worked up over the presence of the other (except with respect to feeding time, but we're working on that), they aren't really what one would consider "friendly". However, today, they were all over each other. Well, more so than usual. The baby would chase her bone, and Memphis would stalk and pounce on her as she ran by. Then, as Memphis relaxed on the couch, the baby would try to engage him in some play by hopping all over him (much to his credit, he did not cause any bodily harm to the baby). It was kinda sad watching this socially awkward play, but at least they're trying.
