Our neighbour, Briana, has a 6 week old baby who is such a cutie. I'm often out the front of their townhouse as Stumpy goes running straight to their place to chew on their grass when she gets half a chance, since that's the closest grass.
So I was supervising her while she had a nibble, and Bri opened the front blinds, saw me, and came out with little Clara.
Clara was fussing a bit, and Bri was looking exasperated and said "she's been really fussy all day, I don't know what she wants". And she was trying different positions and little Clara kept on fussing.
I asked if I could take her for a bit, and I put her on my shoulder, and she stopped fussing immediately.
So we chatted for a while, and Clara quite happily sat there calm as could be...
They were about to go get the mail, so I said I'd walk down with them and keep cuddling Clara since she was settled (and so darn cute).
On the way back from the mail box Clara fell asleep still snuggled up to me. I must have been cuddling her about 45 minutes without any fussing or even making a sound. She must have just wanted someone different to cuddle
It's certainly nice to know that I can handle babies ok - that they don't go screaming as soon as they see me....
