Yeah. [ tries to smile, setting him down on the floor next to the crib and then goes to work picking up nia. ] Go sit on the bed, okay?

...can I lay down instead and we can all snuggle? (moves over to the bed)

O-oh, yeah. We could... Try? [ follows after him. ]

Okay... (lays down on his side on the bed, waiting for her)

[ gently sets nia down next to him, lying down next to her only after she was sure the baby girl was comfortable. ]

(reaches over to gently hug Nia) This is good, right? As long as we're careful?

Yes. Just be very, very careful.

Okay...

...how old is she?

Almost three months old.

...that's really old.

It is. The time is passing so quickly...

I'm glad she's a little bigger... I don't have to be as careful.

Still careful, though. She isn't as tough as you are.

I know... but when she was littler I couldn't even really do this.

That's true. Enjoy her while she's like this and not trying to squiggle away from you.

Can she really do that?

Not too much just yet.

That's probably good...

Yeah... She may attempt to escape from you, though.

I don't want her to... she's my sister, I love her.

[ oh happy smile. ♥ ] Do you know how happy it makes me to hear that?

...really happy?

Mmhmm... You two mean the world to me.

...I'm glad.

[ reaches out and ruffles his hair. ] Now, we just need to get Luke back...
