Lips That Quiver

Quiet baby 
wakes and wants thirst quenched.
     That why his lips quiver?

Certainly this evening TS. My mother in law passed away today. I am crying like a baby. She was such a beautiful soul.

Jean, I always used humor to dissuade my babies from crying. Cute poem and probably why baby is crying. : )

I with Victor that poor baby. I couldn't stand a baby cry that is probably why my sons are spoiled. Good Luck in the contest ~*

Thank you Eve. I breast fed mine until they were two and a half. It was always so handy for any quivering lip episodes.

I think that's why, yes, or because of the picture taken :) Good luck, Jean.

I am blessed to work with babies all day Anna-Lise. Bathing them and helping them to latch. No two days are ever the same. Thank you for your good wishes.
