In this case, Adelaide with her mormor and the cat Hobs.

Or with her Dad who is now off to work after spending the first few weeks with Addie. I do believe he would rather be home but then there is that question of income. It is, after all, not Norway where fathers are obligated to take paternity leave of several months. With pay.
But then that is why there is a family that can be extended. Our son, Jose, had taken the overnight train up from Maryland to Rhode Island to welcome Adelaide...just found it hard to stay awake the following afternoon. Above his supine form are, from the left,
Ingrid, Adelaide, Geoff, Charlotte (the mormor), Halie, Freya, and Tom. Not shown are Nelcy, Alejandro, and Dylan...still in the Dominican Republic. And Jose Jr, the first grandchild, now 14 years old, in Missouri.
All of us at one point have been babies. And even if we are not babies, we still need our sleep.
