At first, the baby simply gazed up at her, smiling, his tiny fingers wrapped around hers.
But within fifteen minutes, his eyelids began to droop.
The soothing motion of the cradle soon lulled him into a peaceful slumber.
"Babies really do sleep a lot, don't they?"Shen Xinghui murmured.
"They do indeed," Layla agreed.
With a mischievous glint in his eye, Shen Xinghui lightly poked Kaelion's soft cheek with his fingertip.
She chuckled to herself, clearly enjoying the moment.
"I thought they'd need more playtime," he mused.
"As he grows a little older, that will become more necessary," Layla reassured him.
"He's a boy, after all. I wonder what kind of games we'll play together."
Of course, at this stage, "play" would be simple activities—tummy time to strengthen his neck, rolling practice, or little exercises to help him push himself up with his arms.
