         penelope was on his hip. her quiet cooing and babbling lead a small smile to creep onto his features. in his spare hand there is a plate of lemon bars which he sets on the table of their sitting room before offering one toward his wife. he had turned the baby on his lap so that he might see her smiling face. “ i think she may have her first tooth. ” he bowed his head so he might see it closer before nodding to him. “ any day now she shall be biting and smiling. although i hope that she is not like her siblings in that she goes after fingers. ” he broke off a piece of the lemon bar to let her gnaw on it. philip smiled up at eloise, he flipped penelope around. “ are we distracting you ? ”
