Yes, baby is smart in-deed now. How proud she is of her new shoes, and how ea-ger she is to put out her lit-tle feet to shew them to her bro-ther and sis-ter, who seem scarce-ly less pleas-ed than her-self. Her ma-ma too looks with de-light up-on the plea-sure her ba-by feels, and for-gets all the trou-ble she her-self has had. I do not know how chil-dren can be grate-ful e-nough to their kind parents who thus pro-vide for all their wants and plea-sures in their help-less age.
