What I can do
- Grab things!! I can grab the mirror on my playmat and
pull myself towards it. I like the
feel of different textures – and if my clothing has any embroidery on it
at all – I will keep touching it. Plus
– I can now grab a toy and hold it! Last night – I surprised mommy and
daddy and decided that I could hold
my paci in my hand and put it in or out of my mouth as I desired. I can also spit it across the room if I feel
like it! - I can stand on my own power – granted, for short
bursts and with daddy holding me up with 2 fingers for balance, but every
day I am getting better at it. - Carry on conversations with everything around me. I have a routine now with mommy.. I go
through an inventory of people/animals/things to say hello to in each
room. And I have an affair going on
with Mr. Skylight over the changing table. I giggle and coo at Mr. Skylight then
turn, giggle and coo and smile at mommy, then Milton, then the mobile in
my room.. the same order each time. - I can force mommy and daddy to give in and let me
sleep on my tummy. I won’t settle
at night anymore – until daddy picks me up and lets me sleep on my tummy—I
win! - I can try to get both hands into my mouth at the same
time – and grunt while doing it.. - I roll over halfway – stop – find something
interesting to look at – and stay there.
What I
like/don’t like
- I love my Fisher Price Sensory thing (whatever it is
called — it takes a lot of batteries). Just got it on Saturday and I am
already calling it baby crack. I will fuss until I am put in the seat –
and then I will spend a good hour or two talking to the disco ball that
hangs down over it. Before this – I had an orthopedic pillow for back pain
(yeah mommy’s preggo-PGP pain) that vibrates. Daddy would put that
touching my feet and I would be asleep in seconds.. Figures — a fortune
in baby products and a $5 pillow soothed her! - I like baths now – the new bathtub is a bust – so now
it stores my dirty clothes. The old
bath tub can be fun – and I am beginning to splash. - I am undecided about my Bumbo seat (check
out the link). I will sit in it –but
am a little uncertain about it. - I like naked-baby time and wiggle my butt all over the
play playing catch the booty! - I enjoy my new wardrobe – I outgrew all of my 0-3 and
most of my 3-6 month size clothes – so now I am into the big girl sizes. Mommy even put me into an outfit for 6-12
months – and it fits!! (No pictures available because it is pink) - Baby Einstein DVD – If I am in a calm mood – mommy will
let me watch a few minutes – and I love it. The baby Mozart puts me to sleep! - I LOVE it when Daddy sings to me – ‘who knows better than
the muffin man – the muffin man – nobody else but Daddy!’ - I like looking into every mirror I can find trying to figure
out who the ‘other baby’ in the house is.
Nicknames this
week:

I have grown soo much that I wear 6 month + sizes (just for the length mind
you).. I have another new wardrobe – and decided I don’t like dresses that much
(like mommy). I am very strong and
leaning towards the athletic type (like Daddy). I can grab mommy’s shirt and move it to one
side.. I can wiggle my way in a complete circle and I can use different cries
for my different needs now – not bad for someone whose adjusted age is only 2
months! I am ahead of the curve for a 3
month old!
Mommy and I have taken drives
together (yes – the sidewalks will never be safe again now that mommy is
driving). I can keep myself entertained in the backseat and coo along to the
music.. Current fav – Ziggy Marley!
Daddy and I have reached an
understanding – I am in charge. As long
as he remembers that – we are cool J .
Milton is trying to get closer and closer
every night.. Last night – he tried to sleep with his face next to mine – but mommy
wouldn’t let him. Harvey is getting a little more curious about
me now – and will sit close to me if I am really quiet. Omaha
is taking a lot more interest in me now – he even licked my face last night!
I will write more later –
when mommy and daddy aren’t looking!
