I got up at 4:45 and ate with Dad. I never really fell back into a deep sleep again, but I didn’t get up for breakfast until around 8:00. Mom and I read four books and played in my activity gym. I was so exhausted that I took a two hour nap before eating and getting ready to go out for lunch. We went to PJ Clarke’s for lunch — I’ve been two lunch twice in New York and both times at PJ’s! I got to meet one of Mom’s professors from the Kennedy School. We came back and hung out at home until we went out for the second time today to go to Mom’s doctor‘s appointment. Dad met us at the doctor’s office and he and I went to The Food Emporium to buy a lasagna pan (fun, I know).
We met Mom back at the apartment and I had a pretty uneventful evening. We hung out, I did some tummy-time, and played in my bouncy chair and my swing. I got really fussy right before bed and actually screamed at the top of my lungs while I was nursing. Mom and Dad were struggling to figure out why I was so unhappy. Maybe I was hungry. Maybe I skipped a feeding earlier in the day. All these theories. After I finished everything Mom had to offer, Dad warmed up some milk and gave me a little extra bottle. Then. Phhhleeeeeeeeeeeegggggghhhhhhhhhhhppppppppppooooooopppppppppppkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. And if you think that sounded bad, well, it smelled even worse. I filled up my entire diaper with the mud-like poop. Not the mud like in a yummy mud pie. No, I’m talking about the mud that runs down the side of a mountain during a torrential rainstorm. Dad took about 10 deep breaths, held his breath, and took care of (my) business.

Dear Miss Margaret –
The smile photo is my new, most favorite picture of you! You look so relaxed and contented. Of course, I seem to have a new favorite nearly every day!
I am not sure I agree with your dad about the midriff-baring. You seem a little young to me, but I do have to admit that you look darn cute!
Hope you and Mom and Dad are having a happy day.
Much love –
Grandma
I agree with G’ma Sherry: the smile phot o is one of your cutest! What personality……
