Day 80: Naps are for Babies

on May 30, 2008

A totally new look for me — can anyone put their finger on what looks so different in this picture?

 I got up earlier than usual today — around 4:30 — after tossing and turning for about an hour.  I was so restless that Dad got up a couple times in the night thinking I was ready to eat.  Dad made the mistake of checking his email while he fed me and got so distracted that he couldn’t fall back asleep after I drank about half of my bottle.  After Dad left, I whimpered for a while before Mom got me up.

I ate a lot today and slept much less than I have been, especially less than yesterday at Dad’s office.  I pooped twice — making Mom’s day, and peed on my changing pad while Aunt Claire was changing me.  I took a bath and then took a walk with Mom in the Baby Bjorn — the first time I’ve been in it with Mom since I rejected it several weeks ago.  I love being able to see in front of me while we go out for walks.  I overheard a lot of strangers saying nice things about me, which always helps!  I ended up going on another walk with Aunt Claire, but this time in my stroller where I couldn’t hear the passers-by.

Dad didn’t come home for dinner (he was at happy hour – but what’s more happy than me?), so it was just me and Mom at home (Aunt Claire was on a Crazy Blind Date!).  Just as I was finishing supper with Mom, Dad came home and slobbered kisses all over my face.  I was still hungry, so Dad gave me a quick mini-bottle before putting me to bed around 9:30. 

You’d laugh, too, if you were wearing a bicep bracelet!

    Hey, Miss Maggie –
    It looks like your hair is literally sprouting more every day! Some farmers I know would like to see their corn popping up as quickly as your hair appears to be. I am looking forward to seeing you in some cute pigtails like your mom used to wear.
    You and Mom did a great job with the video – and you waved on cue! Your Dad has been reminding us how smart you are. I guess this is some first-hand proof. Don’t be slacking on your fraction practicing or your short story reading, though – just because you are now a movie star.Your education comes first!
    Keep Mom and Dad and Aunt Claire on their toes this weekend!
    Love you, Margaret –
    Grandma
