Today was a really fun day. I almost slept through the night (I just needed a quick visit from Dad around midnight) and got up around 5:30. After I drank my bottle, Dad and I played on my mat for quite a while, until Mom came down and joined us. Dad and I went to Dominick’s and Whole Foods before breakfast.
Breakfast was fun because it was the first time I officially got to eat finger foods! Mom spread out little chunks of oatmeal and bananas all over my high chair tray and I got to go at them on my own. After breakfast, I took a very short nap on my own and then a much longer nap in bed with Mom (I am training everyone very well!).
Mom and Dad and I played together until about 3:00 when we tried to run a couple errands, but pretty much failed miserably. I was getting impatient and the traffic was terrible! When we got home, I finished the bottle that Mom started with me in the car. I played until dinner at 6:00 and then my bath and bedtime at 7:00.
