I woke up today and for another day Dad was missing! I had fun with Mom in the morning and then – surprise! – Dad showed up! Mom took off for work and Dad and I hung out until Aunt Claire took over at 7:30. I played with A/C all morning and finally learned how to a blow a kiss. Dad was so excited to be the first recipient. While Dad was upstairs for one of his little breaks, he and A/C tricked me into standing up — without holding on to anything — for a full two seconds in my pack n play.
I spent a lot of time reading with Aunt Claire. My two favorite books are Baby Love and Busy Doggies. I love reading! In fact, if someone even says “Do you want to read a book?” I immediately start panting!
The most bizarre thing that happened today was that Aunt Claire gave me a maple flavored teething biscuit. Huh? Yeah, Mom, good idea and thanks and stuff, but the biscuit turns into a pretty nasty color and into a yucky consistency. Just look at it…ewww!
I had a couple minor injuries today: I bumped my face on my box of noise makers and then bumped my head on a chair. Whatever, I’m a tough a girl. More than that, I shared the pain by bloodying A/C’s nose. She said to me “Can you get my nose.” Oh yeah, Aunt Claire, I got it. Be careful what you ask for!
I didn’t like the confetti slaw nearly as much today, even pretending to gag on it. Then A/C tricked me into eating it by alternating spoonfuls of it with spoonfuls of apples — my favorite! Then, I stood up on my mat for 1…2…3…4…5 seconds! It was so long that Aunt Claire and Dad turned and looked at each other — twice — in amazement before I fell on my backside. Dad and A/C were so excited! Dad even jumped up and down and all around.
When Mom came home with Grandpa’s car, Dad ran out to return it to him. I think he had separation anxiety leaving me, because he knew I’d be asleep by the time he got back home. I had a really fun time with Mom as she got me ready for bed.
