I’m still loving my play mat and am active on it every day. Recently, I’m interacting with the toys that are hanging from it more and more. I accidentally bat and grab them while flailing my arms around. Today, Mommy added a new furry friend to my play mat and put it just within myContinue reading “Mat grab”

I had to say goodbye to Daddy this morning. After nearly two months working from home, he had to go off to work today. I don’t know what today is going to be like. I have gotten used to having Daddy at home with Mommy and me. I barely remember what it was like myContinue reading “Daddy’s off to work”

I’m getting to know my furry friends more and more everyday. We play together and even share our things. You may recognize the black onesie that I outgrew. We spend a lot of time together on my play mat. They are furry, friendly, and very protective of me. It’s nice to have furry friends.

I am a very expressive baby. I have all kinds of looks and expressions. Most of my expressions are happy and cute, a few are sad and fussy, and in some rare cases I have very intense stares. Here is a picture of an unwarranted accusing stare. And Daddy copying me.

I am a very busy baby. It seems that I am always moving. I mean, ALWAYS moving. When I FaceTime with Grandma and Grandpa they often comment that I am always moving. If I’m on my back my hands are up and about flailing around and my legs are kicking out.

It seems that my eyelashes are continually growing. Look how pretty they are. It almost looks like fake lashes. Trust me, they are real. I grow them myself.

I still am not fond of sleeping on my own, especially when I have to be put down on my back. Mommy and Daddy have tried all kinds of methods to put me down. They tried to ease me down, they tried to do it quickly, they tried to swaddle me first then put meContinue reading “Putting me down”

One of the happiest times of my day is right after I’ve been fed. My tummy is full and I’m very content. It is also a great chance to be close to Mommy. It is so comfy I don’t want to move.

Aaagh! Daddy lost part of his face! What happened to all of his whiskers? I vaguely remember a time when I was younger when he didn’t have whiskers, but for the past month and a half he has always had whiskers. And they kept increasing. Where did they go? Oh. This just in. Daddy shavedContinue reading “No more beard”

My new doggy friends seem to have accepted me into their pack. Or maybe they are ganging up on me and getting ready to eat me. I hope they aren’t hungry.

Life is not only sunshine and rainbows. Like all people, I can’t possibly be happy all the time. We all have bad days. Today was a good day, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t bad moments. It’s nice to know that no matter how sad or worried I am, Mommy and Daddy are always thereContinue reading “Happy sad”

Hi!

I’m either in a deep sleep or undergoing a system update. *Downloading update files…

I have some new friends! I remember seeing them around in the house, but they always kept their distance. Maybe they wanted to give me space or were just waiting until I was big enough to play with them. I think I’m big enough now. They are pretty playful. They seem very interested in me.Continue reading “Doggy friends”

I’m very happy! Do you want to know why? Tummy time has finally paid off. I can hold my head up high and long! It is a whole new world out there and I’m finally seeing it under my own strength. Next thing you know I’ll be crawling all over the place! Look out world,Continue reading “Tummy Time: Success”

I love nursing! It is not only nourishing, but also mentally and emotionally rejuvenating. Some days it seems that all I do besides sleep, pee, and poo is nurse. And even when I am doing the other things, I am most likely thinking about nursing. Sometimes I dream about nursing when I fall asleep rightContinue reading “Dream nursing”

Not every day goes the way I want it to. So I often have to let Mommy and Daddy know that I am not happy. Before, I would do that with full-throttle wails! I still visit that option from time to time, but for the most part I opt for energy saving whimpering. I don’tContinue reading “Energy saving whimpering”

This is how Daddy takes care of me in the morning. A different parenting method than usual. Still, it works.

Now that I’m doing better sleeping at night, pretty steady 3 hour stretches, I wake up with a lot of energy. Sometimes that energy goes into crying and fussing, and sometimes that energy is more positive. Today I used that energy to warm up and get ready to face the day! I guess this isContinue reading “Morning warm up”

My hand has become my chew toy. I have been chewing on it more and more these days. It could be to soothe myself, or it could be because I’m teething. Or it might be because I don’t know what else I’m suppose to do with my hand. There are two things that I discoveredContinue reading “Chew toy”
