I saw Daddy leave the living room so I crawled off to find him. I found him, or more like he found me. I followed him a little more and extended my exploration.
While exploring, I found myself in the entryway. I’ve passed through here many times, but I’ve never taken the time to explore this area. So, today, I did. And…not much here. Nowhere near as fun as the living room, kitchen, or Daddy’s desk area.
So, it was time to head back.
I got to play in blanket waves again, but I’m getting braver in the surf so now I jump into the waves. The ocean spits me back on the couch so that I can enjoy more waves and jump back in. I had a blast! I can’t wait until I can jump into real waves at a real beach!
Exploring under the table while Mommy and Daddy eat lunch is pretty much routine now. It is a fun place to be. It is kind of like having a fort. I’m just a bit to tall to stand up straight so I have to hunch down just a little me. I also have to watch out for the supports around the edge of the table. It is just above my eyeline and right at the level of my forehead, which means I hit my head there a lot.
Mommy and Daddy are eating lunch and that means there is food up there! Now how do I get up there from here?
I’m sitting seiza (proper Japanese sitting) to play with my toys. What good manners!
My food is all gone! Someone ate it all up! Sure, it was me, but I still want more. I’m not feeling happy right now.
I have an update on the Valentine’s Day card that I got from Grandma and Grandpa: I ate it. Actually, to be more accurate, I ate part of the envelope. Just so that there is not confusion, I did not just playfully chew on it. I actually ate part of it. I like to play with paper so I was having fun playing with the envelope. But this was very special paper and I just had to taste it, then bite it, then tear it, and then eat it. By the time Mommy and Daddy noticed what I was up to, I had eaten a corner of the envelope.
They were shocked! They knew I was playing with the envelope, like I play with paper, but they didn’t think I would eat it. I have never eaten paper before. They were just starting to ask me what I had done and what happened to the envelope when I threw up said envelope. It all came out in a nice little clump, but unfortunately so did part of my snack. I didn’t cry or anything, I just listened to my body when it told me to get this non-food out of me. Mommy and Daddy kept a close eye on me to make sure I was okay, and I was. I was my normal self, but a little more hungry than usual, having thrown up. I don’t think I will be eating paper again. It is a waste of food.
Oh, Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone! Much love to you all!
I got a Valentine’s day card today! It is my first one ever! It was from people who love me very much, Grandma and Grandpa! It was a really cute card with finger puppets. Neat!
What do you mean all my food is gone? I’m not happy about this.
Really? Truly? Aw, shucks. I’m okay now. Wanna play?
I wonder who’s going to clean this up?
I like to visit Daddy at his desk while he works from home. I think he enjoys my visits as well. I always smile when I see him and he smile back. He’ll talk to me or sometimes let me sit on his lap for a while. I usually explore around his desk, try to get the trash can, and things like that. Today I came up to his desk, stood up, smiled at him, and then pooped. Not the kind of visit that he was hoping for. Daddy had to call Mommy to take me away and change me, but I didn’t want to go. I had just gotten there.
I’m learning to look beyond the room I’m in. When Mommy leaves the living room I have a general idea where she is so I try to follow her. But there is this door in the way. I know she is somewhere on the other side but I can’t see her. This makes me sad.
If I told Daddy once, I told him a thousand times, I’m not sleepy. He kept asking me and I kept shaking my head. Why would he think I was sleepy? Sure, it was my nap time and my movements were a bit erratic, and my eyes were droopy. But I’m not sleepy.
Update: 10 minutes later I fell asleep.
I fell out of bed this morning. You might be wondering how that is possible. You know that I sleep in a crib and it has sides all around. Well, I climbed over the sides. Not really on purpose, but kind of on purpose. I woke up and was calling to be picked up. I knew that Mommy and Daddy were still sleeping, so I went to the side of the crib that faces their bed. I stood up and had my arms resting on the side of the crib. Mommy and Daddy woke up and were about to come get me, when I got so excited seeing them awake that I threw all my weight forward. I did a neat little flip and next thing I know I’m lying on their bed. I was lucky that I did a full flip and didn’t land in a weird way or on my head. It was a very soft landing. Mommy and Daddy were shocked! But I wasn’t crying or anything because I wasn’t hurt at all. We all knew that I was a climber, but I think I took things too far. I have a feeling that the floor of my crib is going to be lowered today. I’m glad I didn’t fall over the other sides onto the floor. That is not the way I want to wake up in the morning.
We had some quiet time after all the playing I was doing. Daddy put on one of my kids’ shows on the TV. I liked watching the shows, but I think Daddy was less interested in my shows. He got quite drowsy so he put a cushion around me to keep me safe.
I’m getting better at eating food with my fingers. I had no problem picking up the food, but my grip was too strong so I had some trouble eating it. I smooshed the vegetables and they would fall apart in my hands. Still, I did a good job and enjoyed my snack.
I love climbing the couch! I get so excited sometimes that it is easy to lose my balance. And depending on the position of cushions it is easy to get stuck too.
With a full tummy I was pretty sleepy, so I took a nap in my baby carrier while Mommy and Daddy did their shopping. I woke up refreshed and with an imprint on my cheek.
Mommy and Daddy still had some shopping to do after I woke up, but I was very patient. I quite enjoyed looking at everything. I know I’ve been here before but was still very interested in the scenery.
We had some shopping to do, but we figured we’d stop by a coffee shop on the way to the shopping mall. They have this nice special where you get free toast and a hard boiled egg when you order a coffee. I didn’t get to eat any of those things, although I have had them all before. Instead I ate the lunch that Mommy packed for me. It was really good and I was really happy to eat it.
I ate everything up and my tummy was full. I like to eat until I’m full, but I if I am full, I can’t eat anymore. So I do what I can to make room in my tummy.
I thought I was making room by pooping, but it ends up that I was just compacting. Maybe next time I’ll be able to poop to make more room.
