Electric hair

Yep, my hair is still growing and reach for the sky!

It’s tough to get exercise or to enjoy any sports when you can’t run, walk, stand, crawl, or even hold my head up. But I need to start to exercise for my health. I heard that Daddy played soccer when he was younger, so I wanted to follow in his footsteps. So I started to practice today. And I have to say I have some fancy footwork.

Half

Am I half asleep or half awake? Are my eyes half opened or half closed? Half dreaming or half in reality? Half of what? I do not know. But completely and fully comfortable.

Movement

I was having a nice chat with Daddy when I felt something in my tummy. All of a sudden my smiles and laughs turned into brow furrowing and squinty eyes. Alas, it was a movement of the bowel variety. Maybe our conversation was too invigorating. Or maybe it was very relaxing. Whatever the case, I had a very good movement, which you will see, or more accurately “hear”.

Happy tummy time

Tummy time is getting to be more fun than a chore. Now I can hold my head up higher and longer so that means I can see more of the things going on around me. It is a whole new perspective on the world. I am enjoying it!

Mommy talk time

I have always enjoyed talking to Mommy. Now I can finally show her how much I enjoy it with my smiles and the attempts at laughter!

All smiles

Waking

Just a moment please. It takes me a while to wake up. I’m not really a morning person. Much strength and energy is required to power up.

Looking good

I like the hair. And a that look, wow. Right at the camera. I’ve gotta admit, I’m looking good!

Explosive hair

Man, look at that hair. I told you it was getting long. It is also getting a bit explosive. This is my post bath hairstyle and it stays like that even without any product in it. I have to admit, that this hairstyle is quite cool, both in temperature and style.

Peekaboo Mat

I’m getting to like this new use of my mat. We turned it into a bit of a peekaboo mat. I find the anticipation invigorating and the reveal thrilling. Every time we play peekaboo it gets more and more fun!

Far off look

Yeah, I don’t know what I’m looking at here. It’s not my mirror. I sometimes just stare off into the distance and lock my gaze there. It freaks Mommy and Daddy out sometimes. I’m not sure what I’m seeing. You’ll be the first to know when I figure it out.

Good sleep equals a good day

I have been sleeping quite well during the night. For the most part I only wake up for feedings and I no longer have crying fits. If I wake up because of a wet diaper, Daddy usually takes care of it and rocks me back to sleep. If I wake up because of hunger, it is Mommy’s territory. But even though I’m sleeping well during the day, I still sleep a lot during the day. I take a lot of naps. Even after I “wake up” in the morning, I often take a couple of morning naps.

But the good night’s sleep and the naps means I am usually in a good mood! And that’s the whole point.

Soccer footwork

I may not have much control over my hands, but somehow my feet are quite adept. I have quite good ball control considering that I can’t even see the ball. I must admit that I have some fancy footwork. Just imagine what I’ll be able to do once I am able to stand.
