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.

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”.

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!

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!

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Apparently I did something very rude. I swear, it was unintentional. I don’t even know what it means or why it is bad, but I apologize for it. Sorry.

I’m growing so much every day. Even my hair is growing a lot. Look at how long it is getting! I’ve been bathing with an all-in-one baby shampoo and body soap. Maybe it is time to switch to baby shampoo and conditioner to control that hairdo.

I woke up in a good mood this morning and so did Daddy. So we had some nice chat time together. I was very happy to lie on his arm and just talk about stuff.

My deepest sleep usually comes after nursing. I am so satisfied and full that I fall into a comfortable deep sleep. That puts me interesting sleeping poses right after nursing.

But that often means that when it is time to move to my sleeping mat or bed that I am more likely to sleep peacefully.

We were playing on my mat and Daddy started covering me with it to see what I did. I have to say, I didn’t hate it. It was fun! I think it is an early stage of peek-a-boo.

I have been smiling a lot lately. And most of those are for Mommy. When I see her or hear her, I light up and smile! I absolutely adore my Mommy!

We went for our daily walk and since it was so hot, Mommy and Daddy picked up something to drink from a convenience store. But when we got home, we found that it was shady and breezy outside so they decided to enjoy their refreshments outside. It was nice to be able to relax in the fresh air.
