Punk Baby

Coming home from the dog park tonight, I wanted to let my mom and dad know how cranky I was so I cried really loud. Then my dad turned on the radio and I heard some punk music that was so interesting that right away I forgot to cry.

I was pretty cranky and wasn't really tired for bed, even though Dad said I was, so I stayed awake. Dad thought I might like some more music to help me sleep. I've decided I like Green Day. But only the songs with heavy drumbeats. I didn't like Wake Me Up When September Comes. So I woke up when that song came and cried until my mom came to feed me.

Creeping Baby


I went to see my Uncle Jason today for his early birthday dinner. I think he doesn't really know what to do with me cuz he looked kinda uncomfortable holding me at first. His girlfriend Rebecca is much better at holding me and she doesn't ask "What do I do now?"

Dad wanted to show off how good I am at creeping now. So they put me on a big square coffee table. I still need help right now so Aunt Amy had to put her hands behind my feet so I could push off them. But she wasn't pushing me. I was chugging away on my own power.

Playing with food is fun


My dad took my mom to Postino in Lafayette for her birthday. My dad was holding me in his lap while he was eating and I decided it would be interesting to grab at the stuff on his plate. I got food all over my hands. That was a lot more fun than eating the stuff. I think I might play with food a lot more in the future.

More Tummy Time

I tried holding my head up more today. I think I'm getting better at it.

My parents took me to A Taste of the Himalayas in Berkeley tonight. My grandparents were there and held me the entire time. There really wasn't anything on the table that I wanted to eat so my grandparents walked me around the restaurant a lot. I especially like this one sculpture on the wall that had a lot of lines and lights on it.

Tummy Time

My mom put me on my stomach today. I got tired of just keeping my face on my activity mat, so I tried to hold my head up a little but it was kinda hard.

Sitting and Laughing


Today, I tried bending my body up. Usually, my mom or dad help me sit up. But today, I wanted to see if I could do it myself. I didn't get very far, though.

I also tried a little baby laugh to see what that was like.

Things move

I usually wave my arms around when I play was on my activity mat. Today, I tried moving my legs around in the air. The hanging things moved around too. I wonder if that's related.

Dad says I'm better at articulating with my fingers whatever that means.

Grumpy


I like my grandma cuz she's always happy to see me even when I feel kinda grumpy.

I found them!

It's hard being a baby. I got so tired playing on my activity mat, that I fell asleep on it. Playing is hard work.

A weird thing happened while mom was changing me. I saw these things appear above me so I tried grabbing at them. My mom said the flying objects were my toes. So that's what everybody at my dad's family reunion was talking about. They kept asking if I had found my toes yet.

Later, I was kinda tired but I didn't know how to go to sleep, so my mom held me on the washer during the spin cycle until I calmed down enough so I could fall asleep.

Sleep Sheep

My Grandma's Sora's friends gave me a Sleep Sheep. I like it cuz it makes relaxing sounds. Sometimes it sounds like my mom's heartbeat, sometimes like the rain and sometimes like the ocean. I was kinda tired and cranky in the afternoon, but my mom turned on the Sleep Sheep and I went to sleep.

More babies in mirrors

I started playing with the mirror on my activity mat and I saw another baby in it whom I liked to look at.

Who was that baby in the mirror?

Dad was holding me in front of a mirror and there was someone who looked like dad holding a baby who was really interesting to look at. I tried to reach out to him and he tried to reach out to me.

I'm a volcano

When I wake up in the morning, I like to eat, burp, poop and hang out with mom for a while and smile at her because she really likes it when I do that. This morning, I was sitting on mom's lap after eating. I hadn't burped yet, so I thought it would be fun to spit out ALL my milk all over me and Mom. Dad said I looked like a volcano. He said he wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes. It was funny at first, but then I got hungry again. But that's okay. I like to eat.

It was really funny to pretend to be a volcano and I was in a good mood today. I haven't been in such a good mood since those yucky shots. I think it was easier to sleep today because I was in a better mood.

I even decided to try to roll over today, but I only could get onto my side.
