that wasn’t on my face today.

i recently decided to make mealtime an opportunity to incorporate my love of performance art with my ever-increasing physical prowess. i like bringing an element of surprise to the table, figuratively and literally, keeping mommy and daddy on their toes.

speaking of toes … i really, really love mine. i love pulling on them, talking to them, sucking on them …

toes

the last two days have been chockfull of excitement and adventure. i’m out of my pea period food-wise, having moved on to butternut squash. it is really yummy. yesterday, too, i took my first bath without the special tub sling to hold me. i am big enough now not to need that extra protection in my blue duckie tub. AND last night was the first night i slept in MY crib in MY room all by MYself. before, i slept in my bassinet in mommy and daddy’s room, but just as i am big enough to use my bathtub like a big boy, i am also too big for my bassinet. i slept through the night with nary a peep. what can i say? i’m a total pro.

today, mommy watched naomi while miss megan ran an errand. we went next door to naomi’s house so she could swing on her swing set. i have never seen anything as glorious in my whole life as a swing set. i CANNOT wait until i can swing and climb and slide. later we came back to our house, and i sat in my highchair while naomi sang and danced and talked around me. i really like naomi. she is very nice to me and a lot of fun. i am totally entranced by her!

but as entranced as i might have been, i did get overloaded. after miss megan picked up naomi, i had a super-concentrated meltdown that ended abruptly when i fell dead asleep on mommy’s shoulder.

adventure is tiring!
