Whenever there’s a holiday it always means I will have someone to play with. Dad and grandparents are not at work and can spend the whole day with me. I think I should write to the president to come up with more holidays. Aurora Day is a good one to add to the list.
Today I sit and wait with anticipation for my cousin and uncle who are coming to see me all the way from Canada. They have been driving for a whole day, but I hope they will not be too tired and will have enough strength to play with me. I have been practicing new songs and rhymes so that I could entertain them :)
Playing with my food is fun, but playing with mom’s food is even better :)
I have become a real expert in eating with a spoon and my technique is almost impeccable. When the food is sticky – I blow bubbles. When the food is cold – I push it out with my tongue. When the food is colorful – I get as much of it on my fingers as I can and paint everything in sight. When I am full I store some in my cheeks and when the time is right I make a raspberry sound and irrigate the surroundings. When I really want to make an impression, I wait till the spoon is right by my lips and I sneeze and sneeze.
Yesterday I turned seven months. As a reward, I thought I’d give myself a day off from my job as a blog writer and photo editor. And to be honest, there was so much excitement in the air that I doubt I would be able to concentrate on writing. Turning seven months was lots of fun. First I had a little party with my friends Zebra and Sophie the Giraffe where we sat in a circle and sang songs, played clapping games and counting rhymes. Then my real live friend David came for a play date. I haven’t interacted with David before, so I didn’t know if we would have anything in common. But he was very nice and we had a really good time. We told each other stories, held hands, and even played footsie. He brought me the softest little sheep named Dasha. I also got presents from my friend Rachel, who I hope to see soon so that I can say “Thank you!” for all the wonderful books and clothes she got me.
Thank you everyone for all the good wishes. I’m feeling much better now :)
It’s no fun being sick! I can’t sleep, I can’t eat, and even playing brings me little joy. The only thing I can do is to chew on my toys, since I have my very first budding of a tooth on the bottom right side. Although you cannot see it yet, if you give me something small, I’ll leave an impression :)
My friend Sabrina stopped by yesterday evening for a quick visit. We have not seen each other in a long while and I was very glad she was able to come and say “hi”. She brought a gift for me and when I opened it, I could not believe it. My very first computer! I was too tired to try it out yesterday, but I couldn’t wait to wake up and play with it today. When I pressed a button and lights came on, I forgot to breath for a second.
