Day 16

Dear Daddy,

Today I was a really good girl-for most of the day.

I got mommy up at close to 8 for a bottle. I was up for about an hour or so, and mommy didn't think I would go back to sleep, but I did-till almost 1!

After I got up, had lunch, and got dressed, we went to help put Emily's party favors together. Here I snoozed for a little bit... and then we "accessorized"! My hair on one side is getting long enough to do something with pretty soon!

(see how pretty my eyes are getting?)

Then mommy and I ran some errands... I was great again. We got home, changed my stinky diaper, and ate... I did good with the rice cereal I had, but I made silly faces at it!
Then it was bathtime! I stayed in till it was getting cold...

...halfway through washing me I started SCREAMING. So mommy hurried, I settled down, and fell asleep in my seat watching House.
Mommy was so excited... she thought I was back on a normal schedule and I was doing good, because I fell asleep at 8. Little did she know...

I woke up about 45 minutes later. I didn't want to swing, didn't want to be on my mat, didn't want to be in my chair... so the next couple of hours were a blur to mommy, but they involved a bottle and lots of teething tablets and a few trips to my crib when finally, I wouldn't be consoled, and I fell asleep on mommy-at almost 11:30.

I exhaust mommy. She wonders how she'll ever be able to handle two kids at once, or three, or four, or however many you let her have.

I hope you get moved into your new place quick so you can get a better sleep, and so you can talk to mommy and I. I can't wait to see you.

I miss you... I am praying that you are warm and happy and thinking of us lots.

I love you, daddy, and I can't wait to see you.
Love, Maya
