Day 5

Dear Daddy,

HI! Wow... was today a MUCH better day than there has been! Mommy had a revelation: I am going through my three month growth spurt! How she couldn't have figured this out before is beyond me. I am now in the "hibernating" phase of it... It's 10:30(pm), and I have been asleep since 5.

Even this morning was far better. I woke up later than I have been (almost 9-mommy was even up and showered before I got up!) and was all smiles. I watched your DVD's and talked to you, and mommy and I talked and played for a little too...

And THEN... I was having some belly time... and I rolled over! Mommy couldn't believe it... she thought it had to be some kind of mistake... but she grabbed the camera, put me back on my belly, and this is the video she got of me doing it again! Just make sure that the volume is down or off when you watch it... mommy's voice is obnoxious.



Then we went out to lunch and I got to see Catherine for a little while, and then we went out to coffee with another one of mommy's friends. Here is Riane burping me... aren't I so pretty?
Then we got back home, I cried a lot, and really really hard, and made mommy really sad... my mouth was hurting so bad that I even cried when she was holding me walking around the house trying to soothe me. So she loaded me up with Tylenol, teething tablets, and anbesol, and gave me a bottle... and I fell asleep and have been OUT since then. Mommy has gotten a lot done on a special something for you, and she is glad to have the break from my screaming.
So, hopefully from here on out mommy will be a lot happier and the deployment will be a little easier to get through, at least for the time being. I have a busy day planned tomorrow... we are going to get my ears pierced if mommy doesn't chicken out, and mommy just talked to Rae and baby Kenny might be here soon! So if he comes, we will go meet him.

I am glad you got to where you are going, and are safe... I can't wait till you get settled into where you will be staying so mommy and I can send you stuff. I hope you have a good day daddy and that you think of me lots.

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