Day 43

Dear Daddy,

This is going to be a fast post-as its been a long day, mommy is sick, and we need to get up early in the morning.

Last night was awful. I got up screaming my little head off at 1:30-no matter what mommy did she couldn't make me feel any better, so as a last resort she got a bottle and sure enough, I drank almost the whole 6 ounces. Then I got up again at 6:45... mommy fed me and fought with me for an hour to get me back to sleep a little bit more, but of course as soon as I fell asleep Dave came to fix our floor. (See the big blog for the pictures!)

So mommy had to get up, and I soon followed because of the noise. I watched my video for a little bit but quickly got bored with that since there was a lot going on. Look what I am doing-trying to sit up.

I loved my jumperoo today! I love chewing the front of it even more though.

I was playing and then fell asleep for a bit-the first time sleeping on my belly, so when I woke up I was scared because I didn't know where I was.
By the time Dave finally finished with the floor (he kept getting called out to do other stuff, leaving us without a toilet for a really long time!) it was time to take Evie to her appointment. I was pretty happy there!
...then we got home, repacked my bag, I slept for a little while, and we were off to mommy's meeting. Then I got back and very much enjoyed being only in my diaper! Mommy couldn't catch the really huge smiles, but I was full of them, and did plenty of limb flailing.

After that it was pretty basic... mommy and I cuddled on the couch, I ate, and then mommy put me to sleep (in my swing tonight... my sheets are in the dryer, oops. She could have gotten my spare set out but she's not that motivated and hey... maybe the swing will make me sleep good tonight, mommy needs it.

We are counting down the days till R&R... we are so excited for it, even though it's still more than a "normal" deployment away.

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