Day 48

Dear Daddy,

Last night I went to bed very very early-8:00! In turn, though, I got up very very early... at 6:30. Mommy was NOT at all happy with me, since her alarm was set to go off at 7 (I always do that!) and mommy will take any ounce of sleep she can get.

Since I got up so early, I had lots of time to play before we headed over to Emily's house.

Here's an example-not a good one, but whatever-of me turning around in circles. Mommy will get good ones in the next few days of me doing it well. But I start out in a position like this:

...and then just a few kicks and I've turned 90 degrees. Usually I go in circles... but this morning I got mad by the time I got here and was getting stuck with the blanket and jammies. Usually I'm only in my diaper or less when I do it-on my mat.

Here's what I look like when I am throwing a fit after mommy puts my blanket over me to go outside (I don't realize its for my own good!):

We went to Emily's to play with her for a little while too. I was a good girl-I just ate and then watched cartoons with Emily, and then when it was time for Emily to eat I fell asleep.

Then we had to do some running-I fell asleep.

I slept in my seat like that through errands and in the car, and when we got home mommy carried my seat into the bedroom, put me down, and hopped into bed herself. Unfortunately she was so mad at the housing people she couldn't really sleep, she just dozed a bit, but it felt nice to just be still for a bit instead of running around doing stuff.

And now here is a story. There were pictures, but they were so bad that mommy gagged looking at them and deleted them. I had a massive BLOW OUT of a diaper today. At first I was having a hard time with it... then it must have gotten easier and shot up the back out of my diaper. It was SO BAD that mommy CUT my onesie off of me (thankfully it was just a plain white one) so she wouldn't have to attempt to pull it and the poo over my head, because surely it would have gotten all over. It was so bad that it soaked through that onesie actually and onto the cute outfit I was wearing today-but that was Gap so of course she just washed that right away on hot hot water. Worst diaper ever. Not worse than the time I shot poopoo on mommy... but close, just in a different category. So here I am, we had to change clothes.
This poor seat cushion is the second most chewed on thing here. First is my hand.
After this and mommy eating dinner, we went to the commissary to grab a few things so that we wouldn't have to do it tomorrow morning. Our schedule was a little changed, but I did ok-We got back around 8:00, mommy changed me, I sucked down a 7 ounce bottle, was still fussing so she made me a 3 ouncer which I drank most of (yes mommy is in disbelief too, but eh if it helps me sleep... I wouldn't drink it if I wasn't hungry) and we talked for a little while and I practiced standing (I can stand with support now) and then went to bed a little before 10. Mommy hopes that more food and a little later of a bedtime tonight will help me to sleep in tomorrow... and help me to prepare for the time change on Sunday which Mommy is NOT looking forward to since we lose an hour!

I hope you have a really really really good day at work today.

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