Dear Daddy,
Today my day started nice and early-5:30. I was pretty in and out every 10-15 minutes until a little after 7. Mommy was very unhappy, especially after yesterday's 8:00 wake-up. I was particularly fussy this morning-I couldn't really decide what was going to make me happy. I didn't really want to play in my jumperoo, I didn't want to watch any of my videos.
After awhile I took a nap in my swing. I slept for almost an hour, and when I woke up I woke up in a little bit of a panic, but then mommy peeked around and looked at me and I smiled big at her.
I stayed in my jammies most of the day since we weren't going anywhere till nighttime and it was just rainy and icky all day anyway.
This afternoon I fell asleep-for the third day in a row-at 12:50. Today I was in my boppy watching TV so mommy said oh no no no and put me in my pack and play. Halfway through my three hour nap, mommy started hearing me make funny noises... she thought I might be playing in there, so she went in to look at me-and I was crying, without sound, in my sleep! I was kind of crying and gasping for air, having a bad dream. It was terrible and mommy was so sad watching me. She tried to gently stir me, as to wake me a little but not scare me, and it worked but not for a little bit. I had crocodile tears coming out of my eyes and everything... it was terrible!
I went back to sleep after that for a little while and then got up at 4 to get ready to go with mommy to grab some things at the commissary and then go to her meeting. I just wanted to be a silly girl and talk the whole time! I got a bit bored, but I guess you can't blame me... I'm only 5 months old! We got home close to 9, I snoozed on the way home and when we got back I had no interest at all in sleeping. Mommy tried to feed me to top me off so I wouldn't wake up in the middle of the night, but I wasn't interested-over the next hour and a half I was pretty fussy and generally unhappy with the world. I didn't go poopoo today and mommy wonders if that is part of my problem, so she gave me some gas drops in hopes that that will help my tummy. I fussed and fussed and fussed and wouldn't go down, and you know that that is usually never ever an issue... I finally went to sleep at almost 10:30. Tonight might be an interesting night.
I love you, daddy, and I can't wait to see you.
Love, Maya
