Day 101

Dear Daddy,

What a nice surprise when I woke up to you talking to mommy this morning! We've missed talking to you... and I miss seeing you. We hope your internet gets fixed soon... it's been a long week, and mommy is starting to get really crabby.

I ate peas again today, and loved them again. I ate them with a lot of enthusiasm and with a lot less mess than yesterday (today didn't require a bath, thank goodness).
Then I was cuddling with my ball... or something like that. I'm silly anyway.
Mommy had to get diapers and wipes today... like most babies, I discovered that I LOVE playing with the boxes!
They are especially tasty.
After dinner, we went on a walk.
Aren't my flip flops cute? (and no, that isn't a cut or anything on my foot-I had my feet crossed and mommy uncrossed them for the picture, my flip flop must have left a mark)
Now look at mommy's feet... halfway through our walk her flip flop broke. She was so embarrassed walking the rest of the way home with one shoe on and one shoe off, as people passed us by. Jeesh she's good at breaking flip flops.
Back at home, I decided to practice my gymnastics routine.
Here's my new sippy... it has a softer spout. Mommy put it there on the floor to entice me to scoot over to it.
I saw it...
(well, I saw it along with my oatmeal)
(mommy took the oatmeal away before I threw a hand in the bowl)
yaayy! first time going for it and I grabbed it just how I should.
Mommy had to help me take a sip... but this one worked a LOT better.
I like to bite it, and then get a mouthful, and then it gets ALL over the place. Look at me! Can you see it trickling?
I just wanted more... mommy will let me play with it tomorrow. I was really fascinated.
Then it was time for oatmeal.
I made such a mess... I was SO sticky and SO gross at the end there was no way we were going to get by with just cleaning me up. So... I got another bath. I have a feeling I'll be seeing the bathtub quite a bit in these next months.
I had a bottle, which was very hard to do... my mouth hurts so much. I fell asleep on mommy, and she let me sit there for a bit because I never ever do that. And she thought I was cozy. And then I went to bed like such a good girl tonight (mostly probably because I was half out of it already). Hopefully I sleep good tonight... the past few days have been rough.

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