Day 179

Dear Daddy,

Today actually went by really fast, for a change! That rarely happens, but it's very welcome when it does.

We got up (late) but still made it to church (early, actually). I was such a silly girl there, making all sorts of funny faces at everyone and talking up a storm.

This is what I wore today... aren't I so pretty?
When we came back home, I began to act like Hurricane Maya. Mommy had to put the things in the bowl chair (that she can no longer put on the floor) up high so I couldn't get them! Right before this I was lifting my legs like I was trying to figure out how to climb up there... I just didn't get it. So thankfully that's one thing I can't terrorize for now!
Since I was silly and trying to do it anyway, mommy unlocked the base of this, moved the top and went ahead and turned it into a walker. I kind of understood... mommy had to show me a little bit, but I push it forward and take a couple steps... I only did it a few times but after more practice I'm sure I'll be a lot better at it.
But then something happened... I fell down on my bottom, still holding on...
And it kept going backward... mommy threw down the camera but it was too late, I fell all the way down on the floor and the red handle part hit me smack in the middle of my forehead. I have my first goose egg! I was NOT happy about it.
But I was such a trooper... I cried about it for a minute and then got right back up on it!
This is at dinner tonight... mommy peeled a grape and gave it to me. I loved it! I won't be having them often though-the whole peeling it thing got old after like 2 in the restaurant. I was a good girl when we were there (we went with baby Kenny and his mommy)-as long as I was being fed! I was an endless pit tonight-ate all of my sweet potatoes, peaches, ALL of my chicken-that has NEVER happened before! Then I had some cottage cheese and some puffs too... and I was still hungry so we went home and I had a bottle. I drank it all, if you can believe it, and then drank my entire last bottle of the day only about 2 1/2-3 hours later!
I fell asleep drinking my last bottle, of course. But somehow even though I was on my belly I managed to suck it dry!
After mommy got me changed into my jammies, she let me play for a millisecond... then it was bedtime for me!
I love you, daddy, and I can't wait to see you.
Love, Maya
