Day 194

Dear Daddy,

Today I got up so so very late... mommy woke up late even, and then had Evie taken out and fed, laundry started, and my breakfast ready by the time she went in to get me up. When she went into my room, this is how she found me... I was snoozing hard! Mommy doesn't think I look very comfortable... but I must have been.

Mommy has moved the footstool up from the wall so that I can't crawl back there, because I'm smart enough to crawl over or around my bumbo and move the pink ball. Since I think I am so smart, though, I tried to squeeze in between the couch and the footstool. It didn't go so well, and I got really upset.
I teethe on everything.
Here I am sneaking between things again...
Today's dinner was very exciting. I'm kind of behind on the whole "picking up food by myself" thing-because mommy was both scared I'd choke, and then so particular with what I ate-that she started giving me the opportunity later than she should have. I have been having a hard time with puffs-I can pick them up, sometimes aim them at my mouth, and maybe once or twice have they actually gone in. Mommy backed up and got the biter biscuits, wheels, and veggie puff sticks, and I can do those just fine... so tonight mommy moved to macaroni. It took me quite a few macaronis to actually make it in there... but I did eventually, and did really good the rest of the meal!
reeeally trying to shove it in...
So happy I did it!
Then I got really really cranky really early tonight... I had a huge meltdown while mommy had to sew a couple of things. As soon as she was done (and it only took like 5 minutes, but I made a huge deal of it) mommy changed me, got my jammies on, and gave me a bottle. I was in bed pretty soon after we locked up the pool tonight, and went right down.
Happy anniversary to you and mommy... I am glad you got married, because then you got me!

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