Day 200

Dear Daddy,

Wow... I can't believe it has been 200 days since I last saw you... it seems like forever ago.

I got up earlier than usual today, and mommy dragged me in bed with her to drink my bottle because she felt awful. Unfortunately I wasn't very cooperative, and it was a fight to get me to eat.

One thing I did good with today was drinking out of my sippy. I'm finally really getting it, and actually drinking more than a few sips. I was being really lazy with it this morning, though, and drinking it on the floor like a bottle.
Mommy thinks that I am about to get another tooth, or this one that is coming in is being a monster. I am chewing on EVERYTHING. Everything includes my crib rail (well the padding on there that mommy is eternally thankful she put on there), the foam corner protector on the tv stand, books, all of my toys, your DVDs if I get to them, the canvas bins my toys are in... and the knobs on the TV stand. Mommy does not like the last one especially.
Mommy figured out a good way to get vacuuming done quickly: by putting me in the laundry basket. She hurries and vacuums one side of the room, then moves me and all of my toys and does the other side... and I am too mesmerized by the vacuum that I don't even move and climb out of the basket like I normally do.
Today I fed myself peas! I didn't eat too many of them, but I did a good job anyway. (Do you like my crazy hair? When I got up from my nap it was all crazy... mommy just left it because we weren't going anywhere.)
Today mommy mixed my tofu with cinnamon applesauce. I liked it a lot, and ate the whole bowl! Yes this is the third day of tofu... but mommy wants to use it all and not have to throw any out. We still have a few days of it left!
Apparently I think I can get some formula out this way...
I love you, daddy, and I can't wait to see you.
Love, Maya
