Special Talents: Inching slowly towards things. Gracefully letting yourself down from the sitting position. Using your pincher grasp to get pieces of grass off the living room carpet or getting strands of hair from the hall carpet when I set you there while I get ready in the mornings.
Favorite Pastime: Being outside. When you get kind of cranky before bed time we go outside and just sit on the lawn. You like to run your fingers through the grass and taste weeds that I give you after shaking the dirt off. Don't judge me. You're gonna have to get your germs from somewhere, may as well be natural. I am for sure not going to spoon feed them to you, but you gotta get them from somewhere. And seriously, all of the dirt it shaken off.
Nickname: Alaska Paska. It is stuck now, be grateful it isn't anything embarrassing.
Sleep: You sleep in the crib just fine now. All through the night starting at 7:30pm to 7am. Your naps have been given a severe kick in the pants due to all our vacations and all of everyone else's vacations. You slept when you could in the car and now that we've been home for a week by ourselves you tend to take a short 15-30 minute nap in the morning and then a longer 1-2 hr nap in the early afternoon.
Crying: Not so much now that you can move yourself around. You do tend to need more attention lately and let everyone know it, but we really don't mind. We love playing with you.
Dislikes: Being in a room by yourself when you don't know when we're coming back. It's like you can hear a certain pattern in our footsteps or something.
Likes: Being held and played with.
My favorite part: You are the perfect size for hugging and kissing. Your cheeks are big enough now so that when I kiss you my nose doesn't poke you in the eye and your are just big enough to squeeze hard and not have to worry about breaking your little body.
