Favorite Things: Anything fabric. You love putting things in your mouth and your clothes and blankets win out over stuffed animals and toys every time.
Special Talent: It's fun to be with you. You love to grab things and will take toys when I hand them to you.
Favorite Pastime: Sitting in your bouncy chair. Now that you understand the entertainment of toys you can sit there for a good hour and watch me clean or play. You also love playing with those toes of yours. You often grab your big toe with a pincer grasp and hold on for dear life, whether you're looking at your toes or not.
NickNames: Alaska Paska, Punky Poo, Alyeska
Sleep: We're almost there. You wake up once a night and not always do you need to eat. Your favorite place to sleep is the swing and it is convenient for me to wake up for 10 minutes and rock you back to sleep without even having to move you. I can usually count on a 3 hour nap a day in which I catch up on 'my time.' You get a little fussy around 4 or 5 and take a 15 minute cat nap to get you through until 8.
Crying: We can go a whole day with you just being picky about being on your tummy.
Dislikes: Long walks. I like to walk for 2 hours. If I can't get a good sweat in then I can at least build up some mean endurance. You last about a hour before you start to tell me to pick up the pace and then the last 45 minutes are torture for both of us and you bewail your fate.
Likes: Baths. The weather has been getting warmer and in the early evening before bedtime at 7:30 or 8 you get a little fussy. I fill up the sink with some cool water and plop you in and let you sit for 5 or 10 minutes, sometimes not even bothering to wash your hair.
My Favorite Part: Your excitement over a bottle. When you see me shaking the formula you smile and kick and get so excited.
