Week 15

Every week, I do something different and new which makes it very exciting for Mommy and Daddy!  Daddy busted out some new toys for me, like my Bumbo chair and bouncing seat.  I like both!  The Bumbo helps me learn to sit up and sometimes I get frustrated because my arms don't clear the sides of the chair and get stuck.  Although the bouncing chair is fun, my feet can't touch the floor and unless Mommy puts the rings on the toys, I can't really reach the toys on the actual chair.  But I never cried going into either and am sure I will enjoy them more once I get bigger.

I have figured out how to put my thumb in my mouth much to my Mommy's dismay.  Sometimes I take the pacifier out of my mouth and stick my thumb right in!  Mommy tries to put the pacie back in but I got her beat....thumb wins!  Usually my index finger goes over my nose as I suck my thumb.  Mommy thinks that I will be right-handed as well.  I always go to grab things with my right hand and suck on my right thumb!   Anything I grab goes straight into my drooling mouth!

Another thing that I am starting to do but that my parents don't really appreciate is that I arch my back and throw my head and arms back when I get angry.  Its a nice added touch to the already high-pitched, loud, crazy cry that I have when I am pissed off!  

I started to visit my new babysitter, Marisa.  I will be going to her when Mommy goes back to work on November 3.  Mommy is truly sad to be leaving me.  I guess I am pretty sad too because when I went to Marisa's house twice last week, I screamed like crazy both times because I didn't really know her that well.  Mommy stayed with me both times so that I could get to know her better.  The first time, I screamed every time Marisa held me or came near me.  The second time was better.  I played with her, let her feed me, and let her put me to sleep for a nap.  Mommy is hoping that next week, when she brings me a few times without her, that I will be better!
