Weeks 12-13

I started only pooping every 3-4 days or so.  When I do, they are explosive!  Daddy appreciates that he doesn't have to change a poopy diaper every day but when he does have to, he needs Mommy for reinforcements! There have been a few times where laundry and a bath were necessary soon after the discovery of a VERY full diaper!  Another thing that both of my parents appreciate is the fact that I LOVE going in my crib, looking up at my mobile.  My mobile has rainforest animals that turn around and around.  It really peaks my interest, so much that I watch it for about 20-30 minutes.  I hang out there while my parents eat dinner in much needed peace and quiet!  I squeal in delight and talk to the my friends on the mobile!  I also like my play mat, but do not stay under it as long as my mobile.  I think it is still a bit too overwhelming but not as bad as it was before.  I am starting to swat at things with my hands but its not really coordinated and I get frustrated at times because I don't know what the heck is going on!   If something crosses the path of my hand, I can grab onto it, like my pacifier or the edge of my bib or my other hand!  I also like to talk to the animals on my play mat....Octotunes, my stuffed octopus that plays notes on his arms is my bestest friend.  I smile when I see him and coo at him all of the time.  Daddy plays it very well and I love it when he does!!

Speaking of the crib, I am establishing better sleeping patterns.  I usually eat between 7 and 8 p.m. and wake up once in the middle of the night to eat between 3 and 5 a.m.  Then I sleep for another 3-4 hours.  Mommy and Daddy really like that I am sleeping more through the night!  Something Mommy does not really enjoy is that I only want her to put me to bed.  When Daddy tries, I scream bloody murder!!  

I totally know who my Mommy and Daddy are.  Whenever I see anyone other than them, I study the person's face and watch them intently.  I can be a bit shy at first as well.  I studied a lot of new faces when I went to Rhode Island, my second road trip.  I had a lot of fun going to a pumpkin patch and apple picking with Alessio, Uncle Licky and Aunt Susie!  We slept over which also was a blast!

We had an appointment where I was suppose to get a skin tag removed but because of some scheduling confusion, I didn't get the procedure done.  It is rescheduled for the end of October.  Poor Daddy took the day off to be with me because he is such a great father.  But we had a nice day walking around a park in Larchmont instead!
