Sleep and Motility


Last night, rather than keep mom and dad up, I decided to go to bed right around 8. I did fuss some, just to make sure that nobody forgot that I was still a baby (I need to capitalize on this before my time is up), but I was basically willing to go to bed early so the old timers could get their beauty rest. Yesterday afternoon, using my powers of mind control, I manipulated Mom into buying me the coolest toy ever created .. an Exersaucer 2000 Turbo. This beauty has a rotating turret and all kinds of birds and cows n' stuff hanging from plastic polls that dangle like Christmas ornaments and rattle. It has all sorts of accessories that chirp and buzz, and it's all made out of highly colorful plastic, which adds a touch of elegance and class. It's awesome and dazzling and I'm sure it will be the talk of the complex. I can't wait to play in it tomorrow.

Also, yesterday during my designated tummy time, I lifted my head up really high and kicked, and guess what?? I moved forward, just a little bit. I think there might be something to this lifting of the head while kicking thing. I can see the distant potential for it increasing my independent forward motility... I definitely plan to investigate during my next session.

Dear Auggie,
I am enjoying your bloggie - but how about crawling before you start walking? I realize you have big plans n' stuff - but just to fit in - you might consider doing the crawling thing before walking - like the way you tried to walk to the store today - it's a longer way than you think. Also - can you please consider trying the bottle thing? It is just a stop gap measure until Mommy gets there - it might prevent meltdowns - give it some thought. Glad you are enjoying your Exersaucer Turbo 2000 - could be a testimonial gig in the making there.
Love as Always,
One 'o' yer Grandmas
