Last Saturday was cousins weekend at Debbie's in Farmington. I decided to leave you with daddy and go up with out you. I was sad to leave you but actually really enjoyed myself. I did get a little sad near bedtime as I was looking at all the pictures of you on Auntie Soni's phone. It was weird to wake up Sunday morning on my own and not to your noises! I of course called home a lot to check on you and daddy. He did a fabulous job with you and I think it was really special for him to spend one on one time with you. I even decided to take advantage of being on my own and did some shopping at Mall of America on Sunday. I didn't get home until 4 o'clock. I was very excited to see you. Daddy had gotten a lot of laundry done, made soup, fixed the dishwasher and of course taken great care of you. I was so appreciative!!! He even realized the reason you fuss sometimes shortly after starting your bottle is because you get the equivalent of an ice cream headache. He warmed up your bottle a little and it went a lot better. He was very proud of himself for realizing this.
Auntie Soni is continuing to love taking care of you! She is very sad that it will soon be over. She has also done a great job with you and you will always have a special relationship due to the month you spent together. She does consider you HM at times (high maintenance). I would have to agree! he he. You are at such a active stage where you want to look at everything and touch things and of course put EVERYTHING in your mouth. It is very fun but also a lot more work as you attention span is somewhat short. We have to alternate between your swing, jumperoo, bouncer, bumpo and activity mat. And sometimes just the floor!!! Right now you are on your activity mat in the living room at Grandma and Grandpa's in Little Falls. They were both very excited to see you as it had been at least a month. You even sat by Grandpa in his hospital bed. You of course gave him lots of smiles.
You continue to eat a lot. Still about every two hours!! And now you are up to eating 5 ounces every time. You are still sleeping good through the night but this week you were wanting to get up around 5:30 which was little early for me!!!
You haven't rolled over yet but area getting close. When I put you on your stomach you lift your head and chest up really high as well as your legs and sometime will roll about 90 degrees to one side, but still get stuck on the inside arm. You aren't in love with being on your stomach and will squawk and screech if I leave you there to long. You now also love to do leg lifts where you lift your legs straight up in the air and then slam them back onto the ground. Last night I realized that you do this in your sleep too as you were sleeping right next to me in your pack n play.
Well tomorrow is Thanksgiving and most of the Maurer clan will be here. I am sure you will be a hit! I will try to take some pictures to put up here.
Loves you!
You and Grandma in your PJ's!
Four month picture-you keep growing!!!
Sitting with Grandpa Bernie in his hospital bed. He got a lot of enjoyment out of you!
