Another great day in your world! I can't get over how happy you are...all the time!!!! I love your smiles and contagious joy! You love to play and socialize. We have been wrestling a lot, tickling, kissing, chasing, making funny noises, and playing like silly willy boys. You are so much fun to play with! Your face lights up with smiles and we charge and chase each other in crawling position until I grab you or you climb over and wrestle me laughing. When our faces are close you grab my face with both hands pull me close and plant a giant wet one! Good kisses!!! Your reactive responces and interpersonal skills blow me away! Your communication, sense of humor, and playful spirit seem like a toddler not a 7 month old baby!
You have been exploring the whole house, hero's dog food bowls, plants, stairs, cd's, Mommy's glasses, Daddy's crocs, etc. You have certain places you can pull yourself to standing (besides the unattractive cardboard box I put in the middle of the room that you and Duma love to climb) and you do a circuit to play at each "station." It's amazing your vibrancy and delighted spirit. You take in everything and graciously give out glee. Incredible, since you have been having the hardest time sleeping at night. Last night was probably the hardest night we've had. You were up every 40 min from 7-3:00am then every 5-20 min. From 3-6:00am. We finally woke up for the day at 6:00am and you were happy to be up and started right in playing and climbing!?!! I don't know what's going on but in the night when I came to get you you said, "maa ma". And I felt how much you wanted me and only me as I held you in my arms and you fell back to sleep.
You could fall back to sleep in my arms but were waking up when I replaced you in your crib screeching and crying standing up for me. Poor baby! You had your three naps today. Two half hour naps and one one hour nap. Very little sleep for a growing baby and yet you have so much energy, pep, and cheerfulness! I hope your getting enough rest angel! I prayed so hard last night for you and for me to have strength, endurance, and patience. God is so good! I am bounding with energy even after a week (months!) of sparse clips of sleep. I am excited for your Daddy to have off tomorrow and put you down for me. Sometimes you fight sleep so much and your Daddy is great at getting you to sleep. Tonight I got you down to bed (in about ten minutes) yeah! You woke 30 minutes later and I put you down again. And so, we go. The night shift begins! I can't thank you enough for being such a fun loving baby. You are a hoot and a half to be around and make me crack up laughing several times a day. I love you my baby stardreamer!
