Whiney spurt?

You’ve been SUPER whiney lately little one. Like, obnoxiously so. You whine all.the.time.

You are also fighting naps. I think you are getting closer to crawling, because you like to “swim” on your tummy and kick your arms and legs a lot.

It can be so frustrating, because I know you are tired, and you refuse to sleep. I wish I could figure out what to do, but until then… let the whining continue? I hope not for long.

This was when you hadn’t slept in over 7 hours. It was your “oh but mama I’m still oh so cute and innocent even though I am completely exhausted but refuse to sleep”face.

At the same time you can be so incredibly sweet.. see?

You are into EVERYTHING. You want to explore, explore, explore. You especially want to explore anything you know you shouldn’t be in to. It’s so much fun! :) Actually, I love watching how you are growing and learning every day. You are so smart!

“Mama, what’s in this package?”

“Hairbows AND Diapers Mama?! How YUMMY!”

You don’t mess with your hair bows when I put them on you. That’s quite the miracle, because as soon as I put socks or tights on your feet it is your one and only mission to get them off. You have never tried that with your bows though. :)

I can’t leave you for a second without you getting into something. We’ve installed a gate at the top of the stairs to keep you from rolling down them. I went to the bathroom, and when I came back and I didn’t see you right away. I freaked out for a second, and then I found you.

You had rolled under your Step & Play Piano and were playing with the keys. You were so happy and content. You could have cared less where I was, you were just so content. I love that you can play by yourself, but at the same time I don’t want you to grow up too fast.

You were so happy! (Really, you were)

I love you sweet princess. You are my love.

Love always,

Mama
