A look into our world

Mommy just realized that we haven't updated you on my sleeping patterns these last few days. Well, after the good sleep-through-the-night night early in the week, I kept going pretty good. I woke up at 4:00am a few days and 5:00 one day (going back to sleep after eating). The night before last night I slept from 8:30pm to 6:00am! Mommy loved that one. Things were going really great until last night. Mommy's not sure what happened cause I woke her up at 3:15 and again at 5:15. She wasn't very excited about it. She told me it's a good thing I'm so cute cause this getting up 2 times in the night thing sure is the pits! She's hoping it was just a fluke and I will go back to sleeping through most of the night anyways. We'll see!

Here are some more pictures of me smiling! Sometimes I like to ham it up real big, like in the second picture. Mommy thinks I'm so cute!

The other day I was playing on my hippo mat while Mommy was getting herself some breakfast. This is how I started out playing, and then Mommy heard a big jingle from the toys so she came to investigate.... And this is what she found! I had kicked the arch down and turned myself sideways. She's not sure how I got sideways and wished she could've witnessed the "playing". Grandma keeps saying that Mommy and Daddy are going to have to watch out cause I'm going to be all over the place!

Some of these pictures are blurry, but they were so cute that Mommy thought we should post them. If you click on the picture, it will make it big so you can see it a little better. This week I have started smiling very big and very often. I sure like smiling! Once I get going, I'm pretty funny. At least Mommy, Grandma and Grandpa think so! Mommy keeps saying, "your Daddy is going to love these smiles!" I can't wait to see him again so I can smile so big at him! He will love it. I miss you, Daddy! Can't wait to see you in 3 days!

Mommy told you earlier that there would be more pictures of me playing on my hippo mat...well here they are! I really like using my legs to play on my hippo mat. This is the progression that I did over and over and over again...

First I started out laying there looking at the toys.

Then I pulled my legs up...

really really far so that my feet would hit the toys...

and then after I hit the toys with them, I threw my legs over to the side of the arch. Sometimes I could get them back down, but sometimes I got stuck and Mommy had to help me. What a fun time I had playing on that hippo mat!
