Summer is here and we are having fun! We celebrated Daddy’s 27th birthday with a big BBQ, joined lots of friends at Grandma and Grandpa’s house for Memorial Day, went to Dada’s company picnic and welcomed your first first cousin into the world (we are so glad Jay is finally here).
You went to Durga Temple for the first time and were blessed
by the priests. You seemed very fascinated by all the shrines and altars and
didn’t make a peep while we walked around and prayed…this made Dada and Dadi
very proud. You wore the Indian tunic Dadi brought back from her trip to India
in January.
Winston has become part of the family (he’s your new monkey
pacifier that you insist on putting in your mouth all by yourself). Winston
helps you go to sleep sometimes. This month has seen a big change in your
sleeping habits. Now that you have learned how to nurse while Mommy is lying
down next to you, you want to do it all the time. Gone are the days of you
sleeping for 5-8 hour stretches, now you are waking up 5 times a night! We think
part of the change is a result of you refusing to be swaddled anymore. Sigh.
Like most babies, you love looking at yourself in the mirror.
You spend much of the day examining your hands, pulling up your shirt to show
off belly (I wonder where you get that one from?), babbling and putting your
hands in your mouth. It appears that you have begun teething. Sorry…that’s the
not fun part of being a baby.
What you do have fun doing is sitting in your bouncy chair
and pulling your bird ring to make it chirp, sitting on Mommy’s hip in a sling
and practicing going from flat on your back to standing by holding onto Mommy’s
fingers. One of your favorite things to do is to stand on someone’s lap (with
help). You stood in the grass for the first time this month and seemed
intrigued by the sensation.
The most beautiful sound in the world is your laugh. You
laugh very loudly when tickled on your ribs. But you also laughed out-loud at
one of Daddy’s jokes. You think Mommy’s bathroom joke is also pretty funny. We
are all so very smitten.
Know you are very, very loved,
Mommy
