Hi Everyone!
I'm 32 weeks old now and still growing big. My little tooth is all the way through now. It still isn't very big, and it is hard for other people to see. I've been smacking and chewing my gums like there is food in there. It is hard to get used to this new feeling of a tooth. Mom bought me some "Bitter Biscuts" to suck/gum. We were warned that they are messy, and boy are they! I like to eat them and they entertain me for several minutes. I have also tried crackers but I don't like them as much. I'm still working on choking down baby food. Some evenings I have been eating a whole jar, but other days I still don't want any.
I am also still having a hard time sleeping. Lately I've been waking up every hour until mom gives in and puts me in her bed. I am not wide awake in the middle of the night anymore though. (that stage lasted about a week) I just like to nurse and be with mom I guess. She has tried making me suck on pacifiers, but I HATE them and usually start crying if she sticks one in my mouth. I guess I'm being difficult, but hey...I'm a baby!! Mom said that she is going to buy me a "lovey" like Joey's snowman blanket and maybe if I get attached to that it will help. For now I am using a hand-me-down worn out lovey of Joey's. We'll see how that works out for me.
I did fall asleep on mom's bed last Sunday while she was getting ready for church. Dad turned on the ceiling fan and Joey was playing with mom's phone right next to me. I guess that the combination had some sort of soothing effect on me!
Yesterday we got to drive to Dayton to see Austin and go on a play date/Halloween party at one of his friend's houses. He wore Joey's frog costume from when he was a baby. He looked really cute. I just wore a haloween-ish outfit since mom thought I would be too hot in my costume. You'll have to see my blog next week to see what I am dressing up as. This weekend is trick-or-treat in town. Joey is going to go door-to-door and I am just going to sit in the wagon and go for a ride. I think that I get to help carve my pumpkin soon too. Halloween sure has a lot of activities for kids!!
I haven't waved any more since last week, so I guess that I am still working on that. I am also working on sitting up on my own, but for now it's still baby-crunches! I can't wait to get my walking papers and run around with Joey. He's always getting into something fun!
I think that is about all for now. I am going to go and try to nap on my own! I haven't slept all day!!!
