A bumpy day

Nov 27 - I woke up around 10am today since I stayed up so late last night. Mommy had started getting to Christmas lights up outside but came in to peek at me. I heard the door and sat up and looked at her, smiled a big smile, and crawled over to her. She changed me, and fed me and then we were off to Walmart after saying goodbye to Daddy.

We needed to get more Christmas decorations since some of the lights weren't working. Mommy let me pick a few new ornaments for the tree that we will be putting up soon. We also had to run to Ace Hardware. We got back home and after eating again it was just about time for my nap. Mommy didn't want to be stuck inside while I napped in her lap so she put me in the car, turned on the radio and gave me my giraffe blanket. I was asleep not too long after that. And I slept for almost three hours! Mommy was pleased since she was able to get all the lights up in that time.

When I woke up Mommy took me inside and I ate again. Now it was time to play. I played on the dining room floor while Mommy and Daddy sat with me. I played on my activity table. I played just about every where that I am allowed to play (and some places I'm not) and with everything I am allowed to play with (and some things I'm not). But as it got later I started to get uncoordinated. I was scooting my block across the floor and lost my balance and fell face first into it. It got me right by my eye. I cried. Then later, I was watching Mommy play Wii and was sitting on the hearth pad and lost my balance and rolled off of it bumping my head on the floor. I cried. Then, later, I fell off the hearth pad again, again bumping my head, and again, I cried. Each time, Daddy picked me up and soothed me and then Mommy held me and then I was off to get into something else. I am usually very graceful but today was an off day.

I played with Mommy some more on the floor. I used her to stand up and then let go. As I was standing there, Mommy rolled away and then told me to walk. I took one step and then fell. Again, Daddy didn't turn quick enough. I just have to keep practicing so Daddy can see me. I have also been saying mom-mom-mom a lot so now Mommy isn't left out when I say da-da-da.

I only had one nap, that one in the car, so when I told Mommy that I was tired at 8:30 Mommy got excited and got me to sleep. But it was a light sleep for an hour and then I was up and ready to play again. Mommy wasn't pleased. It wasn't supposed to be a nap she told me. Oh well. Mommy put me in my crib a little after 10pm and I went to sleep like a good little boy.
