Hi Socha,
A couple of new things in your life:
You've been really going to town on your "Brain, Cognition, and Development" book.
You seem to love the noise it makes when you squeeze it in your hands and you love to chew on the pages and rip them apart. It's mostly in pieces now and you've managed to cough up a few bits here and there. I think it might be time to take this "toy" away. Luckily, the BCD lab has sent us a new book (that we'll try to keep in one piece) to continue reading to you.
Yesterday, your Dad and I took you for an afternoon walk, all bundled up (or so I thought) in your stroller. Well, I really didn't bundle you up well enough for how cold and windy it actually was, so when we got about as far away from our home as our walk was going to take us, you got really mad because you were so cold! Welcome to winter! You really haven't experienced true cold yet (until yesterday), so I'm not surprised that you really didn't like it. Your poor hands, feet, and cheeks were frigid when we got home. And you were so upset you couldn't even nurse for a while. Chalk this one up to inexperienced parents... Luckily, after you had a turbo nap on my lap, you seemed to forget all about being cold and being mad at us for making you cold. It's possible you woke up in the early hours of the morning last night because you got a little chilled too - temps outside were in the 20s and your room didn't stay very warm. Sorry again. We'll do better. I've already got the snowsuits out and won't let you go outside without being truly bundled up. Yes, I tend to overcompensate after making a mistake...
In the last week or 2 you have started standing up in your crib. In fact, trying to put you to bed when you are in any way awake means that we have to convince you that when you are as tired as you are, trying to stand up in your crib is not a good idea. You've bonked your head from falling a few times now. But you're pretty amazing - pulling yourself up to standing and shrieking with glee! And you're using all the real estate in the crib to roll around and sit up and stand up and stretch. And you're definitely not quiet about it - most of the time you're just talking to yourself about how cool it is to be sitting up/standing/rolling/etc. You only seem to cry when you realize that you ARE actually tired but you don't want to go to sleep.
I'm so not ready for you to be mobile.
