I started to get somewhere about 2 weeks ago but mommy (
Meanwhile, I have a new nanny. She gets nervous when I cry so I cry more. She tried really hard to comfort me but the only thing that really makes me happy is when mommy leave the dark smelly room with the lightbox and comes out to play with me or feed me. She comes out and offers me food but I usually lose interest after a few minutes because really I just want her to be there. So, she sticks around and sometimes she tried to sneak away. Sometimes I notice and I don't mind so much because I caught one of the kitties and I am putting it in my mouth (they don't taste very good)...or I found something else colorful to eat off of the carpet or something.
But usually a few minutres later, I am cry so that mommy will come out of the office and play. The nanny tries to take me for a walk around this time without mommy. I like to struggle when she tries to put clothing on me or a new diaper (hate those things). I can tell this makes her nervous and she starts to make mistakes like putting my cloths on backwards or the diaper insideout. ha! Mommy doesn't get nervous when I cry. She just gets concerned.
The other day, she took me to the book store down the street for some sort of an event . Some lady sat in front of us babies and turned the pages of a book and spoke and showed us pictures. There were lots of books to put in my mouth but mommy wouldn't let me. She lets me put the books at home in my mouth? I showed off my ability to get somewhere. Some of the other babies could too. I thought I was the only one. We all crawled over the floor and I crawled up the leg of a stranger. Then I cried because I was feeling tired and I still can't figure out how to fall asleep.
I went home with mommy and somewhere on the way home, I mysteriously fell asleep. When I woke up, I was on the big mattress with mommy and we played for a few hours and I practiced saying ma ma ma ma mma ma ma ma ma ma over and over because it is fun. Then, my biggest and best toy (daddy) came home. He came in and picked me up and bite me in the belly and rolled around on the floor with me and talked to me in a funny voice. I tried to pull his hair (like I pull mommy's) but it is too short and all I can do it put his head in my mouth....Then he took me for a walk with mommy and we said hi to a lot of nice people and sat in the place at a table so they could eat...They gave me some sweet brown stuff that made me happy. Daddy made me mad because later he wanted me to go to sleep but I wasn't tired and I wanted to stay up to see what was happening. But, I ended up falling asleep anyway against my better judgement... angry at him. But I got him back by waking him and mommy up over and over all night long.
Mommy is looking a little pale this morning.
