Baby Steps

This morning Daddy left me in the kitchen with Bailey to go talk to Mommy who was getting ready for work in another room. During their conversation Mommy noticed how quiet the house seemed. She decided that it was a good idea to go check it out. Upon entering the kitchen, she saw Bailey wrangling cereal and a baggie for her breakfast on the go. Mommy asked Bailey where I was, to which she replied; “He’s right there,” looking down at the floor. However, I was not right there. I had plans of my own. Mommy headed into the foyer with Bailey at her heals. Mommy peeked into the laundry room on her way through the foyer. There was no sign of me! She began calling my name. No answer! Mommy continued up the stairs calling my name and scanning the family room for me, or evidence that I had been in the room. The light from Daddy’s office was casting my shadow into the hallway, the sound of my hands and knees slapping the floor could be heard coming closer and I was answering; “wha, wha, wha”. When I saw Mommy’s face, I squealed with delight. She lifted me from the floor and I hugged her neck tightly. Leaning around Mommy I called; “Da, Da, Da,” to Daddy who was standing on the landing looking farely dismayed. I excitedly told him, “kuuu”, which means that I was just trying to access OUR computer!

Again, I slept from 9:30pm – 4:30am and this time my parents seized the moment and got some needed rest. Of course, they bragged to me about how proud they were to encourage me to continue showing off my independence.

Sleeping Beauty

I am now eleven months old and I slept through the night for my first time ever. Mommy and Daddy were in such shock and awe that they had a restless night. They got up twice just to check on me.
