MILESTONES: Freedom

Mommy noticed that I don't like to be held all the time anymore.  I like to be put down on the blanket on the floor so I can practice rolling around and I like my playmat where I try to grab the hanging toys and knock down the block walls Mommy builds for me.  I also try to sit in my Bumbo seat but I can only handle for a couple of minutes.  I can also hang in my swing and watch TV.  It's relaxing.  Of course Mommy's always around to make sure I'm not getting myself into trouble.

I'm hot and my gums hurt

 What? It's 7 a.m. already? I don't wanna wake up!

Dear Tutu,

I've been having spiking fevers this week.  Spiking meaning I get all hot at daycare enough from them to take my temperature.  I went all the way up to 102 degrees one day.  They would call Mommy and she would leave work to pick me up early. But by the time she would get to the daycare I already cooled down.  The pediatrician said nothing was wrong with me -- no ear or sinus infections --  both times that I visited her.

Mommy and my teacher Ms. Tammy thinks I might be teething.  I've been drooling a lot and I like to suck on my whole hand.  A couple of my fingers does it too.  That's probably why I don't look so happy in my pictures. Mom had to dig into my wardrobe for short-sleeved onesies for me to use instead of the long-sleeved fleece ones.  I need a tan.

Love, Alia

p.s. This is me and Mommy after a long day of screaming and crying.  We're exhausted!
