It has been an eventful week this past week. My mommy and daddy are so proud of me these days with how well I eat my cereal. Now when I see the spoon coming I open my mouth wide and take big bites and open it again waiting for more. Every time I eat a spoonful mommy and daddy are so proud and they say, "What a big boy." So, I smile really wide because I get a kick out of all of the attention. These parents of mine are pretty easy to please if I get praised just for eating. I can handle that! Today I had my first taste of oatmeal cereal. My parents have been giving me rice cereal up to today.
The other big news is that now I'm on a "clock schedule" and I'm actually doing a pretty good job if I do say so myself. Here's my schedule:
7 a.m. - Wake up and 6-8 oz bottle
9 a.m. - Naptime
10 a.m. - 6-8 oz bottle
11:30 a.m. - 4 oz bottle
Noon - Naptime
2:00 p.m. - cereal
3:00 p.m. - 6-8 oz bottle
3:30 p.m. - Naptime
5:00 p.m. - 6-8 oz bottle
7:00 p.m. - Bedtime
Yup, it's a pretty good life. I occassionally wake up once in the middle of the night for a late night snack still. Like last night, I got up at 3 a.m. and Mommy came to get me. I was being fussy because I wanted to eat but instead Mommy tried to change my diaper. Then Daddy came in because he heard me cry and thought Mommy must have fallen asleep while getting up with me. Mommy thought Daddy was crazy -- where would she have fallen asleep? But, Daddy got a new cell phone yesterday so he stayed up and played with his cell phone while Mommy fed me. I thought this was a lot of fun. Daddy kept showing Mommy things on his cell phone and every time he did I would stop eating to look too. Very cool! Well, I usually go right back to bed after my late night snack, but I thought it was family play time with all of this excitement so I wasn't very happy when Mommy and Daddy left. I was determined to cry to let them know I was annoyed but I blacked out after a couple of minutes and the next thing I knew it was morning time. I slept until 8 a.m. which was actually 7 a.m. since the clocks got turned back. So, I was back on track even with the extra hour.
Mommy is studying for a big test this weekend so Nana came over yesterday to play with me. We had a lot of fun and went out for a walk and everything. Nana showed me all of the halloween decorations around the block. I sit up in my stroller like a big boy now so I get a view of everything. My favorite toys these days are my laptop and the monkey my aunt Suzy got me.
Okay, well I better get back to my schedule.
Love,
Adam
