It's spring now, although you wouldn't know it by all the snow that's been falling here! But I haven't been outside the house for a few days now, so I guess I shouldn't talk about the weather. The last time I was outside it was nice out! For the last few days, we've been home for Easter vacation. We've been baking and getting ready for the holiday.
I've been spending a lot more time awake these days. Mommy has a hard time keeping up with me because I like a lot of attention. My favorite thing is to talk to people. Mommy sat me up and took lots of pictures** of me talking and smiling. But when my parents are busy, I don't mind riding along in the Baby Bjorn and watching what is going on. Today I drifted off to sleep while watching Mommy mix up some banana bread. That's fine as long as they don't try to put my under my mobile or in front of a Baby Einstein movie. Then I know that no one is going to talk to me and I get crabby!
This evening, Auntie Dawn and her family came over for a PPP night (pizza, pop and poker). Auntie Dawn had a lot of fun talking and laughing with me for the first time. I was awake for most of the time they were here, wanting to get in on all the action. I got a little fussy and overtired. That's not like me because I'm usually just a happy baby as long as I get to lay down in my quiet bed and sleep when I'm tired. I'm sure I'll have a nice long sleep tonight, but probably not another 10-hour stretch like after the baby shower - just a more usual 8 hours.
** This is my Mommy's favorite picture of me. It reminds her of how I always beat my brother at a good round of "baby boxing." You can see us in the March album going at it in the baby gym. You can also see me cramming my fist in my mouth, which is something I do just to worry my mother that I'll start prefer it over the nuk.
