10 months and 2 weeks

So daycare has finally become a fun place to go! We were nervous there for a couple of weeks, her first few days were very "fussy". At home she happily plays on the floor, entertaining herself with her toys and chasing Nanook or picking Nanook fluff off the floor...but at daycare she seemed to not like being "alone" at all. Not that one can be alone when there are 7 other babies walking around you all day, but whenever one of the daycare workers walked away she would cry like she was in pain. No tears, just complaining about being alone. But Friday, Wednesday and today she was great. Socializing with the other babies, smiling at anyone that came in the room, crawling all over the room instead of sitting in one place and was apparently trying to share her food today.

At home she's been great too. Happily downs her dinner at night then goes to bed without much fuss and sleeps until we wake her up in the morning, unless it's a day when she doesn't go to daycare then we let her sleep in a bit.

It was funny getting her to bed tonight though, I went downstairs and did a couple things then sat on the couch watching tv/listening to the monitor and it sounded like she'd gotten something hard and was running it along the bars of her crib. I gave it a couple minutes, partially thinking of what the heck should could reach from her crib, and after it not stopping I went upstairs. Sure enough, there's the monitor receiver hanging from it's cord down between her dresser and her crib. She had grabbed it by reaching over her bumper pads, through the crib bars and up on the dresser. Fortunately we had made it so the cord was nice and short, it would only move a few inches so she couldn't do much with it. Anyhow, it's safely tucked out of sight on the dresser now, hopefully "out of sight, out of mind"...I guess we'll see tomorrow!

Baby number 2 is getting more active all the time. Much time has been spent kicking/punching mommy's tummy lately; I've really been feeling it the last few days. I'll move around and do a few things at work, then when I sit down at my desk baby starts moving all over the place. It's generally really neat to feel, but every now and then it can make me feel quite nauseous...but more fun that bad.

Anyhow, it's getting late for someone that has to get up at 5am for work, so I should sign off for now....

Anna signing off while Naomi catches some z's, Nanook lounges on the patio and pumpkin is rolling around trying to get comfy...
