Safety is so important.

The feeling of comfort and safety is tops on my list. That is why I love it when Daddy or Mommy hold me. That is why I tend to be a little anxious why Sissy is holding me – although she loves me (I can tell by the way she hugs me all the time), it makes me nervous because she isn’t much bigger than me. I’ve seen her flex her muscles too - they aren’t very big. In fact, I think I need to get MY magnifying lens out to see them. Anyway, back on safety. Mom had decided that I needed a bath the other day and she put me on her bed to get things ready. Mommy & Daddy’s bed is the ultimate place of comfort and safety – especially at night when I am lonely in my own bed and the shadows start creeping on the wall and I hear the howling meow of our scaredy-cat, Mindy. As Mom is getting the bath ready, I was my usual curious and wiggly self. I don’t know what happened, but the next thing I know, I’m flat on my back on the floor. It was like flying off of Mt Everest!!! I screamed as loudly as I could!!!! Everyone came running! Now, I don’t know what to think! I love Mommy & Daddy’s bed so much, but I am still scared about falling off of it. I cry out for them in the night, but I don’t want to go to their bed anymore, and I don’t think they fit in my crib (well, they might, but there wouldn’t be any room for my toys and I don’t want to give up my Woozit). So I just cry, cry, cry – just like Johnny C – all night long! What a state of delirium I am in! On top of all that, I have some weird feelings in my mouth again. It makes me pucker and rub my tongue on the top of my gums all the time. Life is getting pretty hard for this 7 month (almost 8 month) old these days!!

The good news is that I am sitting up on my own very well now. That means that Mommy puts me down on the floor more often and I get to play with toys in a basket. It is SO much fun – especially to chew on the basket handle. J Mom said she is sure it is filled with BPA and she is such a terrible Mommy – but I think she is the best Mommy I have ever had!

Love to all,
