Sleeping

My Mommy got a parenting magazine and do you know what it told her? That I needed to sleep more. What?!? I don't want to sleep more. I want to sleep less and PLAY more! I am not sure what silly baby is the source for this article... some snitch. It turns out, she is kind of right. I have been feeling better since I have been going to bed earlier. It turns out that I can wake up at my feeding times (9:30 pm and 5:30 am) and still get fed and put right back to bed.. Woohoo! There is one problem though - I am in there for about 12 hours. I get kind of lonely! Mommy has a cure for this, too (I think she also read this in that same article). She has a lovey for me. It is a cute lil penguin. I love to squeeze and chew on him! I also love it when I find him in the middle of the night when I'm feeling especially lonely. I holler and holler and then Mommy comes in, gives me the penguin pal, pats my bottom and I am back off into dreamland - at least for 20 more minutes or so (then we do the same thing again).

I'm also trying really hard to say words now. I have the "mmmmm" part down for Mama, but can't quite figure out the "a" part. For "dada", I am kind of saying "p-p-p-p". I guess you gotta hold your face just right to get those sounds right.

I really love music. I get a hold of Sissy's radio and play with it all the time. I especially love the alphabet song. Whenever Mommy is doing something that I don't particularly enjoy (changing diaper, putting clothes on) she sings this to me. The best part is that Sissy and Daddy know it too! I really love it when they all sing it to me. Yesterday, we went to hear someone called Ruditoonz sing and play the guitar. He was fantastic!! I was mezmerized by that guitar. How wonderful that you flick on the strings and out comes music! Mommy said if I loved it so much, she was gonna have to learn how to play.  Good idea, Mommy. :)

Love to all -
