8 months

18-24 month hat fitting my melon just right
monkey face seems to be the theme this month

I like this chair and the food that accompanies it

Still working on teeth. Just started eating 2 meals a day (breakfast & supper). Nursing 4-5 times each day. Working on a 7:00/7:30 bedtime. Still taking 3 naps most days. Reaching and grabbing everything very quickly. Quietly observing when in a crowd. Starting to express dislikes when tired i.e. nose sucker, arms in sleeves, being laid down to change diaper. I love for someone to fill up my shapes' pail with toys so I can dump them out. I love to hold my spoon and suck my two fingers between bites of food. I love my grape generic tylenol and will cry sometimes when the syringe is empty. That's all I can think of right now folks, just enjoying the stationary life!

Brain vomit

Choosing to wallow this evening. It's been awhile. Not sure why I feel so grumpy. No one thing has set me off. Just layers of stuff from the day. Adults abusing and neglecting kids. Kids living what they've learned. Mothers having baby after baby, each one taken away while infertile women cry and plead with God for just one. Burnt out coworkers. A teething baby. Scratchy contacts. Fatigue. Wanting to do something nice for someone but being ignored instead. False guilt. Misrepresentation. Self absorbed people. Self absorbed me. Taking a deep breath. Saying a prayer. Feeling better. Getting out of the way. God, do your thing in me.

Monkey face

Nana coined this expression "Monkey face."

I make it when I want something or when I anticipate getting something
Like a spoonful of food or a toy you are holding in front of me

I get real stiff, wrinkle my nose, and let out a little excited huff or two

It's a little strange
