Wow, they told us that when you were in this first year, every day would be like you were a new baby; but we haven't really seen that until now. Well, I should say it hasn't been as drastic--at least not for me. You are really beginning to manipulate your world now (including your mommy and daddy). It is so amazing to witness another human being just trying to figure out all the things that we take for granted as adults. One of your new favorite things is having us switch the lights on and off. Apparently this is both amazing and hilarious for you. You have also been enjoying every day objects. We laughed this weekend because we went to a music festival and brought all these toys, but the things you wanted to play with were our keys, Daddy's driver's license, and the umbrella! What's the point in toys?
So if you ever want to know, your first music concert was a blue grass festival called pickin in the pines. You saw Sam Bush as your first headlining act. Not too impressive maybe for you, but it was a good time.
For the most part, you are still a very mellow and happy baby. You've been taking "swim lessons" (really just 30 minutes of play time in the pool), and the other day I dunked you in the water. You didn't even cry. You just sputtered a bit and had this cute look on your face--but no tears. You still haven't quite gotten the hang of splashing, blowing bubbles, or kicking--and our lessons are almost over--but at least you haven't been crying!
Unfortunately, lately we have seen a less-than-mellow side of you. For the last few days getting a diaper change has oftentimes sent you into a fit of crying. It doesn't happy every single time, but it seems to be more than 50% of the time. It is really disturbing because it is a cry that we don't really recognize. Its not the "ouch" cry or the "I'm hungry" cry, or even the "I'm tired" cry. This is something new--but it is definitely not a mellow thing. I have no idea what has happened, but I hope it goes away soon. It is so terrible to watch the tears streaming down your face and have no clue what the problem is. Uggh. I hope we get over this soon. I so wish you could just tell me.
Oh one more new thing. This was really funny. So at the concert your dad and I were snapping our fingers to the music. Well when we looked at your little hands, it seemed like perhaps you were trying to snap too! You've done it since then --and its oh so cute. Of course we'll never know if you're actually trying to snap, but I know your dad will insist that that's what you were doing--so I may as well play along!
Ok baby girl. Time for mommy to try to get some sleep--you haven't let me get much of that lately!
Love you
Mommy
