Yes.... it's 1:45am and I'm awake... WIDE WAKE. That's what happens when you put the baby to sleep at 8:30p... and then fall asleep. Mind you, I'm on this four hour thing where I am not able to sleep for more than four hours at a time. It sucks but that is the reality.
Anyway, Toni's new stuff. So she recently has aquired some new acts. The picture above explains it all. She's found her tounge... maybe still finding it and has learned to Pppbbbttt! It's cute, it really is except that a lot of spit comes with it. haha... What's worse is when she's nursing and mid way decides she wants to ppbbtt. It's all over me. Little squirt. But it's pretty cool b/c if you do it first a couple times, she will follow... which is very exciting to me b/c she can try to copy you! So MAYBE she'll try to copy me when I say MA. yes... I'm still working on that one... dammit.
She's also aquired a bit of an attitude. Don't get me wrong, she is still very much so the sweet baby girl you know (if you know) but sometimes if you take something away from her that she did NOT want you to take away, she can throw a fit. It's like her world is ending! For example..
. this past Friday she had her second round for the flu shot, WHICH she did very well, and so the doctor let her have a lollipop. Ok... so the last time she got shots she picked a blue one out of the candy tin. That was sucha bad color for a drooling baby. So this time as long as she didn't pick blue i was fine. She picked red. Not a good idea either... for future reference. ANYWAY, so we let her have her lollipop and was she enjoying it!!! The first time she had it at her 6 months appointment, she had a few licks and was un interested which was great for me b/c the blue... yeah. THIS time at 7 months, she was really into that damn dum dum. So she was enjoying it and it was getitng smaller and smaller when it I thought, what if it breaks in her mouth? She can't chew those pieces much less swallow those sharp edges. So I decided to take it from her. Can I say, WOW? Holy crap. She cried so hard she had one of those silent cries that ended with a huge breath followed by another loud cry. She was quite unhappy... and that's an understatement. Another time, she was opening a Christmas gift from Junior's boss. It was wrapped and so we started an edge for her so she can rip the rest off.... which she did, but as e expected she was more into the paper than the toy it wrapped. I don't care if she plays with the paper, but she still likes to put everything in her mouth. So the paper went into her mouth and as it soaked and started to create pieces, I, again, decided that was enough of that. Don't want her swallowing small pieces of wrapping paper. And again, she cried and cried despite the new toy she just got. Luckily she can still be easily distracted so as soon as I got the toy out and showed her she stopped crying... but how long will that work?

Since we're on the topic of toys... and this is going to be Toni's first Christmas... Junior and I... well maybe more I, have gone a bit crazy for her. We got her one BIG gift, a couple regular gifts and some stocking stuffers. hehe... 
Junior was good with the one big gift and one regular gift... I just felt we weren't done. I mean hey... it's her first Christmas!!! Junior did make a good point though. What if someone else gets her something we got her? Well, that is why I keep ALL receipts until after Christmas... just in case. So anyway, what'd we get her you ask? Well for her BIG gift we got her the Fisher Price Kitchen. I'm really excited about that one! Sounds like it 
might be too old for her but it's actually geared towards 6-36 months. So thankfully that toy should last her a while. I can't wait for her to play with it! We also got her this cookie jar that talks when you put in different shaped "cookies" and colors and this musical drums that lights and plays music AND when put together can roll to motivate baby to crawl! I'm excited about that one too! Some stocking stuffers... links, hair bands, bibs, teething keys... can't wait! But just watch... she'll be more interested in the boxes and paper!
