Meme visited the past few days and came up with the idea of circuit training. Since you sleep *way* less than the average baby (although you slept from 10p until 4:30a last night - wahoo!!), we are always working on finding new ways to engage & entertain you. I even bought 2 books about games to play with babies! You have a "texture box" with things I gathered from around the house (a fake peacock feather, some twine, a soft piece of a blanket, a (clean) sponge, etc). You look at the textures and we talk about them and I let you feel them (Meme thinks that is a little odd and she didn't include that activity in your circuit training :) Circuit training did consist of:
1. Sitting in your new Bumbo chair while playing with various toys that we hold.
2. The play gym (of course!) You're starting to make the connection that your hands can hit the rattles and make them move - so much fun to watch!
3. Tummy time - both on the homemade doggie-shaped pillow from Ms. Kelly - and flat on your tummy (most recently on the homemade quilt made for you by Ms. Jane).
4. Lying in your crib watching your firetruck and dalmatian mobile (we talk about how your Grandpa Mike used to drive fire trucks!)
5. Rocking in the recliner reading books and staring at the fan (one of your favorite activities!!)
Your very favorite activity continues to be your play gym (you'll play under there for 20+ minutes!) Your least favorite is tummy time and you're a bit indifferent about the Bumbo chair.
You spend hours per day doing circuit training :o)
And then today...in the midst of circuit training, I started acting silly...and you GIGGLED!! It was the best sound I've *ever* heard! You were laying on your back and I was doing push-up like motions with you kissing your cheeks and face...and all of a sudden, your huge smile turned into a giggle! Amazing! I managed to get it on video and your daddy and I have watched the video many times this evening.
I don't know that there has ever been a more loved baby in all of history!
