In March, Daddy had to go back to NYC for a week, for work, so it was just me and Grandma during the day. Daddy FaceTime-ed us every day to see me, but that didn’t matter much - I barely recognized him when he got back.

My teeth are starting to sprout: lower left is first! Now when I bite my parents, they really feel it!

One Saturday at the end of March, my parents tried to put me to sleep by myself. They read something about this method that has me learning to be alone. Didn’t work - I cried and cried and cried :(( They gave up and the next 2 nights they just stayed with me in bed till I fell asleep. By the third night, it was back to dancing with Daddy.

They got me a jumperoo. At first I didn’t know how to use it, I just played with the toys, but a week later, oh boy! Now i even jump around in the exersaucer!

I started biting. And I mean hey-I-just-got-new-teeth biting!

Got my second tooth. Now I like to sit on all fours and grab something with my mouth. Who needs a puppy with me around?

I love books, and by love I mean love to eat them. That’s what they’re for, no? I’m pretty sure I overheard Daddy saying he used to devour books when he was younger.

I started getting up by myself. All the cribs had to be moved on their lowest positions. I also like to sit up now, for once.

At the end of April I got another set of shots. Didn’t even flinch. That night Daddy stayed up late to monitor the weather (there were severe thunderstorms coming to our area) and when finally came to bed at 2am, I got up. So he had to keep me company for almost an hour, till I fell asleep again.

I like standing up in the bassinet, holding myself to the rails. Sometimes, I only use one hand. Few times, I forget about it and I let go…
