Last Sunday night, I woke up crying just before 10pm (I had gone to sleep around 8:45). My parents let me cry for about ten minutes then mommy came in to try to calm me down. About the time I would calm down, she would put me back in my crib, and I would start wailing again. This happened several times. She checked my diaper and I was still all dry so that wasn't the reason. I just could not be calmed down. Finally, she gave up and we slept in the guest room together that night. I slept quite well with my mommy by my side (but mommy says she didn't get much sleep at all with all my moving around).
Then on Tuesday night, I did the same thing at about 3:30 in the morning. This time mommy slept through hearing it on the monitor, but daddy heard it and woke up. After letting me cry for a while, he came in and rocked me. But, again I wouldn't go back to sleep on my own. Mommy finally woke up to all my commotion and said that daddy could go back to sleep since he had to work the next day. So, we again slept in the guest bed.
Fearing that they were allowing me to get into a bad habit, mommy and daddy have let me cry in the night and go back to sleep on my own. I've slept pretty well the rest of the week.
With NaiNai out of town (she's getting to play with my new cousin in Texas for a whole month), mommy has been a bit more lonely this week. We've made lots of trips to the grocery store, Wal-mart, Sams Club, etc.. because mommy says we've gotta get some time out of the house. It has also been fun to Skype with some family and friends this week.
I am adjusting to my new tooth and think another bottom tooth is on its way soon. I love walking around the house, holding on to mommy's or daddy's hands. I can almost pull up from a sitting position to a standing position on my own. I love standing on my own, holding on to anything my height (mommy and daddy are discovering that there isn't much around the house my height though). I am trying to decide if I want to bother with the whole crawling thing or if I'll just skip it and walk instead - I'm still trying to make up my mind (mommy says that's ok b/c I'm a girl and we girls get to change our mind).
My new foods this week included cauliflower, some chicken salad (mommy mashed some chicken for me and added a bit of mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon pepper - I really like the new exciting flavor of this stuff), and wheat bread.

Then, I get all lotioned up:
Next is reading time:
Then we say my night-time prayers, mommy rocks me and sings to me, and then puts me in my crib where I usually go right to sleep.
