I woke up at 4:00 and had a bottle with Dad and then went back to sleep until 7:00 — exactly the same thing I did last night. Mom had pumped right before I got up, so I waited for about an hour until breakfast was ready. I had another snack about an hour later and then took a nap before going on walk.
Our first stop was Duane Reade, to pick up some toilet paper. Then we headed to Central Park, weaving around the softball fields on our way to a shady spot in the Sheeps’ Meadow. After a while, though, our shady spot was no longer shady. Luckily, Mom brought an umbrella to keep me cool. When we got ready to go, I decided to show my newfound power as a 3-month-old and I completely rejected my stroller. Mom put me in and I screamed so loud that she felt uncomfortable being in Sheeps’ Meadow — an official “quiet area” — with me. So, she ended up carrying me in one arm and pushing the stroller in the other, all the way home.
We had awesome tummy-time, where I finally conquered my big head and lifted it completely off the ground. I still need to learn how to use my arms to support my upper body, but hey, one step at a time. I took a bath right after tummy-time (I spit up all over myself) and then spent a bunch of time playing with that new giraffe that I got the other day.
Unlike yesterday which I pretty much slept away, I was awake most of the day today. Dad got home a bit earlier than usual and played with me for a while. I pooped in the middle of one of his games, though. I guess that means I won.
Apparently he read somewhere that I’m supposed to start developing my sense of smell, so he got nine spices out of the kitchen and held each one up to my nose. I was pretty unimpressed with most of them, except the sage, which I immediately tried to shove in my mouth (and I am sure I drooled inside the container!). I ate a couple more times and then turned in for the night around 8:30.
