I woke up a bit later than usual today (perhaps because I slept a bit late last night) which was good for Dad (more sleep!), but sad because I didn’t get to see Mom before she left for work. I hung out with Dad and he gave me my bottle before Nana took over around 7:15. She made sure to give me the last of my bottle at around 7:40.
I still had a rough time with my digestive system, which is definitely frustrating Nana — I think it’s really hard for to see me crying! I had a cube of apricot with my oatmeal and had a slightly more comfortable diaper after breakfast.
Dad went to a doctor’s appointment and then to a meeting most of the morning. I spent most of my morning playing with my Brainy Baby Logic Box and building a tower of blocks only to knock it right down.
I took a really good nap and then Dad fed me lunch while he ate his own, giving Nana a pretty nice break in the middle of the day. He read on the internet that avocado was good for constipation — so he gave me half an avocado as my finger food!
Dad went back down to work and Nana and I went for a nice long walk to Wicker Park, reminding me of last fall when we used to go almost every day! It took me a little longer to fall asleep in the afternoon, but I got a good hour of sleep.
I woke up in a terrible mood — one of the worst I can remember. I cried and cried until Dad put me in my high chair and tried to feed me into a good mood. We started with the other half of the avocado, which was great, but dinner went downhill from there. My new food for today was spinach, which I didn’t like at all! I kept trying to spit it out, but Dad tricked me into eating it all. To get back at him, I refused to eat the pureed carrots that I used to like. I didn’t eat a single bite of it despite his trying every trick in the book.
By the time I finished eating it was just about 7:00 and Dad didn’t even put me down to play with my toys. Instead, we went straight upstairs, put on my pajamas, read my book, and went to bed.
