Today was good but a little tiring. Gabe woke up at 6:30 and was ready to eat, so I fed him and he went back to bed pretty quickly, and slept till after 9! So that was nice since I didn't get to sleep till midnight-ish. But he was back to his normal 45-minute naps and refusing to sleep any longer than that, and he was Mr. Cranky Pants a few times today for no reason. He also wanted me to be with him pretty much all the time. Right now he's in his swing and is content with his pig toy, but pretty much all day if he was awake, I was holding him or playing with him, cleaning up spit up every few minutes because he does NOT sit still! I am honored that he enjoys me so much, and I enjoy him, but being the ONLY one around to entertain him gets pretty exhausting. Plus, my wrist has been hurting more today. I've been trying not to use it as much, but I have to use both hands to pick up Gabe, and there's not many tasks that I can do with only one hand.
We went for a walk this afternoon and that was nice. Gabe had fun looking at everything. I put him in the big stroller without his car seat so he could sit up and face forward. He enjoyed watching cars go by and just took everything in.
Oh, and we had a couple of "fun" changing sessions. When I was trying to change his clothes because he had spit up all over his first outfit, he kept trying to flip over to his stomach. It was pretty annoying. He succeeded a couple of times and would just sit there on his hands and knees and I'd flip him back over and fight to keep him on his back while I finished clothing him. And then the last time I changed his diaper he did the same thing. You know, it's really difficult to fasten a diaper when the child has his butt up in the air. I actually raised my voice a little and he didn't like that, but it didn't stop him from trying to flip himself. I eventually won, and stood him up and he was as happy as could be...weird child.
We have about an hour before bath time and bed time, and I think he's getting tired of his swing so I'm off to see how I can please him. :-)
Oh, and nothing got done about my room...I just looked at all the stuff and thought, "There's no where else to put it!" So I just left it and maybe will try again another day. :-)

And here's a fun video of Gabe practicing his tongue trick. :-)
