New Tricks

Abi had fun with Mommy’s & Daddy’s friends tonight.  Several times people waved at her, and she seemed to wave back.  She also really seems to like Alan.  She put her hand into his outstretched hand.  Also, when Mommy was holding her next to Alan, she leaned forward into his direction, making clear that she wanted to go to him.

Mommy’s tired

Abi was cranky this morning, and only slept for about 15 minutes once Mommy put her down for her morning nap.  Mommy then took her for a long walk (about 4 hours) which included lunch for Mommy.  Abi was cranky at different points, and wanted to be held and eat often.  She may have just been thirsty.  Mommy fed her in Arlington Center (twice), at Isis Maternity and on the Minuteman, and was tempted to do so on the way home.  Mommy & Abi spent some time on a park bench in Arlington Center watching all the action around them.  Abi enjoyed this.  At one point, while Mommy was holding Abi and trying to maneuver the stroller, Mommy turned her head away from Abi.  When she turned back, some woman had her face in Abi’s face, cooing at her.  Abi is a people magnet.

Abi cried on the way home but was happier when Mommy picked her up. They got home around 4.  Abi ate twice, and is now finally napping.  Mommy got to take a shower and finish an email that she has been working on for three days.  Friends have now come to visit Mommy & Daddy, and they look forward to a relaxing night.
