Day 62

Another day, another play session! Mika was up bright and early again. Its getting regular for her to be up at 8AM, which is a Good Thing! Means she gets two morning naps and sometimes even two afternoon naps. Now that she's napping for shorter durations, it's good that she increases the frequency. Mika is the grumpiest baby ever when she hasn't had proper sleep. She's downright evil, in fact. We had some good smiley playtime today, but for the most part Mika is very serious. She always looks so determined and focused. She has yet to learn patience at all. At least Mika amuses herself for longer periods now in the various play locations or swing. At the same time, when she does get lonesome, she gets really lonesome and you can't put her down for awhile.
Auntie Jenn came over this afternoon! Mika seems to really dig Auntie Jenn...always a good visit. She came bearing gifts of frog booties and toys. The frog booties suit Mika so well because she's started doing this frog kick thing when she's on her tummy. The toys are kewl because Mika's just starting to get really into them. We visited G after DaddyR got home from work. No pics of them together this time again because Mika was being fussy and its hard for us, let alone G to handle her when she's like that. G could hear Mika loud and clear though. G always thinks Mika is being stuck with a pin when she screams. She tends to forget that Mika's diapers use wraps and velcro and snaps and whatnot to close. Ah well, she's 103, she allowed.
We went for a walk for about an hour or so when we got home. Mika fell asleep during the walk, which was the plan. What wasn't in the plan was her waking up a block from home and remaining awake for another hour or so after we got home. Mika gets us every time.
