On Our Schedule

Bubeaner did so much better today.  He did not whine at all!  And he took his nap with minimal fussing.  It's probably because we are almost back to our normal daily routine.  We did sleep in a little longer probably because Bubeaner slept in my bed.  Yes, he wore me down last night.  However tonight he did not even protest when I placed him in his crib even though he was still wide awake.  And so far, he is still sleeping soundly.  

Today will be a challenge for Mom.  It will be the first time we sleep in different rooms since he came home from the hospital.  Bubeaner may not notice the difference, but Mom is having anxiety spells.

His dexterity and hand/eye coordination

have greatly improved in just a couple of days

He got this silly smile every time he got one in his mouth

Bubeaner enjoyed a (short) walk up and down around the area.  It was short because it's hilly and Momma is out of shape.  We enjoyed the beauty of the desert in the cool early morning before the searing heat of the day forces us into hiding.

We did make an interesting discovery today.  Bubeaner does NOT like bananas!  He eats, and even loves, some strange food and food combinations.  But he refuses to eat the staple food of babies!?!  He actually spit it out and then made gagging sounds even though he had nothing in his mouth.  The banana had barely touched his lips!

He learned to pull the string that turns the music on.... 

We have now memorized the song.

Bubeaner saw his aunt Pau last night on the webcam.  And this morning he woke me up saying "PauPau PauPau".  He repeated it all morning.  It appears that a week may be too much time away for the Bubeaner; he starts missing people.
