Wednesday, December 19

Things are good. It seems like Spencer is really trying to say some words now. He was super clingy for awhile tonight and threw a fit whenever he wasn't hugging me. It lasted for about 5 minutes. He's doing really well. Really truly understanding everything and responding immediately even when I don't think he's paying attention. I told him to put something back today and he immediately turned around and did. He's starting to want to be the center of attention which is the next step in progression I guess. Maybe that's what the clingyness was about tonight?

I have an appt with Dr. Heather tomorrow. My mom cancelled again for tomorrow. She's still sick.

We went to the Y today. Spencer was great. He fussed for literally less than a second. It seemed he felt obligated to whine, but wasn't really feeling it. Rachel screamed the whole time. They had to come and get me. Luckily I hadn't planned on working out, just sitting with a cup of coffee and enjoying the quiet, so it was easy to pick up and leave.

She crawled a couple of inches today. And she is pulling up on my hands with her own strength. Today she was on her belly and she put her hands on mine. I raised mine a few inches and she lifted her knee, put her foot flat and pushed up. Wow!!! And she almost got to sitting on her own. If I'd entered the room a minute later, she probably would have figured it out in her crib. I've been showing her how the last few days. When she was on all-fours tonight I moved her hand forward and she moved her legs to match. But she was not happy about it. Strange. She was rolling around the playroom today too. She was all over the place.

Mike is well. We played some more WoW tonight. I wasn't playing well though, so we quit early.

I haven't been sleeping well. I've got some work to do and I want to get to bed at least on time if not early.
