B.R. 6/10/08

As per usual the baby awoke an hour earlier than I did. Quite horribly I refused to get out of bed when she returned to wake me up, and to show her displeasure the baby took it upon herself to curl up on the pillow next to my head. I think her butz may have been pointed towards me, so I was quite thankful that she didn't poot. Anyway, I should have listened to the baby because had I listened I would not have overslept by an hour. Whoops. After scrambling out of bed, I fed the baby but not before she guilted me into a game of fetch.

Then later, upon my return home, the baby again guilted me into a game. However, she was somewhat lackadaisical about chasing down the toys, which led me to believe that she must've just woken up. My suspicions were confirmed by her frequent yawns. The baby must've been catching up on her beauty sleep during my absence. Hmm. To wake her up, I took the baby on an early evening stroll. As indicated by our route, the stroll turned out to be somewhat abbreviated because (1) it was still quite hot and humid so I didn't want to overexert the baby, and (2) the ground was still warm to the touch. On the way back I took care to walk the baby on sidewalks with lots of tree-cover as well as grass (even if it took us through a slightly busier route).

Live baby update: After an abortive attempt to get me to play, the baby has taken to her pillow and has shut her eyes. A short while ago, we were playing her new game of tip-the-glass-for-treats as demonstrated below.
