12 Months, Week 2
While I’m very happy Nora is starting to communicate in her own way, it’s also a little exhausting. She wants to be held a lot lately. And it’s hard not to pick her up when she holds her arms up, hands up wanting you to pick her up. Then when you go to put her down, she gets mad and starts the crying. Oh geez. Tim and I are trying not to coddle too much. She has to learn frustration and that she can’t always get what she wants.
I was happy she got to spend 4 days with Dada last week while he was burning his vacation days. She played with only one-nap-days for a while - oh boy!
Reading your recent posts reminds me of your dad at around this age. Thumbsucking with a piece of ribbon involved for added soothing. Took the Baby Jesus from the nativity for a ride in his truck, forgot and truck & passenger were put away with toys. Meanwhile Eileen was trying to solve the mystery. Hey, my six year old grandson shot all the (unbreakable) nativity figures with his NERF gun this year. So play on Nora, you are part of an interesting family!
