Baby and Writing
Jan. 9th, 2014 10:44 amTuesday night Squiddle slept the whole night through for the first time ever! Midnight to eight a.m.! Alas, he did not repeat this venture last night. Tuesday evening he also thought Wonderful Husband and I sitting down to dinner was the funniest thing ever. He did not stop laughing for at least five minutes. Seriously. ^_^;;
Last night, my writing class started up again. Wonderful Husband and Squiddle came with me for the beginning of class so that my classmates and teacher could coo over the cute baby. Which they did. Me having been away for the last term, I got given the first slot, so I got read in class, and the submission was generally agreed to have been one of my stronger ones. Yay! But once I got home, I found that Squiddle had not been happy about being sans mommy for the evening, and had been taking it out on his daddy. Ah well. Squiddle will just have to get used to hanging out with daddy one night a week, because I'm not giving up my entire life in favor of mommydom.
And, today is Squiddle's four-month birthday! In celebration, we took him to meet his new doctor, who I think we quite like. The baby's pretty much on track for where he should be developmentally, and physically at the 90th percentile for his age. He weighs in at 18 pounds even, and is now 25 inches long. He also got his next set of vaccinations today, which he definitely didn't like, but his dislike of them was less than his dislike of the last set. At least in volume, anyway.
But for now the baby is sleeping, the laundry is chugging away in the washer, and I am going to put down my current book (The Story Of My Life, by Helen Keller) and edit my next ten pages to turn into class next week.
