36 Weeks: Everything is fun with you!

Dear Ashbee,

Everything is fun with you! You are so interested in the world around you. Watching you react to new things and new people brings us so much joy. You are so mobile now- I can see how this development is going to make for two tired parents quickly! You want to be on the ground crawling and playing all of the time and you want mommy to be there with you all of the time!

This week was pretty low key. You made a new friend at the gym. She was born five days before you were, she cries at day care the entire time just like you, she has the same pacifier as you, and she even goes to the same pediatrician that you do. We couldn't believe all of the things you two have in common. When you first met her she could wave hello and you couldn't quite do it yet. Within two days of meeting her you were waving at everything- I think you wanted to keep up with her and so you quickly figured out how to wave! I'll have to get some video footage of you doing it. You like to wave at your stuffed bear first thing when you wake up from a nap. It's so cute!

This week while you were taking a bath you started trying to crawl around the bath and kept trying to lay down in it. I went to take your picture and you started to lay down and went under water. I went into Mama Bear mode and threw my phone on the floor and grabbed you and flipped you over on your tummy and started hitting your back to get you to cough up the water. You proceed to do so and then started crying so hard, it just broke my heart. I held you for a few minutes and then when you calmed down I forced myself to put you back in the bathtub, because I didn't want you to be scared of it. I was so nervous as to how you'd react, but once you were back in you were so happy to be there. You are quite a resilient little guy and I'm so proud of you!
Wondering why I'm making you wear this silly hood!
