Now This Is Cool

I've been trying to get through to mommy and daddy that I'm bored as all get out lying here watching my mobile day after day. I mean really, I'll be 3 months old next week. Ok, they got me these cool Baby Einstein DVDs so now I can sit in my bouncer and watch one of those in the morning. I like em ok, but they're not long enough. And I can only sit in front of the Christmas tree for so long, smiling at the lights.

Whoa, did I get a surprise yesterday. I finally got through to them. My activity mat arrived and I'm pumped for it. I cried a bit at first - didn't want them to know how excited I was. Sadly though, I couldn't stop from drooling at all the cool stuff on that thing. There's even this thing that helps me get out my frustrations and strengthens my legs at the same time. I heard them call it a kick plate or something. All I know is that if I kick it hard some really cool sounds happen that make me laugh. Mommy seems to like hearing me laugh, so as long as I'm having fun I'll keep that up for her.

My only problem is that I'm so interested in everything that I get tired, but I don't feel like sleeping during the day - something good might happen while I'm snoozing. But the parents are insisting I nap during the day, so I pretend to be sleeping. I'm really thinking about all the pictures I saw in my books. I don't know what any of them are, but the colors are so bright now. Wow, did you know that if you smile at something that the parents will continue to let you look at it longer? I found that out when we went out to see the neighborhood holiday lights. Now those are colors.

More of my clothes have disappeared. I've heard mommy say something about a baby recycling box, and that I'm too big to wear them now. I don't get it. I like some of those clothes. Oh well, different ones show up to replace them. Ahh, I'm sleepy - better have a nap.
