Camp Is Fun… and TEETHING IS AWFUL

Dear Mom and Dad,

How are you?   I had another great day at camp, but Poppy had to work late, visiting some patients who cannot leave home, but need his help.   We did not meet Great Grandma and Great Papa as we usually do.  Uncle Nick too had a tough day, and well just was not up to do much of anything, and all the campers are pretty exhausted.   It was a weird day.  The past few nights, after I FINALLY GO TO SLEEP, Poppy and Nana have been working on a important stuff till the wee hours of the morning…

Speaking about going to bed… well, Mom and Dad, this is an issue… Nana calls my latest tricks…something from WRESTLE MANIA, you see I spin around crawl around bury my face over and over again and just won’t lay in my crib,it is more like a wrestling ring.   I have a wrestling match with myself  (and win) and I want Nana to stay and watch.  I don’t want to be rocked, I don’t want to be up, I just want her to stand by the crib and pat my butt…. while I roll and spin around… FIGHTING SLEEP, AND eventually giving in, but only afterI have exhausted myself.   It is the craziest thing… Nana bends over the crib and pats me for at least 45 minutes… and sometimes longer.   I don’t know if you have checked the Nana cam lately, but IT IS QUITE A SHOW…. I smile while doing it too, as if it too is a spectator sport, and Nana is my audience.   It is fun.. and like I told you yesterday… I like having fun with “no fun Nana”… she caught me grinning tonight… so she is on to my game.   I don’t care, I will most likely try it again tomorrow.   

Did I mention I AM TEETHING…. aaarrrgggghhh!

Here I am today… playing and feeding my self… it looks like I am just eating my hand, but I am not… I am actually feeding myself.  

Once I have selected which toy I want… I do what any TEETHING BABY WOULD DO….

Here I am eating puffs at breakfast!  And a whole bunch of me just being adorable…. being the “self feeding” princess at camp.   I know it doesn’t really look like a big deal, but mastering this feeding myself thing is hard to capture with the beast… I am really doing good though.   I pick them up, and even when they stick to my fingers, I am able to use my excellent motor skills to manipulate them into the little princess mouth.  It is exciting stuff here at camp, used to be I put everything but food in my mouth.   Now I can do it!  I am such a big girl.

Well, I have a quiet Saturday planned, hopefully I will get to see my Great Grandma and Papa tomorrow, or Sunday instead of today.   I hope Great Aunt Ida had fun watching her youngest grandchild skate at Joe Louis Arena, and I am sorry Poppy had to work. I bet it was awesome.   Love to everyone.   Until tomorrow, I am as always my mom and dad’s Little Miss Adorable, and sweet daughter,

Guillianna!
