4/12/12

Alayna ate of her blueberries and a little over half of her cinnamon raisin English muffins at breakfast.  At lunch she ate most of her canned chicken on crackers and all of her potato salad and her canned cherries. 

Baby Nora just loves Alayna (and all the kiddos).  This morning Alayna walked by and and just looked at her.  Nora instantly started reaching out to her, smiling like crazy and making sounds to get her attention.  When Alayna realized it, she immediately stopped and went over and talked to her and played peek-a-boo to make her laugh.  She really likes it when any of the babies respond to her. 

Alayna didn't cry anymore after mom left this morning, but she was quite out of sorts and extremely testy -- pushing on the kiddos, trying to take toys, not listening or cooperating until we "helped" her and so forth.  She is still testing now (1:10).  She hasn't been to sleep yet and I have had to go to her and lay her down five different times so far. 

Alayna was doing lots of belly flops and face plants on the mattress.  Sometimes she does it because she is entertaining someone or trying to make them laugh.  Other times no one else is close and she still does it and laughs at herself just as much as if she had a whole audience.  : ) 

There was big crow in the tree across the street from the big window today.  The kiddos were banging on the window with their hands and yelling at him trying to scare it away.  He didn't even seem to notice.  When he finally did fly away (several minutes later) Alayna started laughing and said, "We did it!"  : )
