I slept through the night last night! I was so tired after crying for about an hour before finally passing out. Mummy had gone out and, well, I just wanted my Mummy and she wasn't there, so I cried. When she got home I was asleep, but she picked me up and cuddled me and let me have a nice, warm, cuddly drink. I woke up just enough to snuggle into her and drink, then fell asleep again when she put me back to bed. It was very nice. Then I woke at quarter to seven in the morning, so that was pretty good. But I hope she doesn't go out again.

I'm really wanting Mummy at the moment. I watch her wherever she is in the room, and smile whenever she talks to me. This arvo I was on Daddy's lap watching Mummy, when she went out of the room. I was suddenly stricken with the thought that I wouldn't see her again, and I burst into tears. Then she came back and I stopped crying. Then she left again and I cried again. Then she came back into the room and I stopped crying.

Daddy fed me my rice congee today. I wasn't really paying much attention to it because Oskar was making such a racket I kept looking at him. And when he was quiet I was looking at Mummy. So I randomly opened my mouth and sometimes food went into it, and otherwise it went on my chin, or dripped on Daddy's knee or on my bib. It really took ages and I was pretty happy to finish because I really wanted a drink. I kept my eyes on Mummy in case she left again, but thankfully she stayed around.

I remember why I wanted her around: because she doesn't put me in the bouncer without the belt on! Daddy plonked me in it today without doing up the belt and then disappeared with Oskar. I looked around and saw my toys out of reach, so naturally leant towards them and toppled straight out. I did a sort of forward roll with a twist so that I ended up on my back, lying in front of the bouncer. And I screamed. Daddy was a bit mortified and cuddled me, but Oskar thought it was pretty funny and spent a good bit of time imitating what I'd done, including the crying bit. He sat in my bouncer and then did this elaborate fall and roll and came out with a really put on cry. I didn't think it was that funny.

I love it when Oskar plays with me though. He carried me around a bit today by holding me under the armpits and staggering about. Daddy was hovering nearby and Mummy was looking kind of alarmed from across the room, but I smiled up at my brother and let him move me about. He also fed me some congee yesterday and today. I liked that too.
