4 Months!

It's October 19th and I'm 4 months old! A coupla months ago, Mommy had a little talk with me. She said things weren't working out too well, and that I needed to show some improvement or she was gonna take me to the orfnuj. I don't know what a orfnuj is, but I don't wanna go there - I wanna stay with Mommy and Daddy and Harvey!

But I guess I was being kinda needy and crying a lot and just not that pleasant to be around. So anyway, Mommy gave me 'til my 4 month birthday to settle in and work on my bad attitude.



So I stopped crying so much and started smiling a whole bunch - Mommy and Daddy really like that! I 'specially smile a bunch first thing in the morning during cuddle time with Mommy and Daddy - they call it the morning cuteness.



But a few days ago, I started getting really nervous about October 19th coming up. So nervous that I haven't been able to sleep much this past week - I've been up 5-6 times a night worrying 'bout October 19th and the orfnuj!



I was trying to figure out what I could do to make 'em wanna keep me. What with me being so busy playin' and poopin' and rollin' around all the time, it's kinda hard to find the time to do anything special. But I thought about it and decided that since Mommy likes the morning cuteness, I'd give her even more morning cuteness! And since I haven't been able to sleep much anyway, that worked out great. So, for the past few mornings, I've made a special effort to wake up around 4 am. I cry for a while 'til Mommy comes to see me, and then I bust out a big ol' smile! Then I stay up for over an hour, just smiling and "talking" (I make really good sounds!) and being really cute. Awesome idea, right???



I thought so, but oddly enough Mommy hasn't really seemed all that into it. But I guess it must have worked because today Mommy said that even though I'm not into the whole sleep thing and we've gotta work on that, I'm making lots of progress in cuteness and sweetness and funniness and they're going to keep me so I don't have to go to the orfnuj! YAAAAY!

Hmmm, I wonder if this means I should keep up the 4am cuteness sessions...
