Sweet Baby Deak

I want to blog this sweet memory before I forget it in my jumble of Mommy thoughts.
Baby Deaky is 9-months-old, so he isn’t really talking yet. He is starting to be vocal, and it really seems like he wants to communicate. I am not the kind of Mom who gives a running commentary about every thing I do all day. I actually have to make a conscious effort to include Deaky in what I am thinking about or doing, such as “Oh, you must be hungry. Let me open the cabinet and get you some food to eat.” That doesn’t come naturally to me. I know in my head that babies can understand a lot, but since they can’t talk, I tend to forget to include a baby in conversation.
I’m trying to be better about it. Of course I love my child, I’m just generally absorbed in my own thoughts.

Last night Deaky woke up ready to face the day at 3 am. His diaper had leaked and his pj’s were wet. I changed his diaper, changed his clothes, put a new blanked over the pee-pee spot in the bed, nursed him, and tried to get him back to sleep. He was still ready to play. I kept saying, “It’s time for night-night. Night-night Deaky.” Finally I laid him down in his crib (next to my bed). He cried for a little while but I could tell he was still laying down. Finally he said, “Nie-Nie!” In a very pitiful, resigned-to-his-fate kind of voice; then the crying stopped. I had to stifle a laugh, as well as the urge to elbow my husband and say, “Did you hear that?? TEE-HEE!”
Nick and I talked about it this morning when we woke up. So cute! Little Deaky is learning to talk!
