Mireya is changing so much, so fast. She is growing and getting bigger, but her personality is changing too. I have noticed that in the last few months she has become quite shy and she is getting more fearful of various things. She is much more wary around strangers and she takes longer to warm up to people. That's pretty typical of her age group I'm sure. The other stuff that she's afraid of here at home is what surprises me. She is deathly afraid of the printer. If it makes any noise whatsoever she starts to panic and if it spits out a paper, she starts to cry. We've tried to show her it's fine, but it never fails to produce the tears. Sometimes something I would never expect scares her and it's so sad to see that little pouty face! She can definitely be a bit of a booby.
She has also been having several nightmares a night for the last 10 days. It's so awful. She wakes up screaming and we have to soothe her until she falls back asleep. Normally she only gets a couple of nightmares in the few nights before a tooth pops through the gums. This time, though she is teething, I don't know why she's having so many nightmares. I wish I knew the cause, so that I could at least try to prevent them. :( I am having sympathetic nightmares of my own and Jason and I are losing a lot of sleep.
We had a family birthday party yesterday and one of my nieces (who is actually older than me) has a 4 year old boy, Alex. After Mireya warmed up and we had all eaten, she was toddling around and she and Alex noticed each other. They were so cute! Alex chased Mireya around while she giggled and squealed and he kept saying the funniest things! "Look! She's leaving!" "What a cute baby!" "She's walking, look!" "She hasn't gotten any bigger." They had so much fun. That was the first time Mireya has really gotten to play with another child. Poor girl is stuck at home with boring "old" people.
