awake, blow-outs, carousel

-
the last few days have been a little tiring.  last week, c decided she was going to switch to 1 nap a day.  the transition was going okay. then came saturday night.  poor little c woke up around 12:30 am (i guess that makes it technically sunday morning instead of saturday night).  the poor thing was covered neck to toe in seriously smelly poo.  an hour later, a relatively clean c was back in bed.  yuck, that was definitely an experience none of us ever want to repeat again. 

we (as in j) finished phase 1 of the treehouse.


we went to the zoo.

c rode the carousel for the 1st time.  it didn't seem to be quite what she expected.



we had church friends over for a bbq.

we cleaned up, sat down to finally blog, and then c awakes (again --- this is not a fun trend)

and away we go again...

c demonstrated (or attempted to show) her independence a lot this week.  she wanted to eat by herself despite not being able to wield silverware effectively.  she wanted to go up AND down the stairs by herself (which we're not quite ready to do --- she's still pretty wobbly and easily distracted so we're trying to give her a little more space with a 2 or 3 step head-start).  she figured out how to stand up on her own and stay standing without support.  she then discovered dancing & bouncing was more fun when not holding on to something (even if it did lead to a few extra falls). c discoverd the fun of a very old rocking horse. she discovered signing gets her things, but she seems to be a little confused on what they really mean 'cause she'll do "all done" directly followed by "eat"  while she's still eating.  she likes to do "all done"  while getting her diaper changed.  that hasn't really worked out for her though sin...

we spent the week recovering from m's tummy bug (when m goes down, everyone has to deal).  m never wants to get that bug again (especially not while c's still in diapers)!  we took it easy, and all are feeling better.  we hung around home, enjoyed some sunshine and a dusting of fresh snow. c got her 1st true lesson regarding newton's laws of motion and frictionless surfaces.  she had a great time until an overexcited dog bowled her over, which didn't really phase her much since she seems to want to go outside to play all the time now.  unfortunately, it's muddy now & m doesn't want to wash clothes after baby c crawls through the mud!  once she learns to walk, we'll be spending a lot more time outside. c's been busy perfecting her newest phrase, "uh-oh."  she greatly enjoys dropping everything simply so she can say it over and over again  we're trying to teach her that chucking things across the room doesn't really create an appr...
