Ready for Snow!

Tummy Time Flipbook!

Sleepy Me

Lately my mama and daddy have been letting me nap in their laps sometimes. I seem to sleep well there, and I like looking at their faces while I'm falling asleep. 

Chatty Me Video

My mama took down the other video, but here's one of me being chatty where I am a bit more chaste in my state of dress. 

Feats of Strength

My parents know that I am strong, but I have been surprising even them these days. They often lean me against a pillow during diaper changes or to talk. I have been making little moves to sit up off the pillow. Last night during lights out, I made a major move pulling myself inches off the pillow. The biggest surprise was this morning. My mama was holding me after nursing. I was reclining, just enjoying talking to my parents, and then I felt like sitting up. I pulled myself up to halfway, wobbled for a bit and pulled myself up the rest of the way. Just for proof, my parents took some video this morning. Check me out!!!

Social Life

Had a social engagement today. Went to Uncle Raji's house to see Jonah. Got to see Lila and Amara too. Then we went to the cafe, and I met up with Meredith. I did really well. I ate and slept and looked around. I even pottied twice in the bathroom at the cafe and kept my diaper dry!

Bath Time to the Max!

Yesterday I experienced the two temperature extremes. I went out with the dogs to enjoy the snow in the morning. In the evening, I took a bath, but this time was special. First of all, it was impromptu. I was supposed to be napping while my mama took a bath and read her book. I woke up though, and my daddy needed to go to the bathroom. So he brought me in the basket so I could see my mama. Once she saw my cute self, she said I could come in with her! She tried to nurse me a bit, and I snacked a little, but I was distracted by my experience. This wasn't like my other baths because I didn't have to sit in that bath tub. My mama held my head, and I got to float around and look at things. It was so relaxing to totally let go into the warm embrace of the water. It kind of reminded me of another place I was before...

White Outing

Who would have thought that after last time's huge snowstorm that this one would be even bigger!? Check out the dogs leaping through drifts over their heads and Uma catching flakes on her face. What a beautiful snowy experience!

A Good Run

We went to my future friend's house for lunch today. I pottied before I left, but I peed a little in my diaper before we got there. My mama saw my diaper when we pottied as soon as we got there, but I had held in most of it and went more anyway. It was a good run. 

1-2-3!

...still counting. I'm at three days now. My parents have changed diapers, I haven't soiled one yet. ???

Re-Waking Life

Another video...more to come!

Sitting Pretty

I can now sit on the potty with my feet touching the ground and stay up on my own!

48 Hours

and counting...SERIOUSLY!

New EC Record

There's a new record that is still in the process of being made. So far I have gone since at least 4 pm yesterday in the same diaper...that's over 24 hrs. This includes me waking up after sleeping seven hours, eating, going back to bed for two hours and waking up again as well as napping for an hour, waking up and eating, going back to sleep for another hour and waking up again. Can you believe how long I waited to be pottied?! My parents couldn't. My mama can't remember how long before that I had this same diaper, probably since noon more or less. I'll keep you posted on the final count!

Crystal Clear

Communication is important to me. That is why I am so chatty. I have certainly stepped up the chattiness this past week. Seems like every day my parents say they hear a new sound escape from my lips. They just melt and sometimes cry, though I'm not sure why.


As you know my parents are communicating with me through signs. There have been advances in that area as well. The past couple of days I will look intently at the sign my parents are making. Sometimes I spend a long time staring straight at the sign, watching while my mama does a sign like opening and closing her fist (milk--like milking a cow). Today I looked and opened my fingers till they were straight and curled them back. My parents are positive these hand movements are anything to get excited about (though they do), but I am certainly aware that my parents are telling me something and I know there are different signs now too. I watch each one, but milk I know the best, and it's easiest. Of course, all this is when  am not so upset that my eyes are shut or I am distracted by my pressing need.

Modicum of Success

I have done it. I got my thumb into my mouth. I sucked on my thumb, sort of, for about half a minute yesterday and ten seconds today. Still, that is some kind of success, isn't it? My thumb is very small...
