Amelia is just about to take off on foot. She can do it really well, as long as she’s holding onto something.

I think her car has really helped her out with the walking skills. She will walk all over the place holding onto our hands. Both hands right now, but I think with a little practice, she’ll be able to go one-handed, then on her own.

Several of her classmates at daycare have been and/or are moving up because they have started walking. Her teachers keep saying NO! They don’t want her to move up and leave their class. She’s a favorite.

There’s a first time for everything I guess and today was one of those days. It was a gross one too. She pooped in the bath tub. Fortunately we have one of those little plastic blow up tubs that fits perfectly in the big tub. That’s what we bathe her in. So most of the poo was contained and I managed to grab the thing and dump it outside. But it was the grossest thing I’ve had to endure as a new mom. Poop that disintegrated when it hit the water. poo infested water. Yuck!! Of course, I immediately had to call DH and tell him what happened. Because it was right after he left for work. Then I proceeded to call the grandparents and let them know what their previous granddaughter had just done. They thought it was hilarious and laughed. Of course.
