STACIA SNIPPETS
Eleven months old. I know Stacia is not unique. Tricia’s daughter is two days older than Stacia and doing the same things…but we take such delight in watching Stacia grow. This really is a huge blessing as 11 months ago I was NOT SURE I neither wanted nor could handle another child.
In the last few weeks she has discovered TOYS and real PLAYING. Any item can be a toy…even others’ body parts in a bath tub :::snort:::
She loves to try all sorts of food….for instance last night at dinner she had a few bites of pizza, a slice of nectarine, a teething biscuit, lots of grapes, a couple of artichoke leaves and the crust from a piece of bread.
She has begun to say a few things….a few days ago she picked up the phone and said “Hello”. THAT is her first word other than “mama” and “dad”. Last night I was changing her dirty diaper and she said “thank you” - everyone heard her and we got a big laugh out of it.
I’ve recently switched to cloth diapers. I bought a lot of diapers and wraps from eBay cheap so that I could try various ones. WELLL….the one she had on last night does not have leg gathers…it gapped. Zander came running and said, “Stacia is making a mess in the bathroom”. I ran. Do NOT read further if you have a low capacity for gross. Poop had fallen out of her diaper. She had it smeared around the bathroom, on her legs and around her MOUTH. GAG!!!!!! She ATE some. Oh man. I cleaned her up – squirted Tom’s toothpaste in her mouth and sat her in the tub. Zander joined her. She began to play and he indignantly remarked “Stacia, that is very, very rude”. I have some more tub stories but Mike has told me they would hate it if I put the stories on the blog in later years. I tend to think most boys don’t care and think those stories are funny….but maybe.
She is thinking about walking. She seems to consciously think “I could take a step – nah crawling will get me there faster” and plops down and takes off….but she has a ½ crawls/ ½ creep/walk type thing these days. She doesn’t want her knees on the ground…..so she plants her feet on the ground and creeps.
