Some kids grow clown hair as it comes in. It grows thicker on the sides before it comes in on top. Then there’s Piper. It’s only now growing in on the sides, which means she’s had a killer pompadour for a couple of months now. It’s awesome.
This is from Safety 1st, and they apparently don’t actually test their products with real babies.
And here is another kid on YouTube and if you watch the video, it’s same exact outlet cover from Safety 1st.
Piper likes climbing into the playstation. She’s into exploring in general, whether its the open door to the shower stall, the pantry and garbage can, or the stairs (have to keep that gate closed!).
I don’t know if all kids like to do this, but Sophie did the same thing at the same age
Her smile encompasses her whole face and beyond. . . .
Piper is very unique in her approach to everything she does. She keeps us guessing. Sometimes she loves the water. Other times, she screams when we put her near it. She didn’t like the big pool, and really didn’t like the little one either. . . .
. . . until I got into it with her. Nice.
For the first time ever. Pictures forthcoming!
We went to the Japanese Steak House for dinner tonight. I was a little bit nervous about Piper and her sleep schedule, but I went prepared with baby food, toys, markers, paper, and I hoped for the best. It was a success! Here are some photos from the evening:
Before we went out to eat, we spent the day at the beach on Isle of Palms. Unfortunately, we forgot the camera, but we really wouldn’t have had time to snap any photos between Sophie running towards the water and Piper trying to eat sand. I have to say that the beach may not be my favorite destination until the kids are a little bit older. . . .even just a year. Piper did love the water though. The problem with her is that she loves it so much that she crawls right into the water, submerged head and all. She has no fear. By the end of our trip, her eyes were bright red and puffy from the salt water and sand. However, after her afternoon nap, she was good as new and ready for Yamatos.
Life has gotten a little easier since the two squaty bodies can take a bath together. Bath pictures are the best!
(Notice how Piper frequently keeps her tongue over her new teeth.)
(Sophie is imitating Piper’s tongue.)
It was cold, but she loved it! She crawled towards the deeper water and splashed and played. We even dunked her. She enjoyed that the first time. . . .not so much the second time. I’m definitely going to have to keep close tabs on her at the pool as she gets older.
