Successful diaper change. Penelope is really happy when you lift her up like this.
Here are some vignettes from my visit:
Pom Pom had a cold during my visit. It's really a terrible thing to have a cold as an infant. You don't even know to how wipe your nose! In fact, rather than wipe your nose after sneezing out a bunch of mucus, you'd rather open your mouth for a taste. Truly a curious being.
This leaves it to the nearest adult to wipe your nose for you. However, Pom Pom is a free willed spirit. She could be smiling happily with snot all over her face one second, but the moment you touch her face with a kleenax to wipe it off, insanity follows. Head turns away, back arches, arms reach out, legs kick away, and Pom Pom screams. Every muscle she can control is activated to escape that terrible terrible kleenax. Pom Pom has her own designs for cleaning her face. If you hold her on your shoulder, her trick is to happy to bury her runny face in the crook of your shoulder and then wipe all that wonderful juice in the perfect arc across your shirt.
The solution: put a kleenax on your shoulder.
PP is learning to crawl. Not deliberately, of course. I doubt babies so purposely and single-mindedly pursue activities like an adult will try to say learn to swim. PP is motivated by the toy or computer immediately in front of her, and she'll try anything she can to move towards the object of her motivation. When PP tries to move forward, she pushes out with her hands and legs. Only her hands gain traction though and she ends up pushing herself backwards.
Babies have no memories. How can the PP be entertained by a toy for 20 min, get bored, then be returned an hour later and be entertained by the same toy for another 20 min!
