12/21/11: C walking and peeing, and L santa

So today C had his first walking experience. Now, grant it, it was a short one but it was still him walking under his own power. I heard him whining a little bit at the kitchen table so I went over there to see what he wanted. He was just standing there trying to reach his milk. I gave him his milk, which he quickly started to drink from, and then when he stopped, he shuffled his right foot forward about an inch, then his left, paused, then moved his right again. At this point in time he could reach the chair so he stopped. YAY he walked... now it will probably be a few more months before he does it again.

Later on that same night it was time for C to have a bath. Sometimes he poops right before so I have to clean him off and then carry a naked baby to the bath. I usually put him down outside the bath and he stands there, holding onto the tub, jumping up and down while I get the water to the right temperature. The toilet is right there and that usually where I sit while I am messing with the water. This time, however, when I put him down I had to move something before I turned on the water. As I was moving the "something" (I cant remember what it was) I felt something hit my foot (I was wearing my crocks) I turned to look at my foot and there was C excited about his bath and peeing on my foot. I quickly moved my foot but the damage had been done. His pee had gone through the holes in my crocks and soaked my sock... yay for peeing kids. While I was not to happy he seemed to be very happy :)

Finally L had her first encounter with Santa. She went to spend a couple nights with her aunt and uncle and they went to Pet Smart to get some pet food. Santa happened to be there and L said she wanted to see santa. My aunt and uncle asked her why she wanted to go and she said she just did. They asked her if she knew who that was and she said that "yes, he is just a man in a funny suit." My aunt said they didn't encourage her in anyway she just went over there and stood in line. She chatted with a little boy in line about how santa was late and such and then when he finally showed up she got on his lap and gave him a big hug. The santa guy said that she was a good hugger. My aunt and uncle said she was really cute the whole time.
