Onion-Head Baby

I am so excited because I have a major newsflash:

MY BIG EXCITING SUPER SECRET PROJECT IS FINISHED.

IT'S FINISHED AND PROUDLY DISPLAYED IN OUR HOME.

AFTER NEARLY ONE FREAKING WHOLE MONTH.

Sadly, I am unable to share pictures at this time, as it is night and I have absolutely zero talent with the flash on our camera. I'll try to snap a few (in between making granola and wiping bottoms) for a big reveal sometime tomorrow. Seriously, y'all. It has been a long time in coming (who knew I'd take this long?? who knew we'd put up with such an inconvenience for so long??), but it's so totally worth it. The end result truly pleases me.

Anyway, this small post isn't really about that. It's about Baby C, who is quickly and decidedly growing out of being a baby. *Sob* She walks like she was born to (well, yeah), picks up new words every day, manages to almost keep up with her wild brothers, and locks her brothers and mother upstairs.

Ohmyword, she is so skinny.

Yep. That's the door to our upstairs. Yep. It has a lock. Who knew? Well, not me, until she locked us all upstairs one day after I had put the boys down for a nap. (In case you're going to get riled up about me leaving her downstairs by herself: Puh-leeze. She was playing quietly and would have put up a major fuss had I dragged her away from her toys. Of course now I wish I had endured such a fuss, but c'est la vie.) Luckily I had the cell phone on me at the time and could call for aid. Aid came in the form of my dad, and he found a crying, sniveling, upset infant downstairs who had overturned chairs and moved piles of laundry in her distress, as well as a concerned, lock-picking mother crouched at the bottom of the steps.

Life is so very interesting. And now C has a special new talent! Hurrah!

In other news, she likes to accessorize.

That's my onion-head hat that Janie made for me last Christmas.

And, of course, there are always the shoes.

So there's a brief Baby C update. More exciting events to follow! Stay tuned!
