It's Saturday afternoon and I am just hanging out while Melia sleeps. My friend from church is having a baby shower for me at her house in a little while so that should be fun although I am a little nervous about it. THe last time someone from church threw a shower for me was in Pahoa and I didn't know everyone's name that came. In fast I don't think I remembered anyone's name at all. So when I would open a present and read the card I would look around the room and thank everyone pretty much b/c I didn't know who to make eye contact with. So I finally just told people to raise their hands when I read their name. Nice, Robyn. So maybe today I can just bring the gifts home and open them at my house?? So I had bought these cute little ducky slippers for Melia awhile ago but she refused to try them on until Granddad was here and he asked her to put them on and of course she did. Now she loves them and wears them all the time...even to do yard work.

Chef Melia...

Anyone see a pattern? Well Melia actually let us put something on her head and she kept it there!! I have these cool clips for her hair that she refuses to wear unless she is the one who can put them in but she can't yet so no go on the clips. The chef's hat and reindeer antlers were a big breakthrough for me.

This is how I find her lately. I will come downstairs to find little Melia naked. This happens quite often during the day. She will take her diaper off and clothes if she has them on and just want to be naked. When she pees she will come up to me and say Pee pee Mommy and point to her diaper. But when it is poopy she will just start walking up the stairs to get another diaper and start taking it off. I have to be careful on that one as I was on the phone and I looked out in the living room and saw her naked but her bum was all brown and her blanket was sticking between her cheeks b/c she had sat on it and it was stuck!! Gross!! But I will give her credit. She had brought some wipes downstairs and wiped herself as best as she could. Thanks for trying to help out!
