Mommy Milestone & Yummy Pigs
Yesterday I had the need to use the Koala Care changing table in a restaurant to take care of an over full wet diaper on the lil' Starfish for the first time as a new mommy. It went better than I expected. But then, the bathroom was empty save us two chicks so I didn't have to feel like I was in any one's way or anything.
Thankfully I'd not bothered taking out a small blanket I'd packed in the diaper bag for our last weekend trip and was able to just lay that down on the hard plastic surface of the Koala table so Starfish didn't have to be annoyed by it. She was already in a mood and I was just glad to give her one less thing to get pissed about.
Recently she's discovered her feet. At first she just grabbed there occasionally and cooed. Now, however, it's like an all day task to get her toes into her mouth. And that task usually results in a meltdown because eventually she gets too tired to hold her foot tight enough to get it to her mouth or some other such self inflicted annoyance.
The reality of her having discovered her feet (while awesomely adorable for pictures as you can see) is quite undesirable. It's led to more fussing and whining and well... honestly, that gets old fast.
But she's learning and growing and I shall do my best to treasure her and her whiny face and slimy toes. Before long, she'll realize that having her feet in her mouth is gross and then she'll be off to college.

Amazing that Miss Baby is 3.5 months old already. It felt like the last 2 weeks of your pregnancy went by much more slowly than that.
Hope you're having a lovely early summer. It's sunny and cool in the shade in the DC area today.
Did Starfish even notice the fireworks this week?
