...Is worth a week of TV. We got a lot of mileage out of this one. Our petite princess Piper has one powerful pooper and a penchant for picking particular pants for pooping. Affectionately know as "the rhumba pants," the red ruffled article in question is a favorite for explosive poop. We've tried different size diapers, but every so often the floodgates open, and we get to see what all the baby books identify as the proper color excrement. I was holding Piper when this one appeared in my hand. Thankfully, she's breastfeeding (no nasty smells), and it remained in my hand rather than on the carpet.
After something like that, one needs a brisk walk, so we all headed out to Loantaka for a stroll in the woods. Piper has been all over town, but the miles and miles of Loantaka's paved trails are perfect for strolling with the Orbit and giving Lily a chance to chase squirrels, geese, and deer. There are a couple of streams that Lily frequents, and it has been warm enough for her to take a dip.
Piper continues to delight us with her hilarious noises, bright smiles, and easygoing demeanor. We've been pretty good about keeping the evening routine, so getting her to bed is not a problem. After the bath, it's some food with a story with Kristin, and two or three rounds of the "Lullaby" extended mix from the Cure's Mixed Up CD to put her to sleep.Just before Easter, we tossed her and Lily in the (Piper) Aztec and went for a short flight over my parents' house. They both earned their wings! Sadly, our photos of the event didn't turn out very well, so you'll have to take my word for it that her first flight was a success. The weather is getting better quickly, so a ride in the sidecar can't be far away....
