Daily Peep: Baby's First Christmas Party

This is what Peeper wore to our Christmas party this afternoon.


We're actually quite lucky that she was able to wear it; we had a very close call with a diapering incident just minutes before the party began. Shrike was changing her, and said, "Hmm, this diaper is dry and just the tiniest bit poopy, should I even change it?"

Just then, she peed in it. "Well, that answers that question."

That was fine, but then she peed again, with no diaper under her.

I was standing by her head, and scooped her up as soon as I saw it, managing somehow to get her out of the way before it ran under her back and got her clothes wet.

I was holding her all wrong, and she was dangling somewhat precariously (and peedily!) while Shrike got the changing table cleaned up enough to put her back down, but we pulled it off!

The little label under the reindeer says "Santa's Helper."


Okay, you really can't see the outfit in this one, but she sure is cute!

Reindeer Feet!!!

Yes, she's crying in this one, but the point is to show that she loves staring at the polka dots on the changing table, and the bulletin board above it while she's being changed. Sometimes we just put her on there and let her look at them when she's being fussy. When she's in other parts of her room, she stares at other black and white things. We really did a great job choosing the decor!

And, there was a party going on.

This photo shows how much we toned things down this time. That's all the food that we provided (it was potluck, there was a TON of stuff by the time everyone showed up): Tortilla chips and salsa, potato chips, crackers, store-bought cookies, store-bought pumpkin roll, red/green M&Ms, Hershey's miniatures (A few. I kind of opened the package last night. Oops.) and honey-roasted peanuts.

I didn't cook or prepare anything; all I had to do was open some packages.
