Hat Trick

It's remarkable. Infants change so fast. Last night, before my very eyes, Charlie discovered her tongue and lips and all at once the little coos emanating from the back of her throat turned into full-blown goo-gooing. How fun is that? I didn't even have time to soak it in when this morning she rolled over. Not once, but three times in a row, as if to say 'duh, mom, I have this thing totally nailed. What's next?'

It was at the time of this triumphant roll that Harry was roaming around our office sans diaper, about to get into the tub. Poor little Charlie, she rolled over to great cheers from mom, and then a shriek. "Good God, what is that?'' Indeed, there it was, a little nugget of poop about two inches from her head. Note to self....do not let toddler go commando. Ever.
