poopy poopy everywhere

here's a quick video that i took last tuesday, march 17. this was just before thea's first night in her crib, sleeping in her own room. zack had calendared the big event for sunday night but there was a major poop incident that prevented such a move according to schedule.

our changing table is next to the crib and unfortunately during an early morning diaper change, thea was positioned butt-to-crib and [i think you know where i'm going with this...] let's just say she fired a warning shot across the bow then followed it up with a parting shot through the crib slats, completely soiling her white bumper [what was i thinking??] and sheets in one fell swoop. i'll spare you the details by saying it was truly a sight to wake up to. as previously mentioned, carol was an all-star cleaning up the bedding and taught me about the [truly miraculous] stain-removing powers of bleach.

the transition to the crib was definitely harder for me. i had all these thoughts of 'she's growing up so fast! she's already leaving us!' but thea didn't seem to mind the change nor care about leaving our room. in fact, she LOVES the mobile above her new digs, as you'll see, and it actually keeps her entertained if/when she wakes up before dawn. so that's been an added bonus.

she sleeps really well in her crib during the day, [almost too well...zack and i are at odds over whether her three-hour morning naps are healthy] but she's still waking up once, sometimes twice in the night. which leaves us feeling less than bright-eyed and bushy-tailed when we need to work in the morning. hopefully we'll get a handle on the nighttime sleeping soon.

other than that, i can't complain.



sorry for the dark, grainy nature of the video. i need to work on my lighting.
