a trip to grandma's

We're at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Tomorrow we're throwing a bridal shower for my sister-in-law-to-be (my younger brother is getting married on Memorial Day weekend) so we're here without Daddy for a couple of days (we miss you, Daddy!).

Grandma's house is a whole new world to explore, and LOTS of things to get into! She first discovered the vertical blinds hanging at the sliding glass door in the TV room. She pulled them down within seconds. Now a no-no. Then she discovered the garbage can with the paper shredder on top, and pulled out many tiny pieces of shredded paper. Another no-no (and we had to turn off the shredder so her hand wouldn't get caught!). Next it was the swinging door between the kitchen and dining room. We had to put a chair behind it so she couldn't push it open (Grandma had just had the carpet cleaned in that room and we didn't want her getting wet by going in there). My goodness...I'm realizing how thankful I am that our house is fairly baby proofed!!!

Here are some brief updates:
1)The OT appointment was earlier this week--everything is fine. I'm coming to the conclusion that she's just little.
2)She's sleeping more--instead of 7pm to 7am, she's now sleeping 7pm to 8am or later. Her naps are two hours long or more....where has this sleep been for the last year??? I guess she's recovering from all of this new discovery that she's doing!
3)She's eating better. Still picky....likes yogurt one day, turns her head from it the next, but I think part of it is also just her toddler independence starting to peek through.

Okay, off to do some exploring at Grandma's house!
