Diaper Change

I just had to share a funny anecdote with you. I think this is probably one of the funniest things I've seen Kaitlin do. After pushing her baby around the house in her stroller, Kaitlin spread out the baby's blanket and laid the baby on top of it. I thought she wanted to swaddle the baby, so I wrapped her up in her blanket. Kaitlin promptly unwrapped her and said diaper. I asked, "do you need a clean diaper?" and Kaitlin signed baby, meaning that her baby needed a clean diaper. She went over to the changing table to get one and brought it back over. She messed with the baby and the diaper for a minute and then took the diaper over to the diaper genie and put it in (she can't really get it all the way in). She held her nose and said "pee-u" to let me know it was a stinky one and then brought the diaper back and tried to put it on her baby. I helped her put the diaper on baby and then she posed for some pictures.



















Kaitlin's size 4 diapers are a little big for her baby; I think she needs some preemie size!

I think it's so much fun to watch Kaitlin learn and put things together. She is always taking us by surprise with how much she knows and can do. Yesterday, she went into the garage with me to get food for the animals. I opened the cabinet to get Simba's food and Kaitlin took the lid off Harley's treat jar, took out a treat, and put the lid back on. Needless to say, Harley got an appetizer before dinner!

I laughed at that diaper picture! It reminds me of Elena at that age. SO cute with their motherly instinct.
