Weekend Update4

Time for me to post something, because Mom has ABANDONED US! ABANDONED I SAY!

Actually, she just had to go to Pittsburgh for classes again, which means that Grammy came over to help with Dorrie, and it’s just the three of us for the weekend. Which isn’t too bad from my perspective — I already pretty much watch her all day Saturday on my own because Mom has to go to work, but this way I have some help, which means I can take a break and write a post. (That, and Mom insisted I upload some pictures from the weekend so she can see how we’re doing while she’s away.)

Grammy sitting with Dorrie in her new bumbo-esque chair, playing with the little activity center Grammy got for Dorrie.

Mom called while Dorrie was in her stander last night. Here is Dorrie with my cell phone on speaker while Mom is talking to her.

Keeping Dorrie entertained while she is in her stander.

Usually when we put Dorrie to bed, we change her clothes into whatever she is going to wear the next day, since it saves time. Last night however, she got to sleep in an actual night shirt — and here it is. The only problem with trying to get a picture of her was that she discovered that if she lifted her legs, the shirt would slide up to her waist, which she found highly entertaining, but which looked rather undignified.

She’s just a happy little girl.

Her latest new toy is an Elmo doll that can stand, sit, talk, sing, and gracefully accept its fate when it gets knocked over. (“Elmo got so excited he fell over! Hmm… maybe Elmo will take a nap right here.”) Her initial reaction was utter delight, although she soon started showing signs of… concern. But I have a feeling she’ll warm up to him more when she is more used to him.
