Nadia cried (I should say whimpered) for maybe 1 minute around 9pm last night which was very unusual as typically she doesn't make a peep from 7pm to about 6:30am. I was going to go up and comfort her if she had kept crying, but she went back to sleep very quickly. Well I discovered at 6:30am the reason she had cried at 9pm. Her leg was stuck out of the crib. She was lying on her belly with most of her one leg outside of the crib. The red marks on her chubby little thigh didn't go away right away. Poor girl!!! I felt awful. I would have checked on her if she had cried more than 1 minute. I can't say for certain her leg was stuck all those hours, but by how dark red the marks were on her leg, I think she did. So Paul said I need to buy the video monitor we've been talking about getting TODAY, and I agreed 100%! I had planned to put it on our Christmas wish list, but I started bidding on one on eBay today instead. Thanks, Chrissy for giving us input on which one to buy! I plan to buy a second camera so that if I set each at a different channel I can flip between the two during the hours they are both sleeping at the same time. The bumper just doesn't do any good these days because she pushes it down. I imagine she tries to use the bumper as a way to climb out of her crib, but the bumper just squishes down below the mattress when she does that.
Nadia is using pointing more and more to express her desires. The item she points to the most frequently is the CD player that is on the fireplace mantle. She likes to listen to music ALL the time these days, and she can tell if it's her music or not. If I turn on the radio she shakes her head "no" and continues to point to the CD player until I start playing one of her CDs. I am glad she likes music!
She also LOVES to go outside. She'd spend hours on end out there if Mommy was up to it. When Debbie babysit last week she said she played outside almost the whole 2 hours that she watched her. The only problem we have while we're outside is that Nadia loves to eat mulch. I constantly say "no eat," but I still have to routinely fish pieces of mulch out of her mouth. I can't imagine that it actually tastes good!

River has taken to eating the bits of sheet rock on the floor since we are in the middle of remodeling our kitchen! Perhaps he and Nadia need to write a cook book together. Maybe they are seeing something that we don't in the gross things on the ground :)
