Swaddle Up a Size!

After I'd been trying to use up all our size 1 diapers that TerraDactyl had outgrown it occurred to me that she was probably too big for her Swaddle Up pajamas too.  I checked her weight and she clocked in at 14.8 pounds!  Definitely time for the next size of PJ's.  I went ahead and ordered her the transition ones (the sleeves zip off) because I figure TerraDactyl will be trying to roll soon.  Once she starts rolling, I'm supposed to unzip one of her arms for a few nights and then end up with both arms out. 

The new PJ's look a bit like prison garb...

I'm trying to start doing yoga at home to increase my strength and flexibility.  And because it seems like an achievable workout with an infant.  I chose a 30 minute postpartum video.  It seemed perfect.  It only took me FOUR HOURS to get through all thirty minutes.  TerraDactyl was NOT a fan.  In the end, I did manage to get through the whole video as well as a short 10 minute video for neck and upper back issues.  But really, it took all day. 

I feel like there's a real "O Brother Where Art Thou" theme going on today...

DH spun my mattress for me to try and help out with my upper back issues.  And it definitely did!  I no longer have to scoot across the whole bed to pick up TerraDactyl for her night time feedings.  So that's nice.  Oh, and it's also nice not waking up in pain.  ;)

    Those are defiintely new since my boys were babies (not THAT long ago...). Crazy. I'd never seen these Swaddling PJs before.

      I really like them. They keep her from waking herself up by scratching and flailing, but the middle of the night diaper changes are super fast. Plus I think they make her look like she has angel wings. DH says she looks like a baby seal, but that's still cute. ;)

Summer Camp

Image
  Tomorrow TerraDactyl will be starting her first day of summer camp.  It's twice a week for 3 hours each day.  The class is super small (5 kids) and they're all 3 or 4 years old.  It's only for the month of July.  Hopefully, she'll like it.  It's a nut-free building, so I was struggling to find filling snacks for TerraDactyl to bring with her.  I ended up finding these snack cups of olives and pouches of pickles.  I was so excited about my find.  And you know what DH had to say?  "Olives and pickles for snacks?  What are you trying to get TerraDactyl bullied?"  :P  (I'm still packing the olives for her). TerraDactyl really does like olives though.  She seems to kind of like the pickles, but the olives pretty much always get cleaned off her plate.  I'd also like to point out that neither DH nor I taught her to shove the olives onto her fingers.  She just started doing that one day.  Maybe it's innate.....

A Parade!

Image
Check out all the candy TerraDactyl collected from the 4th of July Parade!  DH said she had a blast running out and picking up the candy.  For most of the parade they were spaced pretty far away from other kids so she actually had a chance to get the candy.  After a while though, another family with older kids camped out on their other side and they pretty much cleaned up the street before TerraDactyl could get to it.  She's not super aggressive with these things (yet - I'm sure she'll inherit a decent dose of competitiveness).  Also, check out her awesome snow boots that she insisted on wearing.  She's such a nut. Parade snacks!  DH and I weren't sure what kind of parking there would be, so they drove to a train stop and rode the train downtown.  TerraDactyl was super excited about the train ride.  DH wanted to walk back to the car after the parade, but TerraDactyl insisted on riding the train back.   A bit surprisingly, TerraDacty...

My Name is Still Mom

TerraDactyl had her first day of school.  It went super smoothly.  She had zero problems with us dropping her off with a bunch of strangers.  Once the teacher said she could play with the toys in the room, she had no more interest in her parents.  And DH and I suddenly had 3 child-free hours!   Here's one of the last photos of me pregnant.  Do you think these vertical lines are slimming?  I know I look huge.  There's a good reason for that... This little grumpy troll (aka SaraTops) was born on July 14 at 2:42pm, weighing 9 lbs, 10 oz!  She was a big one!  More than a pound heavier than TerraDactyl was, but an inch shorter (20.5" vs 21.5")!   SaraTops is actually much more attractive than that last picture indicates.  We refered to her as Norm throughout the pregnancy because Norm MacDonald is DH's favorite comedian and DH suggested we name her after him.  I did not agree to that plan, but I did allow Norm as a ni...
