The Scoop on Poop

With TerraDactyl's exciting week (the work picnic, book club, concert...) her schedule's gotten a bit messed up.  Which I think may have affected her...  regularity.  She's been pooping very regularly at 7 or 8 am each day.  But Thursday she did not poop at all!  All day long!  I was a bit concerned.  But she gave me a big ol' poopy diaper on Friday afternoon, so that was a big relief.  Honestly, I never thought I'd be so excited to see a poopy diaper!  The reduced pooping may be the schedule thing, but it may also be an age thing.  I guess some breastfed babies don't poop every day (after the first couple months of pooping ALL the time).  One more advantage of breast milk over formula - it's easier to digest, so you get fewer poopy diapers.  ;)  We'll see how things continue to develop.

Alright, subject change!  TerraDactyl is doing her best to roll over from her back to her front.  She's SO CLOSE, but just can't quite finish it.  She can get all the way to her side easy enough, and sometimes, she even tucks her head down, but she's not shifting that bottom arm, so as soon as she relaxes, she just flops back onto her back.  Like a little spring loaded toy.  But she's definitely trying to roll over.  But that darn right arm, is always in her way.  (She's only tried to roll onto her right side so far).

So close to rolling over!

Saturday we went to a ...  moving party? for some friends.  We went to school with Mr. Amish Figure Skater for years, but they moved away a few years ago.  And now they're moving even farther away.  So they came back for a visit before the big move.  It was good to see them again.  TerraDactyl was a bit fussy while we were there, but right about the time we were getting ready to leave she settled down and was just the best little socializer.  So we ended up staying out pretty late, so everyone could meet the happy baby.  :)

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...
