Early Birds and Worms

I've never been a fan of eating worms, but apparently my daughter is.  She's quite the early bird.  Obviously, TerraDactyl gets this from her father.  I've never been a morning person, but especially not when I've been woken up multiple times over the course of the night.  Lately, TerraDactyl and I have been engaging in battles of stubbornness in the mornings.  She insists loudly that I should get up and I pretend not to hear her and attempt to sleep for another 30 minutes.  Of course, she gets her volume from me, so it's not like I actually get any sleep.  It's kind of funny, TerraDactyl babbles (loudly) while we're laying there in bed, but then as soon as we get up, she quiets right up and gets contemplative.  Hmm...  Maybe "funny" wasn't quite the word I was looking for...

TerraDactyl helping with the laundry.  Before long, she'll be doing her own loads.

With TerraDactyl waking up earlier and earlier (also going to bed earlier), nap times have been shifting around.  I've kind of got a feel for her rhythms in the day, but I'm thinking I should probably keep track of them so I've got more definitive schedule for her.  If we hit her nap times well, then she's happier in the evenings when DH gets home instead of just angry, cranky baby. 

This chair is juuuust right

I've added our 6 month clothes to the closet.  Apparently, it's a popular size.  There's a bunch of them!  We've also had to remove some bibs from rotation because TerraDactyl's neck is a bit thick.  No complaints from me though.  That means she's got good neck muscles, right?  Wobbly baby heads always make me so nervous. 

When she's happy, she's HAPPY!

    What a relief when her sleep schedule starts to resemble your own more! The sleep factor may be what I dread most about our own upcoming Adventures in Babysitting.

Honey, Where are my pants?

The other day, DH and I were getting ready to leave the house and DH asked me to run downstairs to grab his wallet.  Sure thing, no problem.  I spent 10 minutes looking for his wallet before giving up.  DH looked downstairs for his wallet while I looked upstairs and in the car.  DH looked upstairs and in the car.  We finally gave up and left.  I had to drive instead of DH.  We spent a whole day thinking DH's wallet was missing.  Since he hadn't left the house in a week, we figured he lost it the last time he did leave.  When we finally got back to the house DH found this gadget  that links to your phone.  When you lose your wallet, you phone pings the card and it makes a noise so you can find the wallet.  Apparently, DH isn't the only one to have this problem.  ;)  Oh, and we found his wallet.  Phew!  It was in the pocket of his pants in the laundry basket.  Which we BOTH checked, multiple times.  Turns out, sometimes having a plethora of pockets in a pair of pants is a bad

Furniture Galore!

Well, DH and I have finally passed the last milestone to official adulthood.  It's not having a baby - lots of people choose not to or can't have kids.  It's not buying a house - people in big cities often can't buy houses because big cities are insane (a completely unbiased fact).  And it has nothing to do with age.  Nope.  The last milestone to adult hood is:  buying non-IKEA furniture.  DH and I are big proponents of hand-me-downs.  And we've got by pretty well so far, thanks to our generous family and friends.  But we did need a new bed, and I fell in love with one, so we ended up paying retail for it.  It was on sale, at least.  And it's really cool. My log cabin quilt on my log bed Oh, did I forget to mention I bought a whole bedroom set?  Yeesh.  I don't usually care about things matching.  And I'm usually not a big spender, so I don't want to buy all the matching things.  But this was just too cool.  And the set was on sale!  I l

Summer Camp

  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...  I think TerraDactyl told her first ridd
