Advances in rolling

In the last couple of days, TerraDactyl has started immediately rolling over to her tummy pretty much every time we lay her on her back.  Mostly it's not a big deal when she's on the floor, but when we're changing her clothes or diapers...  it's a bit challenging.  She's so squirmy, diaper changes are taking a bit longer these days. 

Check out the Star Wars themed jammies!

I've started tracking TerraDactyl's schedule to see what kind of patterns she follows naturally.  I'm hoping it will help us establish a more consistent daily schedule.  I'm also secretly hoping it will lead to me getting more sleep.  ;)

Where did my hand go?

We've tried TerraDactyl's other rattle socks.  The ones above are Boogie Toes.  They're thicker than her other pair and they stay on better.  She's also got a pair of knee high rattle socks.  They're both thicker and longer and they stay on pretty well too.  I'm not sure of the brand, but I think they're my favorites.

I have lady bugs on my feet!

TerraDactyl and I walked to Goodwill the other day.  The weather's getting colder, so my cardigans haven't quite been keeping me warm enough.  I needed something warmer.  I got a bunch of zip up hoodies and jackets.  And they all have pockets!  This was very important to me.  And, I can fit into my jeans again, so I should be good on warm clothes for a while now. 

TerraDactyl finally managed to get her bib off!

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...

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.....
