Filling Those Footie Pajamas Up

Tuesday is bath time for TWICE the fun!  We started out today with a bath and nail clipping.  I'd forgotten to clip TerraDactyl's nails on Friday and going a whole week between clippings is no good.  She's getting too good at grabbing and holding - those nails are brutal. 

More pictures mom?  Really?

(Trigger Warning - it's about to get poopy)  Anyways, around 3pm, TerraDactyl had a spectacular poop while playing in her jumper.  When I took her to change her diaper I found out that her diaper had leaked.  A LOT.  All the way down her legs and into the toes of her footie pajamas.  My mother had told me stories about this happening, but I just assumed she was exaggerating.  I mean really.  There's no way a baby can hold that much poop.  HA.  They can. 

Most footie pajamas have faces on the feet.  These are the first pair I've seen with feet on the feet.

I just about had hysterical breakdown laughing and trying to figure out how to deal with the situation.  TerraDactyl had her diaper changing toy in hand, but I had to get her out of her pajamas.  When I got her to let go of the toy, she reached straight for all that poop.  It was quite a feat of dexterity and calm speed.  We got through it with minimal disgusting mess.  But the changing pad cover had to be laundered as well as everything on TerraDactyl. 

Daddy is so lucky to get a clean TerraDactyl

I made a minimal effort to clean her up and just carried her straight back to the kitchen for another bath (with my arms extended).  Fortunately, I hadn't put away all the bath supplies yet.  It was almost more of a shower, I ended up emptying the tub like four times to make sure I got her cleaned up fully.  It was a great 45 minute diaper change.  :)

Look at her lifting those hips up!!

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

Image
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...
