Six Months Old!

TerraDactyl is now six months old!  She's 26.5 inches long and 17.1 lbs.  Both of which are about the 70th percentile.  The doctor says she's right on track with developmental milestones.  So that's good.  Our main concern is that she's got some patches of classic eczema that we're trying to keep under control. 

It's harder to get good pictures now that she flips to her belly so readily...

Halloween is coming up, so DH and I have been working on our Halloween costumes.  We went to Goodwill the other day and while I was in the dressing room trying on options, DH was supposed to be out looking for his own costume options.  I finished up and went looking for DH and found him holding three board games.  He'd seen the kid that was stocking the shelves with these games in the cart and he'd just followed the kid around until he finally unloaded the board games and DH snatched them up immediately.  I'm not sure why he didn't ask the kid instead of following him for 15 minutes, but...  DH got his games. 

OMG!  Did you see that thing?  That thing over there??

The Halloween costumes are coming along, but they're definitely not going to be our best work.  Not only do we now have to outfit another person (TerraDactyl), but it's that much harder to get anything done (or go out scavenging).  Hopefully they'll be good enough to tell what we were going for.  ;)  Our party is on Saturday, so we've only got one day left to finalize them.

TerraDactyl rolled herself up in her blanket and then proceeded to try and eat the tag...

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
