First Step-ish!

Last night DH was trying to get TerraDactyl to take an unassisted step.  And here's the results:

Advances in Tools

Image
TerraDactyl is not quite as tall as she would like to be.  So she's been looking into using different tools to help her get what she wants.  Usually it's a place mat.  She pulls the place mat off the table and whatever was on it comes with.  (Yay for the heartiness of Corelle dishes!)  She almost always wants the steak knife (of course).  But lately, she's started experimenting with stepping stools.  I may have to re-think the ingenuity of giving her an empty milk carton to play with...   TerraDactyl is also making advances in showing affection.  She's done both the sloppy wet kisses and the funny air kisses to family for a while.  But she also wants to show affection to her favorite dolls and stuffed animals.  She's started kissing them (and rubbing their heads). And of course, TerraDactyl hugs her favorite toys.  It took her a few days, but she's finally figuring out how to hug two toys at once (one in each arm).  I...

First Hair Cut!

Image
TerraDactyl's bangs have been a bit unruly of late.  I've been sweeping them off to the side with the intention of using a clip or barrette to hold them there.  But I've been having some difficulty finding a satisfactory toddler barrette.  Her hair is so fine and delicate and I don't want to damage it.   When I was in high school, I did gymnastics with a girl used to use a metal clip to hold her bangs back while she practiced.  One day she landed on the clip and it basically turned the metal clip into scissors.  Every hair got cut.  So she stopped using clips and just used gel.  But it's hard to find a gel strong enough to withstand gymnastics.  So she ended up looking like Sonic the Hedgehog by the end of every practice.  Obviously, this is not exactly a likely scenario, but it does make me a bit cautious.   Not to mention that TerraDactyl doesn't like anything on her head.  She removes hats, headbands, hoods......

Nails Grow Fast

Image
Man, baby nails grow so fast!  I had to use mitts during nap time so she wouldn't scratch herself awake.  I had to cut TerraDactyl's fingernails again.  Tuesdays might turn into my least favorite day. She seems chill about the mitts TerraDactyl did a great job napping in the evening.  She even let us watch a movie!  We watched Escape Plan.  It has both Stallone & Arnold, and while there weren't a ton of explosions, there was gunfire and loud noises and TerraDactyl slept right through it.  TerraDactyl's themed outfit (the movie's about breaking out of prison) A bit of a boring day.  We didn't get a lot accomplished.  Laundry (of course), bath, nail clipping and that's about it.
