Hear what?!?! DH asked me that question yesterday while I was downstairs eating lunch. Of course, I had not heard anything, so he took me up to SEE the firecrackers... That's a lot of tree Yup, that's right. A giant chunk of our maple tree just up and fell over. It looks like maybe there was some damage inside the branch. Or something. I'm not exactly an expert. Doesn't exactly look like healthy wood to me We were going to mow the lawn that evening, but first we had to get that giant mess off the grass. DH started off with the chain saw chopping off branches. He didn't make it very far before the chainsaw got messed up. So while he tried to fix it, I used the pruners and loppers to get off what I could. Turns out, the chainsaw was broke. So we had to use a hand saw to chop up the big parts. It was super awkward sawing through 12 inches of wood at head height. But we did it! Too ...
Sleep training is continuing. Nights are going pretty smoothly. TerraDactyl usually fusses for a few minutes after we lay her down, but not for long. And if I'm careful, I can usually sneak into bed without waking her up. Unfortunately, she wants to wake up at 5am. It's 6am if I'm lucky. I've never been a morning person, so this is hard for me. But I'm trying to make the transition gracefully and with love (you know, rather than bitterness and annoyance 😉). The cutest dragon ever Naps however, are not going quite as smoothly. She's pretty ticked off when we lay her down. She tries to sneak in snuggle naps, but she's got very little interest in sleeping alone in her bassinet. We're trying to find the sweet spot between "not quite tired enough" and "over tired and angry". It's a bit like Goldilocks. I've been tracking when TerraDactyl eats, plays, and sleeps, and trying to find a schedule that works for us....
Yesterday, TerraDactyl and I started the day with 40 minutes of Mommy & Me yoga. It went pretty well again, but we didn't quite get to finish the second video before TerraDactyl had just had enough. TerraDactyl enjoys the squats, but she really likes the butt lifts. She lays on my belly so when I lift my butt up, she goes upside down a bit. It makes her laugh. How did you get here? After yoga, TerraDactyl had her tummy time. Aaaand, after about 2 minutes, she rolled over!!! (2 weeks shy of 4 months, if you'd like to record the milestone 😉) It was SO exciting. She'd been so close to rolling over the day before, I was taking video in the hopes she would manage it. I was so excited, I had to mute the video for this post because I was just too loud. After our productive morning, TerraDactyl and I ended up taking a three hour nap together in the afternoon. Well, I probably only slept for an hour, but TerraDactyl wa...
Gettin' there! :D
