For the Love of Frisbee

Well, yesterday I confirmed that eggs do not sit well with TerraDactyl.  I'd tried them a bit ago and she got all red, but I'd cooked them in oil.  So this time I microwaved the eggs so there was nothing but scrambled eggs.  She didn't eat much (just one bite).  But she got all fussy and upset and asked to nurse.  So we nursed.  And then she acted sleepy, so I started getting her ready for a nap.  But she wanted to snuggle a bit, so we snuggled.  And then she puked all over me.  It was sooo sweet.  :/ 

What shall we build today?

Fortunately, after she finished puking her guts out, TerraDactyl perked right back up and was ready to get back to playing.  Also fortunately, DH was working from home.  I probably could have dealt with it if I was by myself...  but the process was so much simpler having a clean person to help me deal.  When she first started puking (directly down my shirt front), I went and stood in the shower to try and limit the floor cleaning I'd need to do.  DH came and we stripped TerraDactyl down cleaned her up.  While DH got her dressed again, I got to shower!  (If DH wasn't home and I didn't get to shower...  I'm SO glad he was here).  The whole process was done in less than 15 minutes. 

One Fish, Two Fish

After the gastrointestinal excitement, we did not end up going on a walk.  So instead DH and I played keep away frisbee with Riley.  It's one of his favorite games.  I had TerraDactyl in her Tula carrier.  And she was giggling so hard.  At first we thought she was laughing at Riley running all over (because she does love that).  Then we thought maybe it was all the movement and bobbing I was doing.  But nope.  It was actually watching the Frisbee coming and going that got her so excited.  It's a bit awkward, but I managed to get a video of TerraDactyl laughing while we played.  The view isn't the best (it's really hard to play frisbee while videoing), but you can definitely hear her giggling.  It stops in the middle because Riley snatched the Frisbee right out of my hand after I caught it and DH had to get it back from him.  Sneaky puppy.

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

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...
