TerraDactyl Sandwich!

TerraDactyl has discovered one of Riley's favorite sleeping spots when he was a puppy.  I caught her crawling up into the middle of our coffee table the other day.  I guess that means I should probably dust there if she's going to be mucking about and exploring that area.  ;)

Tres chic - TerraDactyl is already exploring her fashion tastes

TerraDactyl is getting pretty good at communicating her desires.  She points and grunts insistently to steer whoever is holding her.  She grabs the breast feeding pillow and drags it over to me when she wants to nurse.  And she pulled quite emphatically on Riley's leash when she wanted to go on a walk the other day. 

Time for a walk!

After a few days of below average eating, TerraDactyl is back to eating more normally.  She's also sleeping better, so I think her teeth aren't bother her as much.  The other morning she ate an entire 4oz cup of pears in addition to Cheerios for breakfast!  Usually I end up eating the rest of the fruit cup, but she finished it off. 

She won't wear her own hat, but she'll wear mom's!

Our rhubarb plant is a bit crazy.  We've got to start making rhubarb recipes or it'll all go to waste.  I feel a bit like Alice in Wonderland here at this house.  All the garden produce seems to be excessively large!

She could row a boat with oars that size!

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...
