Belly Buttons!

DH found a wild cherry tree that hangs over our fence

After reading "Where is Baby's Belly Button" (with accompanying motions) for months, TerraDactyl has finally figured out that she has a belly button.  She now points it out and asks to see mine.  She has yet to work up the courage to ask the see DH's.  Or maybe she has and he declined to show her and she just accepted that Da Da doesn't have a belly button.  ;)  I'm pretty excited about the belly button development because it gives me one more distraction technique for diaper changes.  Sometimes TerraDactyl spends the whole time pointing out belly buttons while I change her diaper.


The other day, TerraDactyl crawled over to me while holding one of her pink moccasins.  She handed me the shoe and then thrust her foot out at me.  So I put on her shoe.  Then she crawled back over to where the other shoe was and repeated the process.  It was pretty funny.  I thought she was going to insist on going outside at that point, but she seemed content to continue playing in her room.

And just for kicks and giggles, here's a video from our terrible Monday - aka mom insists that I eat real solid foods that are not Cheerios, even when I can see my favorite milk dispensers right there and she won't share!!!  It was pretty rough.  But this was just SO over the top it cracked me up.  You might want to turn your volume waaay down before watching the video.

    Those teeth!!! I caught a glimpse on another video but we hadn't really seen them like that.

      Oh yeah, she's got some chompers! Both DH and I have been chomped. I'll try and get a picture of them so you can fully appreciate them.

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...
