Moving Faster


Some days I swear I can tell that TerraDactyl is walking faster than the day before.  Her steps are longer and she can move those little legs with a bit more coordination...  She is so close to running.  It's getting harder to take pictures of her because she's moving so fast that she's out of frame/focus by the time my camera takes the picture!


TerraDactyl found Grandma's awesome room of stuff (AKA the storage room)!  She's carrying around a little case that holds little 45 rpm records.  She loves that little box, it's just the right size and weight for her.  


Another exciting find...  MATCHES!!  This was very exciting because they rattle.  It took a lot of effort on my part to get them away from her.  There were some very strong words exchanged (on her part).  I'm not sure what she said, but she was very unhappy about the loss of her find.  It was probably along the lines of "But...  FINDERS KEEPERS!"


TerraDactyl is already multitasking.  Here she is, playing purses while watching the washing machine run.


I wish I had a really good picture of TerraDactyl running around the house wearing DH's hat.  It was SO cute.  Partially because it was so cockeyed and partially because it was so huge...  It was just adorable.  


Yesterday, Grandma was sweeping the floor and it was really funny watching TerraDactyl.  She was very interested in what was going on, but a little hesitant about it too.  She looked torn between wanting to get closer and wanting to keep a safe distance.  But Riley was in the laundry room and TerraDactyl really needed to get to him, so...  she just had to get past that broom!

Honey, Where are my pants?

The other day, DH and I were getting ready to leave the house and DH asked me to run downstairs to grab his wallet.  Sure thing, no problem.  I spent 10 minutes looking for his wallet before giving up.  DH looked downstairs for his wallet while I looked upstairs and in the car.  DH looked upstairs and in the car.  We finally gave up and left.  I had to drive instead of DH.  We spent a whole day thinking DH's wallet was missing.  Since he hadn't left the house in a week, we figured he lost it the last time he did leave.  When we finally got back to the house DH found this gadget  that links to your phone.  When you lose your wallet, you phone pings the card and it makes a noise so you can find the wallet.  Apparently, DH isn't the only one to have this problem.  ;)  Oh, and we found his wallet.  Phew!  It was in the pocket of his pants in the laundry basket.  Which we BOTH checked, multiple times.  Turns out, sometimes having a plethora of pockets in a pair of pants is a bad

Furniture Galore!

Well, DH and I have finally passed the last milestone to official adulthood.  It's not having a baby - lots of people choose not to or can't have kids.  It's not buying a house - people in big cities often can't buy houses because big cities are insane (a completely unbiased fact).  And it has nothing to do with age.  Nope.  The last milestone to adult hood is:  buying non-IKEA furniture.  DH and I are big proponents of hand-me-downs.  And we've got by pretty well so far, thanks to our generous family and friends.  But we did need a new bed, and I fell in love with one, so we ended up paying retail for it.  It was on sale, at least.  And it's really cool. My log cabin quilt on my log bed Oh, did I forget to mention I bought a whole bedroom set?  Yeesh.  I don't usually care about things matching.  And I'm usually not a big spender, so I don't want to buy all the matching things.  But this was just too cool.  And the set was on sale!  I l

Summer Camp

  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...  I think TerraDactyl told her first ridd
