Teething Again


I'm pretty sure TerraDactyl is teething again.  She's super drooly and constantly chewing on her pointer finger and thumb (one on each side of her mouth).  She won't chew on her teething ring though (whether it's chilled or not).  And while she loves carrying around her teething necklaces, she's not chewing on them either.  So one of these days I'm expecting to see some new teeth.


Speaking of drool...  TerraDactyl wanted to hold DH's hand so bad.  She'd been reaching for it quite aggressively while DH was dodging her because her hand was just drenched in drool.  So he grabbed a towel and wiped her hand off so that he could hold it.  While he turned around to get rid of the towel, TerraDactyl immediately stuck her hand in her mouth to chew on her fingers.  DH turns back around to grab her hand and gets a soaking wet hand.  I just about died laughing watching that exchange.  It was like watching the Three Stooges or something.  


Yesterday I was trying to eat my breakfast as quickly as possible because TerraDactyl was not showing much interest in hers.  I was so happy to see that her small Cheerio pile had dwindled.  I hadn't heard them hitting the floor, so surely that means she's eating them, right?  Nope.  She's just getting really good at hiding them.  And YES, this is a leak proof sippy cup, so there IS a silicone gasket in the top.


I finally finished the next section in TerraDactyl's growth chart!  The Fox took a while, mostly because we got pretty busy.  Next up, the Deer!  I've got 5 out of 9 sections done, so I'm over half way there!

    I love the picture of your daughter playing with the train . . . and my son eating it. (He likes to choo-choo his food thoroughly.

      Choo-ing food thoroughly is an important life skill. Maybe you're about to see some teeth, too!

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...

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.....
