Fall is in the air

 


We loaned our bassinet out to one of DH's coworkers and they just returned it to us.  I left it in the living room, thinking it would be fine there... But TerraDactyl still managed to climb into it.  She got onto the couch and then managed to cross that gap and get into the bassinet.  She really loves climbing and has zero fear.  I also think it's really funny that TerraDactyl knew the bassinet was for sleeping (based on her pose in the picture).  She hasn't used it for 9 months and she's only 18 months old!  


Talking on her Duplo phone and wearing her super chic outfit and boots.  


I didn't realize that some of our horse shoes are kids horseshoes.  They're super light.  TerraDactyl really likes running around with them.  She even throws them occasionally (not far).   The lightweight horseshoes definitely mean we could be playing a family game of horseshoes a whole lot sooner than I initially thought.  


DH bought us some more dishwasher detergent and TerraDactyl stole the container for her own personal use.  She really seemed to enjoy sitting on it, then carrying it somewhere else, and sitting there for a bit.  It was pretty funny.  DH and I decided to give her the empty container so that she can continue to enjoy playing with it.  


TerraDactyl is definitely getting taller.  I need to measure her height again.  She can reach so much farther onto the table, I haven't quite adjusted to the new buffer distances.  This is what happens when I try and bake while TerraDactyl is playing in the dining room.  I had forgotten there was a bag of spinach on the table.  She got the bag off the table and was grabbing handfuls of spinach and tossing them on the ground.  I got the bag away from her and then she decided to try and eat some of it.  (The mess would have been so much smaller if she'd started out by eating it!)  She was totally fine walking all over it and smooshing it up, but when I started picking it up to throw it away, TerraDactyl suddenly wanted to help -- either by picking it up, or by eating it.  It's not the only time she's managed to grab food off the table, either:  


With the change of the seasons as well as clothing sizes, I've been doing some rearranging of TerraDactyl's closet.  I moved her pants into a drawer in her dresser and she LOVES that they're now within easy reach.  Here's the tail end of one of her accessorizing sessions:

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
