Should These Be Tweets?

* So, when the baby literature says don't feed your 8.5 month-old strawberries, don't do it!

* I got a laptop stand that just kicks ass and actually got me working at my desk instead of in bed today.

* Trying to get a babysitter so Rick and I can see the terminator movie on Friday night - fingers crossed (also that it doesn't suck).

* Neighborhood pool opens this weekend. You couldn't get me in that water with a full wet suit.

* Neighborhood pool cleaning resulted in many tadpoles added to our pond - did any survive the appetites of our fish?

* "Is it harder to hit a point with a plane or a plane with a point?": our science-y bathtime conversation inspired by watching Harper bang her bath toys against each other.

Nitro Powered Advancement

When Harper decides to do some advancement she goes all in. This morning Leslee and I could feel her first tooth. Which may explain the extreme snot-nosedness, drooliness, and lack of napping the last few days. AND then, Leslee cheered Harper along with the Raggedy Ann doll and Harper scooted a good 3 feet. Then she beat me at chess.
