[Aug 4] Three Ameegs

After "Grunion 3"graduation we met up with some friends and swam some more!  

Choobie was in the pool nearly the entire evening (thanks Ashley!)

It was so fun for us to put these three little girls together and hope they will be great friends someday.  Aren't they beauts?!!

 

Julie put Tano's hair in her first ponytail!  Side pone Find it!

I was amazed because she HATES people to touch her hair and/or face.  That's what months of physical therapy will do to a kid.  But Julie just whipped that pony up like it was nothing.  Looks like I have a lot to learn in the "dressing of the girl" department.

Trying to undo the side pone was a hair ripping battle.  I ended up cutting the rubber band out of her hair, along with a few hair pieces.  I guess she'll learn sooner or later that beauty equals pain.

It was a blast to catch up with some of my oldest and dearest friends and just swim and eat like we used to back in high school.   Hope to see you girls again soon :)

[June 14] The Chompers have FINALLY arrived

[April 23] A Family Trip to Sea World

Due to some Rush cases and tough "breaks" in the lab during the week, Dan was coming home for dinner and heading right back to work every night.  

Sadly, we weren't expecting to have Daddy home for Easter weekend.  To our surprise, he was able to finish up late friday and hung out with us ALL weekend.  Hooray!

For the first time in a long time, our whole family went to Sea World:

Touching the millipedes

Sloth

Tano wearing a Manta Ray Hat

Loves

Gotta keep an eye on those rays

She loves him more than ANYTHING in the world

If Chris Farley had a daughter.....

Where's Waldo...watching the sesame street show

See how happy he makes her

The Tonald out in full force

I re-sized the Bjorn so Dan could wear it...my back never felt better!

Tano's First Shark Encounter

And I wonder where she gets her wild hair from....hmmm.

 

[April 23] Tano in Action

[April 23] Tano Eats Mush!

Her first day trying Mush (rice cereal) started off great.  She had no problem wearing a bib for the first time and definitely loved holding her own spoon:

Both of them were excited

Hungry Girl

A Happy Hungry Girl

 As soon as she tasted the first bite, things took a turn for the worse:

You want me to eat THIS?

This stuff is gross momma!

No More Momma!

All Done.  We'll try again next week.

[April 21] Tano Rolls Part 2

[April 21] Rollin Over

 

[April 21] Two Firsts in One Day!

This not so little 17 lb. Tano Kitty doesn't roll over.  Either way.  Like doesn't roll at all.

Front to Back........  No.
Back to Front........  Heck No.


On the bright side, she does a killer Sea Cucumber impression:

Slug  Find it....Found

We have been practicing and teaching and helping and coaxing her to roll over for the last month.  One time I walked into the kitchen and heard Dan say, "Come on Tonns, use your thunder thighs!  They're your best hope!" as he was practicing her PT exercises with her. 

She's in this position ALL THE TIME because of her Tortise:

Leading one to think she'd roll over by accident and then just learn how after a few times.  

Wrong.

Instead she just collapses, screeches and flails her arms till someone assists her like this:

But that all changed today.

At 5.75 months old she rolled over for the first time.....BOTH WAYS!

Unexpected and out of the blue and amazing this little kitty figured it out.


She's been rollin ever since.

Way to kill two birds with one stone Tonners.  

We are so proud of you!  Videos for the grandparents to follow.

[April 20] Tano Discovered Her Toes...
