Especially For Aunt Jessica

By
Aunt Jessica has been anxiously awaiting nine month photos of Leah, so here they are Auntie!  Leah was nine months a few days ago.  At her checkup she weighed 19 lbs, 10 oz and she is 29 inches long.  Our infant car seat can't be used past 30 inches, so this weekend we took a trip to Babies R Us with BOTH grandmas to get a new one.  We made a tunnel out of the box and Leah had a blast crawling through it.  We would close the flaps and she figured out how to slither through and then she would crawl out and clap for herself.  So cute!  (There's a video down below.)  She is in such a fun stage right now.  She is not walking yet, but she crawls at the speed of light when she wants to, and she can pull herself up to stand on the furniture and walk holding on.  She's also starting to wave bye-bye and babble with new sounds.

It was such fun being together this past weekend. We had fun playing with Leah, playing pinochle, shopping, and of course golf for Ryan and Grandpa!

Close Encounters of the Pregnant Kind

By
I have found that something about a pregnant lady makes people say things that they wouldn't normally say. And, then of course, there is also a sudden decrease in personal space awareness. I am almost not surprised anymore when a stranger puts her hand on my belly for a prolonged amount of time in a public restroom while she tells me horror stories about delivering the 15 th of her 17 children. Here are a few of my favorite encounters: 1. An elderly man came over to me at the grocery store in the produce section looking very stern and asked me if I was trying to steal a watermelon. (He then broke into a semi-toothless grin.) 2. A kindergartner came running up to me while I was on recess duty, put her hand on my tummy and said, "Mrs. Dainty! I just saw your belly MOVING! Is that your baby? Is she having recess, too?" 3. Lucy (our dog) gave me several annoyed glances as she tried to snuggle up to me while we were watching TV and kept getting nudged in the face by t...

Persuasive Essays

By
My sixth grade class has been working on persuasive essays this quarter, and one of their first assignments was to write a persuasive piece on what Mr. and Mrs. Dainty should name their baby! They worked in partners, and they got to choose either a girl's name or a boy's name. Their responses were quite interesting and they have certainly given us some chuckles. Here are some of the highlights. (Spelling and grammar errors have been left in for comedic purposes.) Most Unique Supporting Details "Isabella is a perfect name because Queen Isabella helped supply Colombus for his trip across the sea. When we were younger we wished that there were famous people with our names. Many people may think Isabella is a weird name, but we think it is very beautiful." "I picked the name Tera because it is easy to spll , and Tera sownds like she will be smart like her mother. Her mother is so smarte . And she will want to be a techer like her."
