Big Litlle Helper

Today was a good day. While I was taking laundry out of the dryer, I had a little helper. Aeryn likes to bang on the machines when I do laundry. Today she actually reached in the dryer and pulled out some clothes and put them into the clean basket I was using; instead of taking them out of the clean basket. :-) I can't believe how much she has picked up on recently. Climbing stairs(and everything else), giving kisses, blowing kisses, waving to others, the TV, dancing, opening and closing things(like the dog cage), and now laundry! I am sure I have left some stuff out. There's so much that's going on with her. I love it! Today she also fell pretty hard off of the fireplace. She's never really fallen off of it, and she's been climbing it for over a month now. If she does fall, it's only when she's trying to get down. But she was just sitting and playing, got excited, and boom. It was so sad. So I took her outside to distract her. That has always calmed her down...Thank you Brad. (Speaking of...got this link in an e-mail, just wanted to brag.)
She's taken to playing in her toy box. Doesn't bother me any, because the toys stay in it with her.
The other day Tim looked out into the backyard, and there were two black Lab dogs. Puppy and Briscoe were out there, so we were a little worried. But the dogs seemed safe, and Tim went out to see if they had collars/tags. They did, Maddie and Molly; and were from a mile away. So we called the owners and they came and got them. I guess the boys have girlfriends now.
One of the many things I am going to have to get on video...Aeryn dancing. I can't believe how much rhythm this kid has. I hope she continues loving to dance. I think it would be great to be able to tell her she was dancing before she was walking.
I also have more slides up.

Update

We went to see the A's play again, Sept. 8th. It was the first game that we'd been to that the A's lost. We have been going at least twice a year the past four years. I guess it had to happen some time. At least it wasn't Aeryns first game. We still had lots of fun. I cannot believe how easy going Aeryn is. I don't think there are many babies who can behave for a whole baseball game. We are so lucky to have such a great kid. Since it was over the weekend, we stayed the night. This was Aeryns first overnight away from home, besides when she was born. The hotel room was nice. We stayed at the Country Inn and Suites. We have stayed there before, but the room was different. The first few times we had a bedroom and a sitting room, separated by a door. I thought that's what I reserved, but the one we were in this time had a kitchen too! That's right, with a tall fridge and a stove/oven. We didn't pay more than we did last time either! Before we went to the game, I called Pizza Hut to find out how late they delivered, which was 11 I think. We took a free trolly ride to and from the game. When the game was over, we went to the trolly to go back to the hotel, and called in a pizza. But there was a fireworks show, and apparently not many people in Texas have seen one. The trolly is supposed to leave when it gets filled up. But it couldn't because everyone wanted to watch the fireworks, including the driver. Come on people, sleepy kid with hungry parents. It was 45 minutes before we got home after getting on the trolly and ordering the pizza. When I ordered the pizza I said that if we weren't back yet to leave it at the lobby desk. I even called the lobby and let them know. But I guess they didn't tell that to the delivery guy. I called Pizza Hut when we did get back, and they said he'd been out twice and it was too late to send him back. So I canceled the order. Instead I went to Hooters and got some wings and burgers to go. Yum! They really do have good hot wings.


My poor husband started to get a rash earlier this month, and so I made him an appointment with a dermatologist when it didn't go away. He has psoriasis and needed to get another prescription for it anyway. The doctor had to take a skin sample of part of the rash, and so Tim has two stitches in his back. It was the worst place too, he is very sensitive on his back. He has an appointment tomorrow to get them out and get the lab results.

I have two new slide shows on slide.com @ http://familydanziger.slide.com/

I love taking pictures of Aeryn. I can't believe she will be 1 in less than a month. I am already planning her party. It's going to be Yo Gabba Gabba themed. I let her pick it out by printing out a picture from it and Blues Clues. I wish I would have just gone with Blues Clues, because YGG just came out and there is nothing I can find for it. I have some ideas, and it's not going to be too elaborate because it's just her 1st birthday, and she won't be picky. At least it's going to be original. Whatever the princess wants, the princess gets.

The last post was one that I forgot to post. Oops. So here's some updates.
This weekend Tim's parents came over and we grilled some yummy steaks. It was nice to see them and catch up. It was a great weekend because Tim didn't have to work until today. He works so hard, it's nice to get to see him relax and get to play with Aeryn more. Aeryns front top two teeth poked through today. I can't wait to see how much it changes her appearance when they are completely out. I think there is another top tooth that is going to pop out this week. We'll see. She's so sweet. I don't remember if I said anything about how well she shares in the last blog. But she is always sharing her toys with us, trying to put them in our mouths, and sharing her snacks. Well, that's all I can think of to add right now. We are going to see the A's play the Rangers this weekend, so I won't write until then.
