Did you know that I gave birth to a pterodactyl?
I know that she doesn't look like a pterodactyl. I know that she doesn't eat the same things a pterodactyl eats (while I don't know exactly what pterodactyls eat, I do know that they aren't mammals so it isn't milk). I don't think she smells like a pterodactyl, although admittedly I can't absolutely confirm that.
However, I am absolutely positive that she sounds just like a pterodactyl! Especially when she is happy. Her newest trick is to experiment vocally by gleefully making loud piercing shrieky noises.
Alas, it turns out I am not incredibly fond of what peterodactyls sound like so hopefully she will move on to experimenting with other noises soon....
Note: Aspen smiles, I promise! In fact she also grins and laughs quite often. NOT, however, for the camera (sigh). In the above pics I was trying to get a smiley photo of her wearing the sweater my aunt knitted so I could send an adorable grinning picture of her in the sweater to my aunt. Alas, Aspen continues to play coy with the camera!
In addition to playful shrieks Aspen has also rolled over and can spend a solid hour grabbing her toes in fascination. However, these latter two skills can only be performed while naked (I think the diapers impede her hip flexors a little, something she will grow out of) so we have a lot of baby naked time at the house. Especially since she is so happy when naked!
In other big events recently we had Halloween, a visit from nana (jamie's mom), and Aspens first snow!

Beautiful sweater - and her hair is in a new position. As for toes, turning over, and shrieking....Good Job Aspen! I can hardly wait to hear/see what comes next. (Uh, what do the neighbors think of the Pteradactyl?) Be sure to audio record some of the sounds. I love the tapes I made of you, Sara and Cam. Hugs.
