Saturday with Mama - walking the dog & Costco

Astrid is fascinated by our dog. When she was younger she was scared of our dog, but she overcame her fear and now loves to watch our dog and be close to her.Here's Astrid craning her neck to see what our dog is doing. Meanwhile our pooch is behind the baby's stroller, squatting and going pee. She's a female dog obviously.
"Where'd she go?"

The expression on our dog's face cracks me up as she's peeking around the stroller, out of Astrid's sight."There she is!"A sweet photo of Astrid and her doggie.Playing hide and seek again. Astrid is thrilled.Here comes the sun, little darlin'.Looking adorable while trying to say, "Bertha".Touching the dog's fur.Our dog is so much bigger than Astrid, but she's very gentle with her. So excited to be near the dog.Astrid petting the dog.Pointing to the dog.The shot of the day.I put one of my butterfly hair clips in Astrid's hair. I got the idea from Savage Stories. (Her daughter had a clip in her hair.) Astrid's hair isn't long enough to put in a pigtails yet, but it is long enough to hold a small clip.We ran some errands and made a stop at Costco. Here is Astrid in front of the baby wipes.She's chewing away on her plastic teething rings.Although we haven't seen any new teeth yet, Astrid is drooling more and always sucking and biting on her fingers, which are signs of teething. Normally she naps for 2 hours in the morning and then 1.5 hours in the afternoon, but her naps started getting shorter and shorter until she would only nap for 30 minutes. So I bought some organic teething tablets for her and that seems to be helping her.Looking at her chain of rings.Some serious chewing action. I was happy to see her chewing on her teething rings rather than her fingers. We have a ton of teething toys at home but as she's getting older she doesn't play with them anymore.Clapping her hands together.A lady that walked by commented, "Oh you know you're mommy's going to buy you something don't you? That's why you're so happy."

I dunno about that, but she sure does love to people watch.

Cool dog.

My favorite one has to be the picture where she's trying to say "Bertha." That expression is priceless.

Astrid is growing so much! I love the clip! I always put a clip in Abby's hair when she was that age too. We did have a brief stage when she realized she had this thing in her hair and opted to attempt to eat the clip instead of wearing it. :-) Yeah, everything went right to the mouth then.

Also love the pictures with the dog!
