shredder

tatum has picked up a new trick. she's started picking apart her toys. she never swallows any of the pieces so i just let her do it. i figure it must feel good on her teeth and gums or something. here's some examples of what she does:



here's her favorite of all of her rubber toys...it used to be a motorcycle with a planet/earth for a gas tank...i never really understood the design of this toy:


this is what's become of bamboo. it used to have three stalks connected together. each stalk had a squeaker in the bottom making it worth a triple squeak. it kinda sounded haunted if you could squeak all three at once but she LOVES it even still in three parts, although i have yet to find the third stalk:



and, sadly, this might be traumatic for edie and emma to witness. this was her first stuffed animal and she LOVED him from the start. he is still her favorite, but now takes a little more supervision when she plays with it to make sure she doesn't eat an antler or anything:
