Happy Fall Ya'll

Just in case anyone is "out there" wondering what we've been up to, here's your update!


Potty Training
Well, folks, my baby girl isn't such a baby anymore! I purchased the book Toilet Training in Less than A Day figuring I'd certainly rather try one day of training 1st...and if not successful, then do my best over the coming weeks. But really, Little Miss "C" was ready and we got down to business one Wednesday about two weeks ago. She did great (although that was a hard day, folks) and is now fully in her "big girl panties." I took pictures of the day shamelessly (even the 1st poo poo for Daddy to see) but I'll spare her the embarrassment and just show you her happy face in front of her Potty Chart full of stickers - a special thanks to Ms. Barbara for the Chart!


Taking Advantage of Great Weather (and not so great...)
I'm already sad about the time change, shorter days and cold weather because I love to let Little Miss "C" outside to play on nice days. Here we are on a recent outing to the local park - it was cold, windy and overcast so we were the only ones on the playground!


And Living Life
Little Miss "C" loves playing in my closet, and one Sunday morning came out sporting my aqua sandals. Lovely.... We're hoping to move her to a twin bed this week - yet another small step in this growing-up process. She loves to sing, sometimes real songs and sometimes things she makes up. Unfortunately it's nearly impossible to get a good video of it all, because as soon as she sees me with the video camera she STOPS what she's doing and walks toward the camera saying, "I want to see.." Today she made the local news at 4 and 6pm! The reporter was there when she went for her Swine Flu vaccine.


As for my little man, he'll be 4 months old on the 30th! He's somewhere in the 15 pound range. I've discovered that he's very ticklish and loves to have his face stroked and kissed on. "Mama kisses" I call them! He's rolling from his belly to his back and attempts to get back over. Probably could if Mom gave him more "tummy time." His attempts to talk have increased dramatically lately, which is fun for us! And he give more and more smiles every day.


Stay tuned for Halloween photos - Raggedy Ann and Andy....
