Potty Training

Holly is becoming such a BIG girl! She is learning to use the potty. On Tuesday the 29th of July we began only putting her in a diaper for bed time, nap time, and if we were leaving the house. She has only had a few accidents, but usually figures out she's going, stops and finishes on the potty. I'm just so very proud of her.

My Baby is Two!

Is it possible that two years have come and gone already? It seems like just yesterday I was adjusting to being a new momma. And here you are such a big girl, walking and talking.
Waiting for you to arrive:

You are growing up so very fast. I find myself often wishing that I could slow time down. Here's to a wonderful third year my love.

A Time for Changes


Wow, once again it's been way too long since my last update! The girls have done so many new things.
On July 3rd my Holly turned two. It seems like just yesterday I was seeing her for the first time. We had Grandpa Duane and Grandma Cindy, Papa Gene and Grandma Kitty, Nana and Papa Dow, Aunt Elena and Zane, Uncles Uriah and Ethan for a party. We had Spaghetti (her favorite) w/ cake and ice cream (also her favorite). The cake was Thomas the Train, she had seen it at the bakery so we suprised her w/ it. She got a baby doll stroller and a new bed. On the 5th she took her first nap in her new bed and has taken naps in it everyday since. On July 10th she decided she wanted to begin sleeping in her bed at night (she tucked herself in LOL). Her favorite thing to do is play outside and play w/ her toy kitchen (she says I cookin'). She is growing up so fast.
Kylie is also growing so fast! on June 9th she rolled over for the first time. On June 24th she sat all by herself for the first time. She is continuing to get stronger and stronger w/ the sitting, every day it's for longer periods of time before she tires and is ready to be picked up or falls over. However, she refuses to roll over again, I find this very odd but I guess it just goes to show you just how different kids are. I love watching all of the developements of both of my girls. As they learn new things it opens up a whole new world for them. Kylie has also began to take 1-2 hour naps each day in her own bed! I love the days that her nap overlaps big sister's because I get time to regroup and not be in such a bad mood for the afternoon.
