Potty?

Time sure flies these days! Here I thought I'd be having more time to blog once I was a stay at home mommy, but time has yet to prove that I do. I think part of my problem is that I take pictures with the thought that they'll make good blogs, then I get overwhelmed with all the pictures I haven't blogged about!!! I have to remind myself that not EVERY blog needs pictures, right? :)

So, we have been busy around here. Busy with what? Well, with cleaning, playdates, shopping, naps, and good books, time gets away from us before we know it. I know, I know...hard life, huh?
I love going to the public library and picking out books for Jadyn and for me. Now that I'm home, I love that I finally have some time to READ! Jadyn loves to 'read' too. :) Our current book of interest is an ABC book about 'gogs' (aka dogs). Little Ms. Jadyn is nearing her 2nd birthday and is growing so much these days. I can't help but smile at how she says some of her words. Here are just a few for entertainment:
beghky - vitamin (why it comes out beghky, I have no idea, but it's cute!)
reesins - raisins
gog - dog
Micky - Mandy
Intrew - Andrew
Dagdy - Daddy
pock - park

Jadyn's also taking an interest in potty training. Over the past several weeks, I've been casually asking her, "Want to go potty?" "Potty!" So, we 'go', but until recently, nothing 'came'. The other night, when I once again sat her on the potty and sang the little "Pee pee in the potty....pee pee in the potty.....pee pee in the potty....pssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss", SHE DID IT!!!! I was so excited that I had to contain myself from screaming out in excitement (less I frighten my little apprentice balanced on the toilet seat). We did the happy dance afterwards and celebrated with high-fives and 'good job'! That's the only time she's gone so far, but I figure that with my next trip to the store, I'll be buying pull-ups. :) Who thought potty-training could be so exciting! LOL

Jadyn's also in to feeding her doll now. She'll carry it around, feed it, rock it, and put it in the chair. It's very cute to watch her in action being a mommy. :)


She's also now understanding the concept that towers are not only fun to knock down, but you can build them again! She's finally stacking blocks. It used to be that she would just knock down what I built, but now she's self-sufficient at building and tearing down all on her own! :)

Mmmmm, chocolate ice cream!

This past weekend, we had fun going to the Rangers game....






and the Cowgirl Museum. Giddy up, horsey! Hold on, Eli!!! Jadyn's got the reigns!

So long! My man and I are headed for the sunset!

Eli is growing by leaps and bounds. He's only 3 months old but is now wearing 6 MONTH outfits!!! He's long in the torso, but short in the legs. Poor guy...he might be short like his daddy and mommy. :) But, good things come in small packages. He's cooing, gurgling, giggling, and smiling these days. He's also rapidly losing his hair. Unlike his sister who never lost ANY of hers, Eli will soon be bald. I foresee many hats in his future....I love my little man!
My cool friend, Michelle Monk, recently took Eli's 3 month pictures. These are just a sample of what's to come.


I am blessed... God is so good to our family. I thank Him that I am able to stay home with my children. I am thankful for the husband He has given me. May I never take a day with them for granted...

The love of my life...
