Bedtime stories with Nuna

My mom stopped by tonight and cooked us dinner, held Nolan, read Lucy stories, and put Audrey and Lucy to bed...

Potty Training...

I had a week off of work so I thought I'd let Lucy try out some training pants. Turns out that I don't think Lucy is quite ready for potty training yet. Though she did pee and poop in the big girl potty a few times... Below are some photos of her technique:

Dear Nolan - 6 Months

Dear Nolan,

You continue to challenge us every day. You are inch-worming and rolling all over the place. Anything that you are not suppose to have, you will find a way to get to. Your favorite toys are not actually toys, but more likely, someone else’s hair, any dog toy (especially if it’s covered in dog hair or slobber), or something that Lucy is currently playing with. You like to bang on things like they're a drum and you have no qualms about rolling right on top of Audrey.

You still won’t sleep through the night and you can have transitioned from crying to screeching really really loud.

You are following in your big sister's footsteps and are a short, fat kid, with a big head. At your 6-month check-up you were:

Height: 25" (3%)

Weight: 19# (73%)

Head Size: 17.75cm (93%)

You are such a smiley guy (when you're not screaming in anger). Sometimes you will go from raging mad to happy just by someone making a move towards you that makes you think you're about to be picked up. I love when you and Audrey sit up facing each other and "baby-talk" and laugh at each other. It usually goes really well until she tries to eat your face or you head butt her.

You are my little son and I love you so much. You make me feel loved by always wanting me to hold you. I keep reminding myself that you will only be little for so long, and before long you will want to be doing things yourself and won’t need me to be constantly holding and coddling you. So as much work as it can be, I’m enjoying every minute of it while it lasts.

I'll always love you anyway,

Your mama

Dear Audrey - 6 Months

Dear Audrey,

You continue to amaze us every day. You can sit up by yourself. You will sit and play with a toy for hours. You prefer the toys with little details that you like to pinch between your fingers. You've even started to crawl (backwards).

Your 6 month stats were just perfect (no seriously, the dr. said "perfect"). 

Height: 24.5" (7%) 

Weight: 16.5# (59%)

Head Size: 17cm (79%)

You are the first kid asleep at night and the last one awake in the morning. You don’t cry when you wake up. We just go in to check on you and you will be just smiling and playing with your hands. Your face lights up the moment you see us. Many times you will stay awake while your brother and sister sleep (especially at nap time). I think it’s your little way to get 100% of mama and daddy’s attention.

I love to make you giggle. You like playing peek-a-boo and will even lift your shirt or dress up over your eyes and laugh. You are the sweetest little girl. You keep getting more beautiful each day. The easiest way to get you to smile is to smile at you. Happy faces make you smile :)

Everyone agrees, you are the sweetest little girl in the whole world.

I'll always love you anyway,

Your mama

Life as a SAHM...

Took Lucy to the dentist.
Met Kelly and the boys at the zoo.
Took a few selfies (will post later).
Drank lots of milk and apple juice.
Went potty on the big girl seat three times in one day.
Lots and lots of singing, dancing and mama snuggles!

So far the first two days have been pretty successful. I could get used to this.
