She did it!!!!!!!!

ByKaren
Holly finally went pee pees on the potty!!!! This is such a big thing for us because though she has sat on the potty many many times, she never actually did anything. Well on Thursday night, Steve and Holly talked about going on the potty and she said tomorrow. Not that we really believed her, but I did still ask her in the morning if she wanted to go on the potty. She said yes. So we went into the bathroom (all 3 of us, I was feeding Allison at the same time) and she sat down and in just about no time she got up and said “look mommy, pee pees” and I couldn’t believe my eyes, there were pee pees in the potty. That’s a sight I’ve been wanting to see for so long now. So I started jumping up and down (remember I was feeding Allison too, so it was pretty funny) and telling her how proud I was of her and how great this was and she was such a big girl and then she sat down, did some more, got up and looked at it again, then sat down and did some more. Each time she would get up and look in the potty. It was a great moment and she told me it was fun. Well, unfortunately that was the only time it happened over the weekend but I plan on working on it more. I’ll keep you all posted.

We had some friends over this weekend (Hi Melissa, Bob and Jeff!) and Holly had a great time with them. She loves when new people come over because they almost always play with her and she gets bored with just mommy and daddy. Of course they did all play with her and she had a blast. Allison was great also all weekend and Melissa had the perfect touch and was able to put her to sleep a few times without problem at all. That was nice, having another set of hands to help out with Allison. We had a nice weekend.

Just some pictures of the girls from the last week.

Holly was so exhausted she fell asleep on the couch watching Sponge Bob…..it was cute!
A nice nap after a good bottle!
Allison is making friends with Holly’s baby doll Sara. Their outfits even match!

A smile…..not the best one but I finally caught one on film!

Lounging outside.


Melissa and Allison

Allison is getting so big so fast. She’ll be 7 weeks this week already, can you believe it?! We officially moved her into her crib this weekend at night and she’s doing great. I loved having her in the co-sleeper next to me but it was time to let her sleep in a bigger space. She moves around a lot some nights and I just want her to sleep as best as she can, and she does sleep great. She goes down sometime between 7:30 -10 for the night and then gets up a couple of times to eat but goes back to bed and then is up in the morning between 7-8am. Not bad at all.

Bad Blogger…….

ByKaren

That’s what I am… A bad blogger. Sorry. I just don’t get as many good pictures and videos of Holly lately. She’s onto me. When she see’s the camera she runs the other way. I guess after 10,000 pictures in less than 2 years, it gets pretty old. But today, she seemed to be in a good picture taking mood. So I got a few cute shots of her. I tried really hard because I know that some people are looking at my blog daily just to see another cute picture of Holly. I had dinner with my friend Kim the other night (Hi Kim) and she hinted around that I need to update more often. Here you go Kim, some pictures and another cute…

Good Night Hugs

ByKaren

Allison is usually very good about going to bed. She has been from the beginning. We didn’t have to go through any kind of sleep training with her, like we did with Holly. And I’m happy about that because it wasn’t easy. When it’s time for her to go to bed I tell her and then she goes to give Steve a hug and kiss (and she pats him on the back while she hugs him, it’s so cute) and then she runs up to Holly and puts her arms all the way around her, sometimes almost knocking her over. And then I get my hug and kiss and off to bed with Zebra. I kept meaning to get a picture of her hugging Holly…

We have YELLOW!!!!

ByKaren

The baby’s room is finally yellow. I am SO happy with how it’s turned out. We will put one more coat on this weekend, but it looks so GREAT! I was so afraid that the color was going to be wrong, when ever I pick out paint, once it’s mixed and bought, I second guess myself the entire time until it’s up on the walls. I couldn’t be more happier about the way this room has turned out. I can NOT WAIT to get the nursery set up now. Here are some pictures of our new Yellow room. Of course when little miss Holly saw me with the camera she came running down the hall yelling ‘cheese’ and making her silly little smile face, so…

Happy 2nd Birthday HOLLY!!!!

ByKaren

Today is my baby girls 2nd birthday. I can’t believe how fast the past 2 years have gone by. It’s been so amazing and fun since the day she was born. Our lives changed in a way that no one could ever explain to us, but it was the best change ever. Holly is an amazing little girl and has brought so much joy to everyone who knows her. She’s smart, funny, silly, loving, cuddly and so much more. There are days that Steve and I just look at her and think, how could we not love her as much as we do. She’s a blessing to our lives and we LOVER HER beyond words and actions. Yesterday we had her 2 year picture taken…

Happy Monday……..

ByKaren

I’ve been told I am a bad blogger so this post is out of guilt for not blogging for over a week!!! (Hi KIM). It’s been busy with the long weekend, trying to get things done and Holly’s been fighting a cough and up at night for a little bit so her and I have not had a full nights rest for 3 nights. Hopefully she’ll be better soon. Steve’s been fighting a cold and it’s just about gone, and luckily I’ve been feeling pretty good. Holly has a rocking horse she received for her 1st Christmas from her aunt and uncle. She’s never been on it, just pets the horse and says “good horsie”. I’ve been trying for a while to get her to…

  2. Hi Angela. Great pictures, Karen. We really enjoyed spending the weekend with you all and meeting Allison. Bob actually saw today’s blog before I did and told me to look at it – role reversal!
