She did it!

We have been reading and talking about using the potty for about 6 months and Malia decided that she was finally ready to ditch the diapers. She came to me and told me she was going to tinkle in the potty and that is just what she did. We ceremonially threw out the diapers and made quite a big deal of the new big girl underwear and within 4 days she was consistently tinkling in the potty! I thought this picture captured how excited and proud she was to go poopy on the potty. Who would have ever thought I could get this excited and feel so much pride over a bowel movement...my sweet M is growing up too fast!

It's a Girl!!!

Our ultrasound went wonderfully and we were thrilled to find out that we have a healthy little girl! We got more good news when we found out that my previa moved, my dr. had previously warned me it could take another couple of months, so I was ecstatic to hear that I now have a lateral placenta. Woohoo! Iam so thankful to be free of restrictions and looking forward to meeting another sweet little girl.

Nap Time

About the time I found out I was pregnant Malia decided she wasn't too crazyabout nap time anymore, I know perfect timing ;) For my sanity and the happiness of all parties I decided that she must stay in her room and nap, read or play quietly for at least an hour. Although she is exhausted she is determined to stay up, as you can see below she brought nearly every one of her books into bed with her before she finally crashed. Although we have differing opinions on the value of a good nap, I am thrilled that she enjoys a good book, or two, or twenty!
