Potty Time!

That's right we have begun potty training. Asher is doing really well. He's been sitting on the toilet for a few months, nothing consistent and usually not productive, but then he started informing me when he was peeing and pooping and then began waking up dry... so I guess that means I have to be ready too. The first day was amazing and then pooping had to happen. It was a wonderful experience!  (I hope you can feel the sarcasm!) I walked into his room, with him standing in a puddle of poop! I took him to the tub as I tried to figure out how to begin the clean-up. He had his underwear down and around one ankle as he lifted his foot and began shaking his leg to get them off. I've never seen poop in so many places at once! In my hair, down my shirt, on the wall on the opposite side of the bathroom... everywhere. Good times!
He does look cute in his undies though! He insists on wearing them backwards so the big picture is in front where he can see it. He really is doing well since the christening of the bathroom.

Let the drama begin

Everyone has told me girls are really dramatic and I didn't believe this would happen, not to our sweet Evie, but oh, I was wrong.  She's upset because I insulted her with a bottle when I should've know that is NOT what she wanted!
She is doing a lot of fun stuff. She is now able to stand by herself for about 2 min, and she has tried to take steps a few times, but since she has not successfully landed I don't know if this counts as "first steps".  She mimics us by trying to put on necklaces, her hair bows, talk on the phone and points to pictures in the book like we do. She loves to put things in and out of other things. She loves water. We've taken her to the pool a couple times and she wiggles all she can to be as much in the water as possible. She still loves to play games with Asher, like throwing her bottle and him fetching it, although he doesn't like this game nearly as much as she does.

Watermelon

Who doesn't love watermelon? But seriously most of us wait until it's been sliced! I started to cut the watermelon and left for a second, and this is what I came back to! Silly boy.
