Rollin'




Kyle turned 3 months old yesterday and today he rolled over for the first time! It was so great to experience this first with him and I cannot wait to experience more. He is getting so big and looking less and less like a newborn and more and more like a baby boy. He is very talkative and loud. He loves to make sure that everyone can hear him. He already has BOY written all over him. He is active ALL the time; moving his legs, looking around, and standing. He still hasn't quite figured sleeping out yet but he is working on it. Hopefully he'll get the hang of it soon because not only does mommy need sleep, but so does Kyle. He is so much fun and we love him so much! Can't wait to see what unfolds over the next few months!

Making the bed

I just wanted to share this video because it makes me smile. Lilly's laugh is contagious and if you listen really closely you can hear Kyle giggle as he watches Lilly. I had asked Lilly on this morning to make her bed and she started to just like every other time, but then as she was pulling the blanket straight she noticed some wrinkles and decided to bounce them out! I don't know why I never thought of this method, but she seemed to have a lot of fun and she jumped for close to 20 minutes!

I'm a big girl now!


Lilly has officially stopped wearing diapers during the day. She only wears them at nap and bedtime. What I thought was going to be a long grueling process turned out to be not so bad. Don't get me wrong, she still doesn't go number 2 on the potty, but for over a week now she hasn't had any wet accidents and even after nap her diaper is still most of the time dry and she reminds us to go when she gets up. The first few days were a little rough for her, but she is way better now. She made her major break through at church of all places. She had only been pottying on the potty for 2 or 3 days and she decided that while at church she wasn't comfortable telling anyone she had to go so she waited till we we in the car and she let us know she had to go and we got her home and sure enough her diaper was dry and she really had to go! It's funny that 2 of her major milestones happened at church...walking and potty holding. She has also started telling us when we are out and about that she has to go and will now use a public restroom, even when she has a diaper on (we have kept her in diapers when we are out and what not just in case since it is all fairly new to her)
(She has grown up SO much)

(In this picture she is showing off her big girl panties)
Lilly is so proud of her big girl panties and she gets so excited when she goes potty. The first few days she would hop up and jump up and down saying "cookie cookie" and proudly show us her efforts. She has filled her sticker chart and continues to add stickers just to continue to encourage how awesome she is doing. Needless to say I am one proud mama!

Back in FoCo

For most of August we get to see our good friends Kathleen and Tyler! Kathleen's husband John is in the Army and so 6 months ago moved to Missouri for some schooling and are now moving to good ol' Texas! We have missed them so much and are enjoying getting to spend time with them again! I will be sad when they have to leave again, but until then we will try to enjoy our time together.
