Potty Progress!!

No pictures...but Colin is making progress on the potty. He is doing great staying dry and is finally starting to do #2. We found a great incentive...jellybeans! (thank you Chicago trip). Tonight he was so proud to show us...he had a "mama poopy, a baby poopy"...and then came the "daddy poopy". I never thought I'd get so excited about poo!

Chicago Weekend

Jelly Belly Tour...Mmmm!!!

Passed out after deep dish pizza and swimming

Fun at Shedd Aquarium...very neat dolphin show!

Riding the city bus...of course, the highlight of the trip!

Colin really got into Build-a-Bear on Navy Pier...he got to push the pedal to stuff him, put a heart in, and give him lots of baths. He remembers the whole process...especially that he gave his bear lots of baths. He named him Black.

After no nap, Colin passed out in his stroller at 6:30 on our walk back to the hotel...he slept solid all night!!

Happy Valentine's Day

Fun Reading...

Colin is starting to get into "reading" on his own. It is so fun!! He has such a good memory and can go through many of his favorite books now. I love hearing him reading in bed!

Swimming!

Colin is doing really well learning to swim...we're doing lots of practice!

Steppin'

Kendra loves to take steps...if you put her behind a laundry basket, she'll do it all by herself....she just can't wait to catch up to her big brother!

7 months already!!

Kendra is SO fun!! She is still just army crawling although she gets frustrated quicker now - she really wants to keep up with her big brother. She is starting to eat finger foods (no teeth yet, so just puffs) but she is amazingly good with her pinchers! She is also babbling a lot more now and loves to stand and take steps.
