Potty training!!

My little girl is becoming such a big girl and so fast!!!! On the subject of potty training she had been showing signs for a while that she was ready and this being prior to Maverick being born.  But we really didn't want to train her and then have Maverick and revert back because of the "trauma" per se of having a sibling around.  Well we were waiting for things to settle down for her and then her cousins came to visit, the older cousin Calista has been potty trained recently and Rogue was watching her go to the bathroom with a parent, go potty and get praised.  She also saw the pretty "big girl panties" she got to wear and thought that was pretty cool too, next thing I know she was wanting to go on the potty too.  So we officially started potty training last monday, and by this point I think we are pretty well potty trained.  she tells me when she has to go, we haven't had any accidents in the last couple days and even drove to Walla Walla (an hour drive there) and back without any accidents. I even let her sleep last night in her big girl panties and we didn't have an accident!!!  she loves her panties and she gets stickers (tinkerbell ones to be exact) or a chocolate when she goes potty.  I am grateful we pretty well have her trained ( I still expect some accidents in the future) but my diaper bill will be drastically reduced!!

 My happy girl!

Maverick 2 months

Maverick, your 2 months stats:

weight:11.75 lbs

length: 14.58

head circumference: 40 cm

your are at the 50th percentile for everything except your length which was at the 75th percentile (with all the height in your family excluding your mother and nana, that isn't all that surprising!)

you still love to cuddle and stay awake during longer periods of time taking in all the sights and sounds you can see and hear. You are now starting to coo, blow bubbles and smile.  You just LOVE to talk to anyone who will talk to you. You of course just love your mommy to pieces and when I'm gone for just a little bit and come back to you, your face lights up and you flail your arms and legs in welcome. You like spending time with your daddy but he says you love me more but that's pretty normal at this stage, I know soon enough you'll want to everything daddy does. You watch your big sister in wonder and look amazed at her energy and noise.  She does love you even though she does get a little jealous at how much attention you get.  Every now and then she'll even give you a kiss!! 

 2 months old!

eeek! Sister's kissing me!

Maverick one month

Maverick, your first month has gone by pretty smoothly.  you pretty well sleep through the night with only waking up briefly once maybe twice during the night just long enough to "get a drink" and then you promptly fall back to sleep again (of course I change your diaper during that time but you usually sleep right through it.) You are looking around more and becoming more observant of things.  You are a major snuggle bug, you just LOVE to snuggle with mommy until you fall asleep. You can lift you head for a little bit and you seem bound and determined to keep at it so you can look around your little world. You like to favor turning your head to the left which has become a little bit of a problem because it has made your neck a little stiff and your head has flattened slightly but mommy and daddy are making you look the other way and in just a couple days it has made a lot of difference.  You have been gaining lots of weight and have even gotten taller since you were born but we won't know your official numbers until next month when you see the doctor and get your second set of shots (poor baby).
