And the Award goes to ....TAYLOR

So the hair is a sign of a very busy day, you pick & choose your battles & hair was not one I chose on the last day of potty training.

Wow what a week shots for Rilee on Tuesday and Potty Training for Taylor Wednesday through Friday. Yep potty trained in three days even nights all thanks to my friend Darla who used Lora Jensens Potty Training in 3 Days and told me about it just go to 3daypottytraining.com if interested. This method was the best for Taylor she did awesome and it was so much better than my 1st attempt this last summer with another book. Taylor learned quickly her own body signals. The 1st night she woke up dry, the 2nd night one small accident, and the 3rd night she got up on her own to go potty and woke up dry. The days were just as great (don't get me wrong there are those moments, especially with an infant) she only had 8 accidents the 1st day and 8 potties on the toilet, the 2nd day about 4 accidents and 9 times on the potty and the 3rd day 27 times on the potty, lots of fluid, and 1 accident just before bed, which was actually more my fault, she headed to the potty but I thought she was just playing to stay up but she wasn't, anyway small mess. I am SO PROUD of her she has been awesome and has done EXCELLENT. With the right words & Patience, Love & Consistency Taylor was Potty Trained in 3 days. Here is a recap of our last couple days.
Putting make-up on like mommy does, "Oh Beautiful" she'd say. Like the John Deere hat, her favorite.
Playing with her Dolly's many times. Leading music like in church, this was the only picture she would let me get but she loves to lead music, or pretend anyway. Tea time with the Babies even an interactive baby. Rilee got the "Good" sister award for be so patient most of the time while Mommy would run Taylor to the potty.

Daddy helping out with bath time, dinner time & bedtime or whatever I asked.


Oh the games we played, memory, fish, learned ABC's, Tea Time, Dress up & more. Side by side all 3 days.
All in all we had a great 3 days. Yes very stressful at times, but very rewarding by day three. We are very proud of our Taylor & she is too. Oh ya Taylor learned when you go potty your a good girl, even when your daddy, "Good girl daddy" she'd say.

Out of the Mouths of Babes...

So the other day Rilee, Taylor & I were just hanging out and I gave Taylor a treat, scooby doo gummies, well she was sharing them with me and I bit into one and it felt like I broke my jaw it hurt so bad (I have a bad jaw and if I bite just right it pops) well it hurt so bad I hit my foot to the floor and Taylor jump backed and just looked at me and said "sorry mom" well she looked at my foot and went over and gave it a kiss to make it all better. Then it was all better.

Rilee 4 Months Old

Can you believe it, our baby is 4 months old. Rilee had her 4 month check up and shots, yuck, and is doing great she now weighs 15 lbs 11 oz, she is 25" long and her head is 16". She is in the upper 80th percentile for her weight and height and in the 40th percentile for her head. She is a growing girl. Rilee sleeps through the night except on one or two occasions she will wake up once during the night. She is a very happy baby, still working on getting all the kinks out for bed time though, have figured out the morning nap and working on figuring out the afternoon naps. We are all doing great and enjoying our little sweetie in our little family.

Sugar & Spice & Everything Nice...

So yesterday Taylor had here little friend Jetta over while her mom was taking care of business. We started out the morning working on their ABC's then we painted finger nails and put stickers on them then we just hung out. After a while the girls started to get tired and I asked if they wanted to take a nap and this is what I got.
They wanted to be on the same couch with their favorite stuffed animals, their milkie and blankie. After the nap thing didn't work out, go fiqure, they eneded up getting Taylor's head bands,hat and scarf and played dress up. Aren't they so cute, only two and quite the imagination.Well needless to say we had quite the day and Rilee was such a good little girl she just watched and played herself. Although around 2, well after Taylor's regular nap time, Taylor was wearing down and not in the best of mood so she went down for a nap and Jetta went home. After Taylor's nap she got up and went looking for Jetta and was so sad she was not here. We'll today we are going to spend the morning with her and her mom and play some more. It is so fun to see the little ones play together.
This picture was from the day before after Taylor got ahold of her head bands:)

Rilee & Taylor

A few weeks ago we started this little game with Rilee and Taylor then yesterday Taylor wanted Rilee to play with her so this is what she did.
Taylor loves her little sister, I know I say it over and over but she loves to go in with me in morning and get her out of bed, she loves to get in her face and steal kisses, she loves to play with her toys and tons more. They are so cute together and we love it.
