Some new happenings in 2011

This year is off to a fast start!

First, we have hit the potty training hard the last couple of days. Since New Years Day, Dutch has only had a handful of accidents and has stayed dry through every nap and even at night. He is pretty good about going on his own, but I do constantly remind him that he needs to go (literally, it is at least 50 times a day, if not more, to the point where he says "NOOOOO, Mama, I just told you!"). We are very proud of him and hope that he continues and it clicks forgood! We are having trouble getting him to go #2 in the potty (sorry if that's TMI), but I hear this is very common so I hope for a change SOON!

As for Lane, she is BUSY! She has begun tostand alone a few times and is cruising like a champ around all the furniture. She has also started saying "dada", "uh oh" and something that sounds like "kitty cat". I think it is safe to say that she will probably be walking soon. We can tell that she really wants to let go and just go for it, but then she collapses onto the floor - she'll get it, but for now I am okay with having a crawler :) She eats all sorts of foods, but her favorites are bread, pasta, pancakes, greens, and applesauce. She is by far the better eater between she and Dutch. She likes most foods and will try anything. She will definitely bethe richest in our family - she ate more collards than any of us! She also has started drinking from a sippy cup and prefers it over the bottle. She is growing like a weed and it saddens me that it is happening so fast! She is 10 months TODAY!

Pictures - enjoy!



These last two pictures were taken at Gattitown at our 1st Annual Kids Christmas Party. A friend of ours coordinated it and it turned out great. Each child drew another child's name and that day at Gattitown, everyone exchanged gifts. There were about 20 kids that participated. It worked out better than buying each child a gift - especially since we are good friends with so many of them.
