Hanging out with some of my favorite people in the world...

So this week I am staying with my brothers and sisters at my parents house, while they are in Jamaica! We are already having a blast! They love to play with Tori and I am getting spoiled rotten with all these extra hands!! Looking forward to a week of swimming every day, and just enjoying the beginning of their summer break with them!!

"Mommy my nose is hurtin"

This is all I heard all morning. Tori's nose was bugging her for sure. She kept picking and picking. I tried to help her blow her nose, I tried to look in her nose to see if anything was there, I saw nothing!! Finally I just said "Baby, I'm sorry your nose hurts just keep trying to blow it when you need to" Adam got home around noon, and she was still whining. Right after lunch, she blew her nose hard one good time and out popped a popcorn kernel... wow lol we had to laugh, and Tori was just so relieved that it was out that she just laughed with us... We then had along talk about how we do not stick things in our nose or our ears because it could hurt us! haha... All in a days work!!

1 step forward 2 steps back...

So Tori has been doing great potty training... Until about 4 days ago... She has decided she is not going to go # 2 in the potty... Now what!?!?!? She goes into a corner and hides to do her business in her panties.... Mommy is frustrated, but we are going to get this!! Just a few backwards steps...

Photo shoot with Mommy

So we had borrowed a studio set-up for my dad's big surprise party and Lindsay and I set it up at my house to test it out. After Lindsay left, Tori and I had some fun... Got some very sweet pictures and had fun playing!!

Potty Training update

Potty training has been going so well I almost forgot to write about it!! Tori is wearing big girl pants almost all the time, and though we still have some accidents, she is staying dry 80% of the time!!!! I am so proud of her!! We have even made quite a few outings in big girl pants and have not had an accident out of the house yet!! It's only at home when she gets to playing and forgets until almost too late... But she usually makes it with only a little accident. She is so independent, and we no longer have to give rewards, it's becoming a way of life!! Still in diapers at night, but that's to be expected, we are working on staying dry at naptime first, then we will work on all night :) My baby is OFFICIALLY a big girl!! So bittersweet! :(
