Maddie Says: Cavities

We were at dinner tonight and the subject of brushing teeth came up. We told Maddie if she didn't brush her teeth she would cavities in her teeth.

Maddie asked "If I don't go poop, I'll get cavities in my butt?"

Hilarious!!!

Madeleine - Goes to the potty on her own!

Maddie has been doing so well at going to the bathroom on her own!!

We've tried really hard to get her to independently go to the bathroom, especially after/during naptime or in the morning when she wakes up. She has been pooping in her diaper during naptime or right when she wakes up in the morning, so Joseph told her that if she has to poop, it is okay for her to get out of bed and walk to the bathroom (right around the corner from her bedroom) and walk up the little stool to go potty.

Starting Sunday 11/5/17, she got up from her nap to poop.
And on the following Monday 11/6/17 she had gotten up at some point in the middle of the night or early morning (we have no idea when as neither of us heard her open her door) and had a huge poop in the potty!! She pulled her diaper and pants back up and went back to bed!!

Since then she has been going to the bathroom upstairs all by herself if needed - both pee AND poop. She does have a bit of trouble getting her diaper back on in the morning since it's gotten heavy overnight, but it's been so great having her do this all on her own, and no more wiping poop off her butt!

Happy Thanksgiving 2017!

We had a nice relaxing Thanksgiving Day at home!  We played in the morning until Pau Pau and Uncle Jeff came over for Thanksgiving lunch. We took it easy as we were going to leave the next morning for a week and a half visit to Tulsa to visit family!

James loves his big sister Maddie!

So thankful for these two!

I love this picture! Taken before dinner. Maddie reading quietly on the couch while James naps.

11/23/17 - James rolls over again!

Today 11/23/17, James rolled over again, not once, but twice!  We all actually saw this one happen!

This picture isn't of the exact time he rolled over, but it shows him lowering his right shoulder and almost rolling! He actually rolled over around 10 minutes after I took this photo.

11/22/17 - James Rolls Over!!

James rolled over today (11/22/17) for the first time!! He rolled from tummy to back! I set him on his tummy and left quickly to get something from the kitchen. Of course by the time I got back he was on his back!  So proud of him, only 2.5 months old and has already rolled from tummy to back!

Just a few more Mid-November pictures & videos of the kids.

She was so proud of herself for building this TALL tower!

We went to visit a dear friend of mind whose baby boy is 3 months older than James!
I made them matching Yoda hats!

Just a video of James being cute

Maddie was having fun dancing in the morning before school. Of course as Joseph decides to take a video, she stops dancing and says "Let's go to school now" and no longer want to dance!

Maddie's 3rd Birthday Party & James 2 Month Party! (Video)

We had a combined party for both kids!  We celebrated Maddie's 3rd birthday and also invited over extended family to see James at 2 months (as opposed to the typical 1 month since the events were so close together).

We even got a video of the room full of friends and family singing Happy Birthday to Maddie!

We had a blast and it was so great spending the day with friends and family!
