It's a new era...

Drum roll please......

Emma is potty trained!!! Yahoo! Only 1 in diapers! I have to say that she was (and is) completely amazing. It really only took about 48 hours for her to "get it" and now she's completely figured it out. She's even dry at naptime and overnight. Amazing.




On the Abby front, she started "cruising" the couch today. Still slow and a bit unsteady, but definitely taking those steps (while holding on to the couch). She's got a bit of a handicap at the moment - her right eye is pretty swollen, apparently the result of an allergic reaction. It doesn't seem to bother her any, but she certainly looks like she's been in a prize fight! Poor girl! So here's a couple of photos of Abby, pre-shiner :)

Happy Valentine's Day!



This is my favorite picture from a little photo shoot I did with the girls on the front porch. I usually get about 5-8 minutes to try to get a good shot so I always feel lucky if even just 1 of the 50 I snap in those few minutes actually turns out. And this one did!




This picture makes me laugh!! Now that Abby is pulling up everywhere, this is pretty much a routine shot of her - her big, beautiful, blue eyes peeking up at us.




Could she be any more beautiful?? This her "Belle dress" and it is her new favorite dress up attire. She cracks us up, running around in her princess dresses and plastic high heels - diaper in tow.



And big news around here...Emma had her first day of school last week! It's a parent participation preschool type of class. We go once a week and Emma already loves it. This is Emma on her first day - all smiles.

Happy February!
