Updates on the family :)

Well after a whole 9 days of Abby sleeping in her toddler bed, she's totally grasped the concept! She goes down for her nap but I need to be diligent in making sure she has her lunch first and gets in her bed before 12:30! she has a short window for nap and if I pass it, she can't/won't fall asleep!

We moved Christian into his crib last week and it's been tough! He was waking up at 3:30 or 4:30 in the morning and would just cry. Abby even walked in to comfort him one night :) So sweet! Sunday night, he cried for 30 minutes before he finally conked out! Monday night, it took him 12 minutes to calm down before I heard him playing with his toys. He eventually fell asleep without another peep! Last night, Robby laid him down and he didn't fuss ONCE! He's getting the hang of it! Yeah!

Did I mention too that Abby's started potty training herself? For her birthday, I'd purchased a potty chair, knowing we'd start that sometime during her 2nd year of life. She's totally got it down. She comes running to me saying "POTTY ChAIR POTTY CHAIR" when she needs to go! Unfortunately for me, I'm not always able to drop what I'm doing to take her! She doesn't really want to wear diapers anymore either. We bought special princess pull ups, big girl diapers for her. This is a fun experience :) I'm not ready to switch to big girl UNDERWARE but we'll get there eventually. Right now we're enjoying our tries!

Robby and I have been getting up at 6- to read the Bible together and do our Bible study. I haven't been going to bed early enough either to feel rested when the alarm goes off at 6-! I also GAINED back 1 of the 6 pounds I'd lost. Bleah.

That's all the new news going on here :) Eventually, I'll get some pics up from Abby's little birthday party!

Yay for Abby potty training! I think Carter sees the potty as a decoration in the bathroom. Sad.

Are you kidding me???? Can you please send Abby over to teach the boys! (I'm not kidding) They want nothing to do with it..so take full advantage of this amazing opportunity. I can't believe she's only just turned 2!
