We went to see the big guy last week. I was fearing the worst but it turned out okay, as long as I was in the picture too. Julianna has a death grip on me but they each talked to Santa when it was time to go. And then the dreaded "need to potty" while paying at the cashier.
Yikes! Not ready for that part of potty training.
I tried to get a few more shots when we got home but it was nearing bedtime.
Now, if it would just cool down it would "feel" like Christmas!
We are so surprised with this little girl every day. She just can't wait to keep up with her brother and sister. She is crawling and starting to pull up on things which has led us to lower her bed. The floor is her favorite place to be. She continues to be the happiest baby ever!
Emerson was 14 lbs. 12 oz and 25.75 inches long at her 6 month check up. She seems to like fruit but her veggies come right back out...just like her brother! She is drinking 4-6oz bottles and has been sleeping all night in the nursery.
They are all enjoying the Christmas decorations. C and J tried to help decorate while I was distracted with Emmie's photo shoot.
Julianna is officially potty trained and in four days. I am shocked that it worked that well. She keeps checking her Teddy to see if she's dry and telling her what a good job she's doing. It's soooo cute! Christian is still a work in progress but is so willing to sit and chill on the potty chair. He just drinks so much! He's not a huge fan of pretending with the bear but he does give it
big bear hugs so who knows.
They were reading tonight and all I kept thinking was please don't potty on the rug or pillows.
The training pants don't hold much.
The teddy bear worked like a charm for Julianna and they also love adding Elmo stickers to their posters. The "treats" weren't that big of a motivator after the first day but they
don't get many sweets so that's okay with us!
"Duck Goes Potty" is the book that turned on the light bulb for Julianna though. Every time she goes she says, "just like Duck".
Emerson has been very patient through this process. Today Julianna asked to go potty ("Need to potty Mommy, hurry, hurry") during Emerson's bottle so she waiting very patiently (for 10 minutes) while we did "business".
I caught her talking to Lexus today (between hiccups) while the twins were napping.
In the bath tonight.
Julianna has really warmed up to "our baby" over the past couple months. Daddy interrupted her singing. She usually says the title of the song she's going to sing and then proceeds to shout it out. Sometimes if you join in you get shushed.
Despite our best efforts to remain old school we have given in and created a blog to share the joys of parenting twins plus one with family and friends. Enjoy!
