Baby Bumps

I've had a few requests for a baby bump picture. So here's how I look at 24ish weeks.

And here's Mia's impersonation of me. The other week she found a balloon and stuck it up her dress saying she had a baby in her tummy too.

Such a spiritual 2 year old.....hahah

Before going to bed, John and I peeked in on Mia to find this....


she was asleep on her knees like she'd been praying. haha...

I Can Declare It Now.... Officially Potty Trained!!!

After a couple weeks of no diapers (not even at night) with no accidents I think that I can say Mia is potty trained! Hallelujah! I remember thinking this day would never come. I was really quite surprised at how smoothly this all went. Mia picked out some princess panties and decided she wanted to wear them, so I told her she could but to not get them wet. I have a friend who works at a daycare and said potty training is her favorite... she said just put kids in panties with diapers during naps and at night and in a couple days they figure it out. Sure enough... we stayed close to home for a couple days and just a few accidents later (and some major bribery of course) we were there! Although Mia has already started working the system... she figured out that if she uses her potty chair more frequently even if not a lot comes out she gets more treats. Thankfully we've been able to scale back from lollipops and cookies for her BM... to now just 2 marshmallows :) Especially since shes gone from one BM a day (when in diapers) to now sometimes 4.... she's really milking it! Sorry.... probably too much detail :)

That Looks Familiar!

My childhood memories have been built on plagiarism!!

Fairytale Town

We went to my cousin's wedding in Sacramento and had some time to kill in between things, so we spent some time at Fairytale Town...its a fun spot that shows scenes from Fairytales. Mia loved it until she fell and scraped her leg and we didn't have a Snoopy bandaid like Grandma has to make it all better.
