GREAT DAUGHTER

I want the world to know what a great daughter we have….Amy threw us a surprise Anniversary party for our 20 year….she is the greatest…I hope she knows how much we love her….. From Mimi and Papaw

Where's the sitter?????

Mimi, made cupcakes and the girls (Sarah & Sophie) cleaned up.....well they started out that way then they just played in the water........

BATHTIME FUN!!!!

Washing her armpits!!! Cracks us up :)

Would be cute if Sophie's hand wasn't covering Lily's face!!

We have been doing this for a couple of weeks now. Easier because you are bathing them at the same. Harder because to have to be bent down for so long. We prefer to do it this way because Sophie loves to take a bath with her sister . . . that is her new thing . . . my sister, is what she calls her now :)

Helping!

This is one of Sophie's favorite things to do . . . Help Mommy give Lily a bath :)

Who you calling Big Boned???

She is my Chunky Monkey! Look at that belly and double chin :) She already weighs almost as much as Sophie did at 4 months! Sophie has been in the 25th percentile most of the time, maybe now I just have a normal sized one :)

Lily's done :(

Down for the count

This is how we found her when we checked on her before we went to bed last night!! Sideways in the bed, butt in the air!! So cute :) Mimi and Honey both got her a set of these Dora sheets for Christmas. Thanks guys! She loves them!!

Look at Lily's hair

Papaw trying to calm Lily down

Poor Lily had some tummy issues and she was passed around like a sack of taters.....but papaw seem to be the one she wanted....

Having fun

Tyler and Sophie can have fun with anything anywhere.....we went to Honey's (Sophie's grandma) house for game night.....

Potty Training 101

Well, we have been forced into potty training!! Yes, I know Sophie is young to be doing this. Someone kept taking thier diapers off. Monday morning I walked into a poopy mess (to put it nicely) I kept my cool and just said that's it Sophie no more diapers we are using the potty. I will have to say that is is the hardest part of parenthood thus far (teenage years, I am sure will top this) For the last two days we have been doing what they call the "bare bottom" approach. Nothing on from the waste down. She was confined to the Dining room/Kitchen/Bathroom area for two days. She had a little TV to watch movies, books, a few toys and of course her potty chair. Yes, I thought the Doctor was crazy for telling me this also, but I tell ya, it works. After cleaning up pee a few times and reminding her constantly to use the potty, she got it. Last night she was so cute! She was trying to give Lily a high five, and she was mad that Lily didn't give her one back!! Today she was given more freedom and I let her play in the family room and play room. We also put panties on. So far today we have had only one poopy accident. She even, with out any reminders from me, pulled her panties down and peed on her own!!! The bottom pic is a chocolate smile from an M&M she got after she peed all by herself! I have two and half weeks left until I go back to work. I hope this all done by then!

We got the smile!!!

Took me a while and she was getting quite annoyed with the camera, but I finally got it!! She has been soooo smiley today :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

I see you!

Up close and personal! She has just starting smiling this week and I was trying to get a picture! No Luck, but what a sweet face!!

Sleeping like a baby!

This is how I found her yesterday!!!

Yeah, I like her too!!

Buddy's little buddy :)

We found a puppy!

Aaron found this "little" guy under his truck this morning! He is so sweet and Sophie loves him to death! They play so well together. We went to Kroger and got him a collar and some shampoo. He was in need of a bath :) If no one claims him, we are keeping him! He gets along with Bosco and the cats just fine. He is going to be a BIG boy!! He is already almost just as tall as Bosco, who weighs fifty pounds.

Outside!!!

For the first time in weeks! Since Sophie was feeling much better and it as been close to 60 degress here, we decided to go outside and play! I think she needed it!!!

Monkeyin' around with Dad :)

Is top pic not such a princess pose???

Don't be blue

This was supposed to be Lily's picture outfit at the hospital. Of course, it was too big. Still is slightly big, but I was dying to get it on her :) Thanks Mimi! Cutest part??? The little pink boots! Aaron got those for Sophie and I think she wore them once before it got too warm outside!! I am glad Lily will get some use out of them.

So sweet :)

I never thought I would enjoy having girls this much! They just melt your heart!!!
