Oh my, Mymy

Every day Mya plays in her crib while I put Carter down for his nap - usually 10-15 minutes.  Today I came out and all was silent.  Hmm, that's strange, usually she's talking.  I look in her crib and she is laying down totally still.  Is she sleeping???!

Yep.  Totally asleep.  Soo, soo cute, but dang, it.  She's not in a diaper that will last a whole nap!  So I changed it.  Nothing worse that waking up soaked in pee, right?  So I braved it knowing she very well could wake up.  After all her cloth diapers have SIX snaps.  And they aren't quite when you unsnap them.

Surprisingly I was able to get her diaper off, roll her over and get a new diaper on and she slept through the entire thing.  Even did a few of the cute little lip sucking things.   Oh how I love this little girl!

Working on his construction plans... just like Daddy!  Or it is a big coloring book.  Either way.

Mya video

Mya's latest trick: scrunching up her nose and breathing in and out really fast and loud.  Silly girl!

PICTURES!

I have no clue what has been going on with my flickr account and why my pictures often show up as "unavailable".  Unfortunately flickr has terrible customer service and has not responded to my issues.  So we'll try posting some pictures and see how it goes! 

Since I've been such a bad blogger there are so many things I need to blog about but haven't yet.  Kid updates being at the top of the list. 

Carter.  My little person.  He's growing so much.  Both physically and mentally.  He has really started talking, yeay!, is starting to potty train, sleeps in his big boy bed, loves his sister, is super tall, very active, loves to be outside, LOVES to swim, and loves his sister.

A few of my favorite Carterisms: "mom kiss".  I ask him to give "mom a kiss" all the time.  He now thinks that kisses are called "mom kiss".  Whenever he gives a kiss he says "mom kiss".  So funny and so cute!  Joe even asks for a "mom kiss" from Carter.  So adorable!

Potty training.  This time around it is going so well!  No 3 day bullshit and no pressure.  Just the potty out and available if he wants to.  He has been averaging about 4-5 times a day and has even pooped on the potty!  After a successful potty in the potty he runs to the bathroom so we can flush, wash his hands and then he runs to the pantry and waits for his candy.  His little voice all excited for his "tandy" is adorable!  He is so proud of himself!

Mya.  She is such a happy happy baby!  She is always smiling and giggling.  She is such a little girl. She loves her big brother, watching Kody run up and down the stairs, reading books, trucks, and her exersaucer.  She has finally started to like a few foods.  Not the homemade organic stuff Mama made though :(  She is still a huge Mama's girl and loves to snuggle.  She isn't quite sleeping through the night yet.  She is usually up 1 or 2 times a nigh.  Usually once.  She has two bottom teeth and the most amazing bright blue eyes.
