I'm a Big Boy Now

We have a big boy in our house now. Yes, Tyson is pottytrained. I had originally planned to start the pottytraining process in January when he would be three and after the holidays. Also, I was so not excited about pottytraining cause I heard it was so hard and boys were especially challenging. Well that was not my experience. I felt (keep in mind this was my first child pottytraining) that it wasn't too bad. Tyson took about a week to be pottytrained. The first couple days I would have him go about every 30 minutes. Now I ask him about every hour and if he tells me no I trust him (that has backfired on me a few times) then I just take him 5 or 10 mintues later just in case. Whenever I took him out I would put him in a pull up cause I was scared of him having an accident but then I decided that was not a good idea so I then decided it didn't matter and from then on he would just wear underwear. He tells us he has to go half the time, sometimes he just runs on his own, but he still has to be prodded to go about every hour. Smarties treats were a good incentive for him as well. He still has a few small accidents here and there but he is doing REALLY well and has caught on quickly. I am so glad I tried it out and did not wait until January. He still wears a diaper at night, we will work on that as time goes on. But I can handle one diaper a night. Yay for Tyson.

Some September Fun

We have played with toys in the house.


Eliza has gotten into Tyson's left over cookie. We actually call her our little vacuum cause she constantly is finding things on the ground to put in her mouth. Her favorite spot is under Tysons chair at the dinner table. She can find all kind of good leftovers there.


Eliza chowing on some chicken nuggets for lunch.


Tyson stood her up in this position.

Tyson helping dad make pancakes. He loves to help us cook and if we are in the kitchen doing so Tyson will pull up a chair and see what he can do to help cook.

And Mike doing homework. The oh so fun of school.

10 Months

My baby girl is 10 months. She is such a good little baby. She is crawling, pulling herself up on things, can stand by herself for a few seconds, and can get from a tummy position to sitting up position. She loves to eat real food, loves books, baths, her binkie, attention, and pulling on moms hair. She is our sweet little thing. We sure love her.

Happy Birthday

I turned 26 today. We actually celebrated my birthday on Labor Day, Monday, September 5th because Mike would be at work and school on my actual birthday. So Monday night we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. We ended up having cake on my birthday the 6th inbetween Mike getting home from work and going to school. He even made me my cake. What a sweet husband. Mike gave me some clothes which I happened to have to return and got double the amount he got me for the same price. Even though my actual birthday was filled with normal everyday things it was still fun going out to dinner with my cute little family and having cake.

Eliza is Crawling!

Eliza has been scooting for a little while and half crawling half scooting. She is getting the crawling thing down though. My sweet baby is growing up.
