Updates on the family

Long time no blog! It's been longer than I realized since I had posted anything on here. Sorry about that! :) I don't seem to have much computer time at night these days. Anyways, here are some random updates for you.

Kayla made the honor roll at school this semester. We went to the awards ceremony at her school a few weeks ago to see her get it. She also just had her science fair last week. Her project was pretty cool. She would have the person sit at her desk and give them a sheet of various math problems, and while you were doing that she was also playing different songs and telling you the name of the song. Afterwards, you had to name the songs in order. Basically it was testing multi-tasking. And guess who did better?! The younger ones! The adults didn't do so well at that!


Elijah has been working at mastering his Lego Star Wars game on his DS. :) He hasn't had a whole lot of exciting things going on. Our main focus with him right now is organization and mastering his routine. He is an extremely smart kid, just lacks what he needs to help him along!




Emma is...well what can I say....Emma. She is deep in the throes of being 2 for sure! The things that come of that girls mouth sometimes either causes our jaw to drop on the floor or we double over in laughter. Like, for instance, when she told Kayla and I that boogers don't taste good, food tastes good! Very wise little girl. :) She went through a short period of time while she was sick getting out of bed every night several times a night until she would finally crash out. Thankfully that was short lived! She is doing great potty training. We still put her in a diaper at night and sometimes at nap time too. She also has to be in a diaper if we are going to be in public doing anything that will distract her. She tends to forget to go potty and she has a fear of big toilets. So we are working on that part with her!






Hailey has come leaps and bounds over the last month. She can now roll over front to back and back to front. She had mastered back to front long before the other direction. Which is strange because going front to back is way easier! She can sit up on her own for quite some time before she topples over. She babbles a lot now too. Her first "word" already was dada. Of course! And I swear it has sounded like she said Elijah and Kayla at some point too! We recently started feeding her baby food again. Oh and she had her very first ear infection last month...not fun! Her weight is...drum roll please...22 lbs! My mom had her at the UPS store recently and the lady behind the counter didn't believe she really weighed that much. So she put her on the scale there and sure enough that was her weight!

Potty training take 2

For the last week we have been working on potty training Emma again. And it has worked much better this time around! She obviously just wasn't ready a few months ago when we tried. She has done awesome! She did have a rough day on Fri and Sat but came out of that beautifully Sun and today. We do still put her in a diaper if we are leaving the house and for bedtime at night. She won't let us put one on her for her nap time though. Which is fine. She is really embracing the potty training and I think she likes being a big girl now! Yay Emma!

Ready or Not?!

So as I said last night, I was going to work on potty training Emma this whole week. Well that plan came to a screeching halt today. She had a few accidents and either told me after the fact, or went to her potty after the fact. And she would get a bit stressed out every time I asked her if she needed to use the potty. So with those 2 things alone, I feel like she must not be as ready as I had hoped. So we will wait for a while longer before trying it again. In the meantime, it is still 2 sets of diapers for us! :)

Almost Forgot

I decided that I would take this whole next week to work on potty training Emma. We are going to stay home all day and let her run around without a diaper and see how it goes. Since I knew this was going to be happening, I have been pumping Emma up on being a big girl and using her big girl potty. So for the last several days, I have been finding a diaper on a floor and an Emma "missing". She will take it off and go sit on her potty. Friday she actually went potty in it! You can tell because it is a princess potty and it makes noises when it is wet. I am hoping this is a good sign of how it is going to go this week. So everyone, wish us luck! And I will keep you posted on how she is doing!
