Potty Princess

Friday, March 16th marked a very important day in Katie's development - she used the potty for the 1st time!

She hadn't had any interest in the potty since we purchased it a few months ago, but suddenly after returning from dinner she asked to use the potty. Sure enough, she did her business just like she said she needed to!

Katie spent the rest of the weekend asking to go potty - and more times than not, she was successful! Suddenly, we realized we had a Big Girl and we needed to move into full on "potty mode." Here she is discovering her pretty pink princess pull - ups for the first time. Very exciting!

Although she had fun trying them on, she does not have her nerve up to wear them regularly yet. She still wants her "di-dee". We'll get there though! Today at school she used the potty successfully as well. And she came right home and did the same. She is such a Big Girl!

Just Hanging Around

This time of the year, we are all waiting for winter to end and spring to arrive.  Although the weekends have been fairly nice, we did manage to make a snowman with some leftover snow a couple of weeks ago.

Katie and I have also been patiently letting Dad paint Robby's room on the weekend so we've been doing a lot of hanging around! 

 Robby's room is finally done. Here is Dad covering the last of the purple paint. Now it's on to the bathroom!

In between painting Dad likes to brush Katie's hair. Her hair has blossomed into an absolutely beautiful head of curls. Both Mom and Dad can't get over how gorgeous she is!

Since hair is such a focus right now, we had a little fun with a wig for an old costume. Eddie looked especially gorgeous himself!

 

We wanted to show one quick pic of Robby in Mom at 6 months. Friday was the 24 week mark!

 Here are some final shots of our little angel having fun building a lego tower.
