We're getting there

When are they officially potty trained?

Stowa has done an AMAZING job at this potty training business. She was ready for it, no doubt. She's made it easy on me. While I do remind her to use the potty, she pretty much just goes when she needs to. We've had very few accidents this week. Like I can count them on one hand.

She's even waking up dry. She has been wearing diapers at night but it's been dry the last few mornings. I think we're going to take the leap and skip it tonight.

It's only been a week. It seems too easy.

Boot camp

Potty training boot camp. Yeah that's right my 2.5 year old still isn't potty trained. She was doing really well about two months ago. Then we went on a trip and it all went to hell. She's been so darn cantankerous lately that I haven't even bothered to try.

On Sunday though, I asked her if she wanted to wear panties. She did. She picked out a pair. And there we go. We're getting potty trained. 

Reeces' Pieces are her bribe of choice.

Amazing customer service

Holy customer service batman. Amazon is awesome.
We ordered a crib tent in October 2009. It was recently recalled for safety issues.
Amazon sent me an email telling me about. They said I could send it back for a refund. I thought it was a mistake. It's been 2.5 years.
I just got a check in the mail for the full purchase price.
I freaking Love Amazon!

Sorry for the typos. Posting from my phone doesn't always work out so well.

Milestone machine

Little dude got another tooth on Friday.

He figured out how to crawl on Sunday afternoon. It's awkward and slow but he does it.

Sunday night he decided that pulling himself up would be fun so he did it. He looked so proud of himself standing there by the ottoman.

And we have a

TOOTH!

It's about time. Little Dude finally has a tooth. Barely visible, but definitely there.

He also has/had his first black eye and his first bloody lip. It's been a rough couple of days.

Yesterday morning he face planted into the hardwood floor. Thus the black eye. It's already faded a lot. Unless you KNEW it was there, you probably wouldn't notice. Happy 8 month birthday buddy!

Then today he face planted into the floor. See the theme here? Yeah, he dove into the floor and his pacifier cut his frenulum (the little thing that connects the gums to the top lip). It bled forever. He didn't appreciate me having to put pressure on it. Blood doesn't freak me out but when it just wouldn't stop bleeding I thought we might have to go get it checked out.

He thinks he can crawl. He gets on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth. Then he gets pissed that he's not getting anywhere. At that point he gets himself back to a seated position and then he cries. It's funny.

If you're happy and you know it

Clap your hands!

Little dude learned how to clap. It's adorable!

On the move

Well, he isn't crawling yet but he is on the move. Little Dude is scooting all over the living room. Usually to find whatever paper might be around. Or Big Sister's toys.

He still doesn't have any teeth and he has little to no interest in food.

He does have this completely adorable head tilt thing when he's smiling at people. He gets this big smile on his face and then tilts his head to the right. Kills me.

Not surprisingly, peek-a-boo is his favorite game. If Stowa can take a few minutes away from her work, he loves when she plays with him.

He's been waking up at night again. Boo. I think it's teething pain.
