More photos!





Lots going on!

We've had so much going on, as you'll see from the photos! I am so happy that I got to attend my friend Maria's wedding, see Nolan Rand Stone be born and welcome Maya Isabelle all in one summer. We have also been spending lots of time potting training and going on some adventures. Sofia is on her third day of using the potty almost exclusively. The trick for her really seemed to be that we bought a cute little potty chair, bribed her with m&m's and sang and danced like fools when she used it. For the past few weeks, before the potty chair purchase, we were going through almost 15 diapers a day. Sofia was starting to learn that she didn't like being wet at all. So, even if she just peed a little, she wanted to be changed right away...then she would pee again five minutes later. This also contributed to about four or five dirty diapers that would wake her up at night and she would say...:"Mama...I pooped (which means pee, except when she really does poop). Mama change me". So we would have to change her before she would go back to sleep. Finally we caught on that we should try something new. So she has been pooping and peeing on the potty all day, and doesn't even get changed until morning now! I was so excited about her first poop on the potty that I thought about posting the picture...(yes I have a picture)...but I'm not going to. There has been enough poop in this blog! So enjoy the pics!
