Growing and learning...

Last week we started hard core potty training Averi. I put her in big girl panties and sat her on the potty every 20-30 minutes, when she went she got a sticker or M and Ms. By day two she seemed to be getting the concept, when she would pee in her panties she would be very upset and tell me she was wet. By day three however we had a major set back, I would sit her on the potty and as soon as she realized she was going she would FREAK out she was literally terrified of pee coming out of her... poor girl! I tried sitting with her, encouraging her this was a good thing, we tried a potty seat on the big potty and her baby potty... she would go a little bit then scream and cry because she didnt want to go in the potty... so potty training is being put on hold for a while, we may pick it back up once we move.
She is however getting very smart! We do flash cards almost daily and she can recognize numbers one through five, and count one through five with little help, She is so close to singing her ABC's and begining to recognize her letters, she is starting to recognize colors although she tends to call most things either "green" or "purple"... she is forming sentances and chatting up a storm. Folks two is a FUN age!
This is Averi in her big girl pull up with her high heels...and studying her flash cards while sitting on the potty...






Sofie has been sitting up for a while now and can go from sitting up to her belly. If we sit her on all fours she will rock back and forth and lift her hand and move slightly forward,she just hasnt gottne how to move her feet forward too. I think she will crawl soon. She is loving formula and doing marvelously on it. She has been a much happier baby since we started it.
Both girls are getting to be so much fun! I just adore being their mommy!

Here is our Sof so close to crawling...
