Tilly is Two!!

Saturday we headed to a local park to celebrate Tilly's second birthday. We can't believe she's already two! We had some friends stop by and all the kids enjoyed some cake and fun on the playground.

I showed Tilly pictures of different cakes and she picked the zoo animal one. It was a lot of work but looked great in the end!

Happy Birthday little girl!!

Potty Training Update

Quick potty training update on Tilly. Tilly's been in pullups for the last few weeks and has been doing great. So last weekend Papa TT and I decided to pull the plug and go with underwear. Saturday morning Tilly started wearing underwear. She did great - only had one accident. She would ask to go to the potty and she would!

Monday morning she continued in underwear at daycare. Monday wasn't great but the rest of the week she consistently used the potty. Only one accident on Tuesday and Wednesday and none today! I declare her officially potty trained! Just in time for her second birthday...

Week 34

All good (again) - 15.54...

Week 33: All Good

13.05! She cooks another week!

Going well

Had our 32 week checkup this morning and Trip is doing great. She passed the non-stress test and the fluid is 13.4 - we're happy with anything above 10 but get nervous in the 5-10 range.

Until next week...

Happy Easter!!

What a weekend! We had a busy and fun-filled Easter. We started with some park time on Saturday. We intended to go for the Easter egg hunt but didn't make it in time. So we just played at the park.





After nap time we told the kids the Easter Bunny (who'd been at the park) left Easter eggs in our backyard. Tigger would only come downstairs after we promised him the Easter Bunny was gone. They did great finding all the eggs!







The kids checked out their loot then helped us dye eggs. So colorful!

Tilly had to try one...


Sunday morning the kids woke up to another surprise visit from the Easter Bunny. This time he'd left them Easter baskets! They had to find them, then dug into their breakfast of candy.






Chocolate bunny!

Then it was time to head to church in our Easter outfits.....

...where there was another Easter egg hunt!




Tilly was pleased with her haul.



Happy Easter from all of us!

Potty training

Well, we've started down the potty training journey with Tilly. She's not even two yet (in just a few weeks!) but has recently been asking to go to the potty. And for a while she's been telling us when she poops in her diaper. So we declared her ready, bought pull-ups and underwear and started last weekend.

Day care and school were closed last Friday so Papa TT stayed home with the kids and started the process. We were out and about all weekend so couldn't let her run around the house naked like we did with Tigger. But she is definitely getting it. On Sunday she pooped in the potty - so exciting! She understood what she was doing - she'd tell us as she peed. We just need to work on her telling us before.

On Monday she was back at day care and they continued putting her in the potty. Each day she would do something in the potty. We also had some successes at home.

The following weekend, after a week of potty training, we headed to GMa and GPa T's. The change of scenery and commotion threw her off a little. She peed in the potty once but it was mostly her telling us while she was doing something in her pull-up.

We'll keep chugging along. She's definitely getting it - hopefully we'll be out of pull-ups soon!
