Playing with Niece

I love having company. It has been a great week. I just had a shower and had to hold my niece.

Sunday Best!

We are ready for church wearing our Sunday best!

Asher's Favorite Book from High School

Asher loves this book: The Woodsman by Don Wright. It is signed by the author. He is reading the book again. I read the book when we were first married. I had nightmares about indian's attacking.

Shopping at the Outlet

We only found a few good deals while shopping at the outlets. Found these outfits at Carters. I think they will be great for Lil this fall. We had lunch and played on the cars. We had a great time shopping and visiting. Lil loves playing and following her cousin.

Look Who's Talking and Time Out

Lil says a few words. She is starting to copy others. Here are the words I understand.

Daddy: Da
Momma: Ma
Bye: Bye (does not say anymore but waves)
Car: Ca
Balloon: Baaahp
Whoa: Whooooa

She points to things and if you ask her she will shake her head no or try and do what you ask. She understands a lot.

We started Time Out and it is going okay. I am not the best. She knows where it is and will stay for her minute. This morning she kept leaving so I kept putting her back. She soon stayed for the one minute and we were good. She knows that she does not like time out.

Lilia and the Potty...The Beginning

My sister in law is potty training her son and Lilia has been involved by running to the bathroom to watch.  She is very observant. 
Here is what happened tonight: We were playing Don't Eat Pete (another story). Lilia started passing gas and we commented on this. She looked surprise as well at passing gas. Some one asked if she wanted to go potty. Well, she ran toward the bathroom. We took that as a yes. I got her on the potty and held on to her. I tried to show her how to hold on. She pooped soon after! She even turned to look in the toilet and was so excited to see it. We cheered and her cousin was there to encourage. The hard part was keeping her still to clean her up. She did not understand that she had to hold still after all the cheering and excitement. Too funny! We are crazy parents but she did the job and thought it was fun!  We even took a picture of her on the toilet.  Don't worry it is appropriate!  I am sure she is NOT potty trained and we will have a lot of adventures to come! Thanks to cousin "E" for his example!
P.S. I will not be posting the picture.

Visit to the Zoo

We went to the zoo today. Aunt Melinda and her two kids and Uncle Josh went with us. We saw the elephants, giraffes, monkeys, and lots more. What a great day!

Cousins and Family

The cousins had a great time playing. Grandpa and the grand kids waiting for dinner. Everyone enjoyed the popcorn!

Bath Time

Lilia loves her bath. She loves kicking her feet while on her tummy. Loves dumping water in and outside of the tub. She loves submerging her face. She was playing peek a boo with me when I took the picture.
