To Norah

 Dear Norah,

You are 8 months old.  That is just plain crazy.  I really don't know where that time went.  Just yesterday morning you began actually crawling FORWARD.  I know we have not properly baby proofed our house and to be really honest, I don't think we will.  I know, I say that now.  We will see how it goes : )  Ava has far too many small things for me to contend with.

You can hold your own bottle now.  What a relief, my work here is done.

I'm kidding, it always bugs the crap out of me when I see someone awkwardly holding your bottle for you, I want them to pick you up and snuggle you.  The way you would be snuggled if you were still nursing.  (I'm almost done being mad at you for quitting that, almost)  But I'm not going to lie, it is super awesome to be able to hand you your bottle and accomplish something else at the same time, like changing your diaper.  : )

You have 8 teeth now!?!  Ava always says that soon you will be eating steak.

Your hair is really starting to fill in, although still isn't long enough to force into pigtails or a little poof on top of your head, watch out, when that happens your really harassment shall begin! : )

For the most part you actually let our household sleep.  I think your record is 13 hours in a row!  You still take 3 naps and happily let us put you down most of the time.  You usually wake up in the best mood too.  I love your morning toothy grin!!

Ava is still your favorite person.  : )

Norah you are by far the cutest, sweetest, most happy little girl (don't mention that to Ava ok??) we really couldn't love you more.




Happy 8 months baby girl!!

Adventures in Potty Training...

Image
I began potty training Ava right around the time she turned one. I broke out the potty and began encouraging away. She faked interest in the beginning but soon it became apparent that the child was a little hopeless, to say the least. Throughout the year that followed I realized that this strong willed child would need a little more time, as well as mom backing the heck off. Before she turned two I came across a blog a mom was writing who made a bold statement of parents simply being lazy if they aren't potty training their kids very quickly. I was so mad about when I read that but also felt like maybe she was right all at the same time. It motivated me to simply take away Ava's diapers and sort of force her into being ready. I spent the entire day encouraging her as she had accident after accident. She managed to pee in her potty about 4 times and everywhere else about 347 times. I was so stressed out, so was she. At one point she peed on the floor and looked up at me
