A Christmas Miracle!

I just want you all to know that we have had a potty training breakthrough...it is the best christmas present. I don't want to jinx it, because it has only been a few days now, but Sierra is totally staying dry.

Here's how it went down. I was talking to my sister Sara on the phone. And she mentioned that she had been putting Brook and Chris in regular panties and just going with it. Well, I figured that if Brook and Chris can do it, so can Sierra. So I put her in regular panties and it told her that if she didn't want to make a mess on the floor she was going to have to tell me when she had to go. I am not kidding, she has only had one accident!! She tells me all the time, and today, she even when poop on the potty for the very first time ever! She is even staying dry at nap time and during the night!!

I can not tell you how happy this makes me as a mother! Ha ha ha!! THANK YOU SANTA!

December Updates

Sorry Guys! I know I haven't updated in a while, but December gets so busy for me and I pretty much slack off on the usual stuff. I did want to update some things on my cute Lilly-girl! She is 6 months now and so cute! She started sitting up on her own at about 5 months and she is getting pretty good. She doesn't ever want you to lay her down, so I stack pillows behind her because she still tips over. She hasn't quite got it all figured out, but if I spread some toys around her she is quite content to play for about 30 minutes on her own. She is so cute and loves to talk and sing to all her toys. She is such a good sleeper and takes two long naps during the day and sleeps from about 7PM to 5 or 6AM. She is so smiley and happy. She has just been a joy to have in our family. Sierra is so cute with her and always tells me when she notices Lilly doing something new (i.e. "Mom! Lilly is tasting that food! She is just growing up!") Sierra is always giving Lilly kisses and petting her head and telling her what a good girl she is!

We have been to some fun family parties. We just spent the weekend in American Fork with the Miner Clan! They are such a fun family and it is so much fun when we can all get together.

I love you all out there and I hope you are all enjoying your holidays!
