A Rainy Saturday

In between the rain showers we found the rain coats and let the girls have a ride in the wagon.

Sadie was in a great mood as you can tell but Lily was a little grouchy.

Later in the afternoon, Lily decided to make a camel to ride on. I just love her imagination.

Potty

Sadie is obsessed with the potty. She loves to be in the bathroom when someone is going potty and when she hears it she tries to look under you to see what is happening. We have a little potty that can also be used as a stool in our bathroom by the sink for Lily to wash her hands and Sadie has learned how to lift the lid and she loves to sit on it. One night before her bath I let her sit on the potty naked and to my surprise and hers, she went potty. It was hilarious to see the look on her face...she was so confused. She looked down at herself and then stood up and looked in the potty. After Matt and I told her what a big girl she was she got pretty excited. She hasn't done it since but we did get a picture of the event.

Pigtails

Sadie's hair is just long enough to put in pigtails now and she looks so cute, I just had to share. Lily picks out her own clothes most of the time now and this was an outfit she came up with.

Using a Spoon

Sadie has recently started using her spoon to feed herself yogurt and cereal. She is doing very well and loves the independence. Just don't try to help her at all or she'll get very upset with you :) (And her hair looks crazy in this video because she wouldn't keep her clip in).

Bubbles

It amazes me how something so simple can bring so much joy and laughter. I think they could play with bubbles all day long.

My Helper

This video is just one example of how Lily helps me out these days. This pregnancy has been kicking my butt with morning sickness and terrible headaches. I had run out of the miracle pill that my Dr. prescribed for the morning sickness so earlier this week I was pretty much useless. I was feeding Sadie when I had to run to the bathroom and when I came back, Lily had taken over. At the end of the video my cell phone rings in the background and so Lily is asking me to get that for her. She brightened my day :)

While I'm talking about Lily, let me share her newest obsession, deoderant. Yep, that's right, I have to keep a close eye on her when she is in the bathroom because she will put on my deoderant. She knows where it goes too but one day she said her elbows hurt so she put deoderant on them. This morning she cried because she wasn't a grown up so she couldn't wear deoderant yet. I'm not sure why she thinks it is so cool but it has caused a lot of laughter at our house.

Building a Fort

We built this fort last week when Lily wanted a cool place to "hide" from Daddy. It is so cute to hear her giggle when Matt pretends he can't find her. Sadie loved playing peek-a-boo in the fort and just being able to do something with her big sister.

Baking with Grandma

Thank you Grandma for my own baking set. I loved baking with you!

Love, Lily
