Catching up...

We have had a busy few weeks! There has been so much going on with both boys. We are so close to hitting a few major milestones...some that I've been looking forward to, yet it makes me sad to think we are already there. And the most exciting part of the last few weeks has been the END of winter! It's still cool out...50's &60's, but we have had quite a few days in the 70's and it has been so nice to get outside and play!

To start...Blake began potty training two weeks ago. I was really nervous because he has shown zero interest at home when we would ask him if he wanted to use the potty, etc. His teacher just told us to bring a ton of extra clothes, shoes and underwear and they would then have him wear underwear and try to get him to potty every few hours until he figured it out. The first couple of days he had a few accidents. The first few evenings after school we just left him in his diaper so we didn't really know how good he was doing. Friday when we picked him up he was wearing the same clothes but his teacher was gone so we couldn't ask her if it really went that well or if they didn't practice that day. Then Friday night he asked to go pee and sure enough he sat on the potty and did it. I cannot begin to explain how excited that little guy was. I think he saw how excited we were and how proud of him we were that his face just lit up. We did all sorts of high 5's and hugging! It just so happened to be Daddy's birthday so that was a very special gift. Maybe not the peeing in the potty part so much, but the prospect that we almost have one out of diapers was something that made Kurt very happy! I just can't believe how well he is doing. He went pee in the potty all weekend and has done great this week too. Here is a picture of him in his little undies...he also had Daddy's tennis gear with him saying "Bye Bye, I go play tennis."

Then there was Kurt's birthday...Happy Belated Birthday! We had oreo cookie cake from Cub...yum yum yum! Blake could not wait to have cake. The first thing he said when he walked in the house on Kurt's birthday was "get the cake out Mom!" There is a clip below of him singing Happy Birthday to his Daddy.

Then there's Luke...he has got more teeth on top now and his front teeth are really coming through. It looks so funny to see him with so many teeth. He's also so close to crawling. He actually does crawl, but backwards and he doesn't even know it. He wants to pull himself up too so we've been working on that. There's a clip below of him doing some of his moves. We had to lower his crib a few weeks ago which was a tough moment for Mommy. It just seems like he is growing too fast. He was having a crazy hair week for some reason so here are some photos of that too.

I think that catches us up!
