Picture Perfect

Well, I decided to take the kids to get their picture taken at the mall..This is a big feat for me since it usually takes two people to accomplish this task anymore. Joshie is at the age where he doesn't want to sit still, and having Jenna makes it more difficult to chase after him. Thank God we get free coupons in the mail all the time for portrat packages!! I used to take monthly pictures here at home, but having a professional manage the job makes my job a lot easier of watching the kiddos.

Both kids did really well for being at the mall all day long. No problems! It shows in their pictures too...

Jenna Elizabeth - 3 1/2 Months

Joshua Eric - 18 Months

Potty's and Spoons

So I was going to start introducing Joshie to the concept of the "potty" this summer as he will be almost 2 then. I should have known that like everything else, he is early. He started walking at 7-8 months, and has hit every milestone way early. It was about a month ago that he started to tell us that he went "poo poo" or "pee pee" in his diaper. Well, that progressed quickly into telling us before we would go in the diaper. So - we bought him a potty chair so he could be a "big boy" now! The only problem - they don't make PullUps that small!! He's 21 pounds, so about the size of a one year old!!! LOL....Fun times ahead. Here's a few pictures of him helping daddy with his new seat:

Another thing that our "little guy" is working on is eating with a spoon. Pretty funny to watch sometimes - but he is learning! I find that oatmeal is the best food as far as getting most of it in his mouth. Plus he really likes oatmeal. ;)
