....and back to being interested

At about 19 months old, Miles showed an interest in the potty. Since then, any time we ask him if he wants to sit on the potty, we get a very firm "NO", so we just roll with it.

Last night when dinner was wrapping up, Tim had to go "rest". And when Miles asked where Daddy went, I told him the potty. Miles then announced that he had to go potty. So Tim got him out of the high chair, undressed him, and sat him on the potty with the newest Fisher Price catalog. Miles was perfectly content for a bit and Tim thought he was just "practicing" as he is known to do. But apparently not - Miles pooped!! He was really quite pleased with himself until he stood up and looked in the toilet, at which point he was startled. "Uh oh! UH OH!!!" Tim had to assure him that what he saw was to be expected and that he did a very good job. He then ran around the house wearing a shirt, socks, and a little red bottom telling me and Tim that he went poop.

Though we still aren't really training him yet, we do encourage his interest in it and are thrilled any time he uses the potty. Big Boy!!! (Only 2+ more years of diapers for the Reeths!!)

BIG Milestone!!!

Amelia figured out how to roll over last night!!! She has been rolling on to her side for the last couple of weeks, but I really thought we were still a couple more weeks away from her figuring it out. Miles first rolled over at 4 1/2 months and I am floored that our darling little one has figured it out at 3 1/2 months. Like any new skill that babies learn, she can't stop practicing and is now constantly rolling over. So proud of you miss Amelia!!!

Old McDonald

Miles has found his musical voice. We don't play a lot of toddler music for him, but we really should - he loves to sing and dance!

Razz to the hands

Amelia is hitting milestones out of the park these days. This was a cute video I got on Daddy's cell phone that shows both how enthralled she is with her hands, and how she is starting to razz and talk more and more. It amazes me how quickly she is growing up.

Grinning and Squeaking!

Our little girl is growing up so fast. She is now in the Bumbo and looking at the world in a whole new way. She loves being upright, and will stay so until she is just plain worn out. It's wonderful to hear her squeak and know how pleased she is with herself.

Nap in Mommy and Daddy's Bed

Miles came down with a cold and mild case of pink eye over the weekend. Needless to say, he wasn't feeling all that well. As a treat, we offered to let him nap with Daddy in our bed instead of alone in his "big boy bed". Miles was all over the invitation. Mom snuck in at some point and snapped a pic.

I woke up approx. 30mins before Miles and had thought how great of a photo it would have been had we captured it. Was happy to find out when I went downstairs that Lina had. :)

Butt F_ck

Ok - so this is no reflection of the type of language we use in front of Miles.

On our way to day care, Miles kept repeating "Dump Truck". I guess I had two options. 1.) rinse his mouth out with Palmolive or 2.) capture it on video. Well it really was a no brainer.
