Five months

Riley is five months old and she is getting cuter everyday! She is sitting up very well and rolling over both ways. Her bottom two teeth are in and she is eating all kinds of stuff (green beans, peas, sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, applesauce and bananas). She officially likes food more than her bottles. And she officially loves her brother more than anything in the world!!! Her face lights up with happiness whenever she sees him and he can make her laugh so hard!

smarshmallows and smores

We had a great Saturday last week. I love the days when you have absolutely nothing to do but hang out.

Ivey decided to dump out all his puzzles on the floor, so we made the best of it and had a puzzle party! This kid is really good at puzzles.




The boys decided to go to the park for a little while to avoid "cabin fever".





Daddy and Riley had a little snuggle time on the couch.


Then we made smores in the fireplace!





Ivey didn't want anything to do with the smores but he popped a smarshmallow (that's what he calls them) in his mouth and watched Daddy chow down.

Blessed. very very blessed.

Potty Training

Well, let's just say that potty training has been a challenge. Ivey is loving the Thomas, Spiderman and Transformers underwear but we just haven't quite figured it out yet. Last night he hid behind the door and got really quiet. I asked "Ivey, are you poopy?" Of course, he said no. Pops put it best: "We have a visual!!!!"
Needless to say, these undies went straight into the trash.
Can I just say that 3 year-old diapers are enough to gag even a mommy.
