Potty training? No problem!

Well, apparently this time it was the parents of the house that needed training. I pulled out the potty chair yesterday, and decided to let Ivria run about naked for part of the day. She did a #1 for daddy last night while I was away. So today after she got up I took her pants off again and so far, (it's 1pm) she has gone like four times! Without me asking her to go! She just waltzes in, does her business, and then comes to tell me to look at the "poopoo" (everything is poopoo right now). So she already has everything figured out. we made our transition to Pull-ups last week, and I'll do the naked thing for a few more days. Ofcourse she wears pullups when she naps or sleeps or we go anywhere. So, I guess it just took mommy and daddy to catch on to the fact that Ivria is a big kid now.



Ivria pausing for a snack, the potty chair is convenient I suppose.


Happy baby Meirah


Last week we had a great trip to the zoo.

Ivria had a great time getting eaten by a shark,Feeding the "budgies",And posing with some Lemurs.
All of us had a great time. Meirah slept in the stroller for the most part. After feeding the goats, seeing the show, and checking out the ever popular "FISHIES!!!!", we all agreed that it was a successful family excursion.

Update

Things are really settling in around here! Meirah has become the sweetest baby you will ever meet. I swear all she does is smile all day. We have ventured out of the house on our own without Jim plenty of times now, and are feeling successful in general. We have an offer in on a house right now and are waiting to hear about that. And Ivria is learning how to ride a tricycle too! I'll get some pictures posted soon I promise.

A few smiling baby photos have shown up on my tatting blog if you cannot wait til I get some posted here.
