Pictures

Here are some updated pictures of the new baby.









For my info - at one day shy of 2 weeks, she weighed 7 15, which included 2 oz of food just before weighing.

Ada Jewel Baker has arrived!

Born on Wednesday October 6th at 12:33pm
Weighing in at 7 lbs 8 oz and 20.25 inches.
She's got a full head of black hair and she is gorgeous!

Conversations with a 2 year old

These get better everyday.

These both happened on the way to school aka daycare this morning.

Princess: Look mommy!

Mommy: What is it honey?

Princess: A booger!

Mommy: Wow, where did you get that from? Can you hand it to me please?

Princess: My nose mommy. Here!

At least she didn't eat it. She has been known to tell me about it, and then say "all gone!"


Right now we are potty training. Last night, she refused to poop in the potty. And did not want to poop in her panties, so she insisted on a diaper. Well, I don't want to push the issue, so after asking her a few times to just try pooping on the potty, we put a diaper on. 2 mins later, "ok, I need panties now". Hmmm. She is too smart sometimes.

So, anyways, there was a strange smell coming from the back seat.

Mommy: Princess, did you poop?

Princess: No, I just had gas.

Mommy: Oh ok.

Well, I am glad she admits to it. I would have thought it interesting if she were to have pooped in her much coveted panties she had on.

Eviction Notice has been served

I am now 37 weeks and more than ready to get this ball out of my stomach! Even my husband is complaining that he is not sleeping. His reason, because I move too much. I go back to the doctor on Tuesday. We may or may not do a growth scan to see how big she is. Our first was already 6lbs 7 oz at 5 weeks early, so I am concerned this one will be big too. We will see what happens. I am secretly (guess its not a secret anymore) hoping to not make it to that dr's appt.

Here are the pictures for 37 weeks.






Potty training is going. She only goes when she wants to or when she decides she wants a "prize" (better known as a gummy bear).

And because you haven't seen the first one in a while. Here she is after just waking up from a nap. She is eating a cookie.

Another comparison

I have to say, last time I did not look at the two pictures before I put them on here. I was so amazed at how closely they resemble each other, I wanted to do it again. Again, I have not looked at these two yet.

Oh yeah, but the way, the peeing in the potty did not last. Only two days. Oh well.

And on the 3rd day...

Ivy went to the potty!!!

Yesterday was her 3rd day in the 2 yr old room at "school". When I picked her up, she had a star on her paper that said she went to the potty. Well, she has been "going to the potty" for a several weeks now. She never does anything when we get there. But she yells that she has to go potty, and will go into the bathroom, pull her pants down, and take her diaper off. Nothing has ever been produced though.

So, to say I was skeptical about the fact that she had ACTUALLY done something was an understatement. I asked the teacher this morning if she had actually done anything, and she had. Ivy actually went pee in the potty!!! The teacher said the did the hand clap song and got gummy bears. Well, who wouldn't go to the potty for that.

So, the teacher said she was going to try some pull ups today with Ivy and see what happens. Oh my, I would be so excited to get her out of diapers before the new baby comes.

My sweet girl also will tell daddy and I "bless you" when we sneeze. No one else though. Its a work in progress.

Is this any better

My sister and my mom said they could not make a good comparison, so for them, we have done another one. Is this any better?
