My little Minnie!

I couldn't resist the opportunity to put up a few pictures of Joie in her cute little Halloween costume.  She has been asking to wear it for weeks so when I finally told her it was Halloween she screamed "MINNIE DRESS" and wanted to put it on immediately.  She loved Halloween and loved Trick or Treating.  It's crazy to think I will be taking two little girls out trick or treating next year!

Although you may not be able to tell, she was so excited to be in her Minnie dress that she wouldn't hold still or pose for me to take a cute picture!  She just wanted to stand in front of the mirror and twirl.

Potty time!

What have we been up to lately??

A whole lot of this

and NOT quite as many of these!

and LOTS of these...

and this!

That's right people!  The potty training has begun!  Joie has done so well!  We have had a few accidents but its only ever a trickle and than it scares her and she runs to the potty to finish her business!  Its been about 5 days since we have had an accident.  Joie just hangs out in big girl underwear around the house.  I'm not brave enough to take her out in public without a diaper yet.  She still sleeps with her diaper on too. I will update on progress made because I know this is just the very beginning of the potty training process.  Its so funny how excited you can get over someone going pee pee in the potty...there is just nothing like being a Mommy!

25 weeks

Many have asked for a pregnancy picture so here it is.  Just so you all know once I start getting really fat I will not continue to post pictures of myself.

This is me and baby at 25 weeks.  We had another ultrasound this week and she must be the shyest baby ever.  They were going to do a 3D ultrasound of her face but she has kept her face completely hidden behind her hands both times now so I guess we will just have to guess what she looks like until her arrival!

Our little helper!

The other day my mom was making dinner and I decided dinner needed garlic bread (which of course I was only interested in buying, not cooking).  So my mom said she would watch Joie while I ran to Smiths.  When I came back Joie was wearing an Apron and cleaning my moms sink...and she was LOVING it.  It was really darling!!

I love her big cheesy grin!  Doesn't she look like such a big girl?
