Jungle girl

Gracie loves spending some time in her little 'jungle'.

She enjoys the sights and sounds of the birds, butterflies and Mr. Monkey,

and the giant feet. Wait, what??

Big Brother is always close.

PT update

With all the practice, rewards and "try agains", potty training has been an adventure! This past week there has been A LOT of time at home,

(in underwear)

plenty of craziness,

and just a little impatience.

Owen is doing GREAT and we are so proud of him, but really, is it over yet??

Three mos.

At 3 months, Grace is enjoying viewing the world with her head up, grabbing and holding toys, and laughing at her parents, brother and the ceiling fan.

She is also very supportive of her big brother's potty training, keeping him entertained in between (the endless) potty attempts. What a sweet sister... these bumbo rides can be risky business.

It's that time...

Little "helper"

Owen has taken to his new role as big brother pretty well, and now he's trying his hand as "mommy's helper". Fortunately, he only practices on his baby sister doll... who we randomly find on the changing tables, in the pack and play, in the swing, in the bouncey seat, and "in time-out for hitting".

Here are some clips of our nurturing 2 year old.

Pool bound!
