Big girl panties

Its official. Brie is potty trained. Now that is not to say we have not had a few accidents, but she consistently tells us when she has to go to the potty. A few times she has not given us much warning and has not made it to the potty, but she is doing excellent. The last 2 days she has even woken up dry from her naps and nighttime dry. It is very nice not to have to change two sets diapers, although going to the potty every 30 minutes or so is more time consuming.

Has it really been 6 months already!

Today is Sophie's half birthday. This past 6 months seemed to have flown by. She has changed so much and is such a good baby. She now rolls from her belly to her back, can roll the other direction, but hates her belly so does this infrequently. She is almost sitting independantly and babbles away. She has more then doubled her birth weight and is now 14 lbs 10.5 oz and 25 inches long. For the past few weeks she has had some stranger anxiety. Hopefully that will be short lived. Sophie, in contrast to Brie, is a good eater. She has had avocado, bananas and squash so far and has loved them all.

Happy Adjusted Birthday Brie!

Today, in addition to being mother's day, is Brie's adjusted birthday. She is now officially 2. We celebrated with an ice cream cake and a day in the park. Brie had a great time throwing rocks in the pond and chasing the ducks. She even enjoyed her ice cream cake tonight after eating a pretty good dinner. Marcus made steak and salmon on the grill for us tonight.

Hot sauce!

Brie has taking a liking to hot sauce lately. She loves to dip drumsticks in it. Here is a video of the dipping. It is franks red hot mixed with some butter. It still has quite a kick to it, but she seems to enjoy it.
