Our Fourth

Swedish relatives straight from the homeland came to experience an American parade!

Sophia's FAVORITE treat... ICE. She wouldn't get up for the candy, but when someone threw a snowball, she went running!

Sew Proud

My newest obsession... making purses. I have a dozen different patterns I want to try in a million different fabrics.

My first project was a "double duty" diaper bag/purse.

Completely reversible

Plenty of pockets for baby supplies AND mommy supplies, and a nice roomy middle pocket for diapers, treats, bibs, etc.

I love my new bag. I stayed up til 1:30am finishing it, and kinda wanted to take it to bed with me. I am kinda proud.

Paypies

WARNING: Graphic account of bodily functions.

Sophia is becoming increasinly interested in... bodily functions. Specifically, her own. So two days ago, I set her on the toilet. She was very intrigued and proud. And extremely cute :) She sat on the potty three times that day. Yesterday, Daddy noticed her starting to grunt and rushed her to the bathroom. She had her first poopy in the toilet!! Then a couple hours later, she ran up to me, grabbing her bottom repeating "Paypies! Paypies!" (Poopies) so we ran to the bathroom again, and she pooped like a champ!

The Flip 'N Flush toilet seat lid (in hot pink) is on its way. When it arrives, potty training begins.

*I resisted the temptation to post the photos of the mammoth poop she dropped and the look of pride on her face, and the one of her waving bye bye to her poopy. I think it's cute, but I don't want to see pictures of your kids poop either.

Buds

Jazlyn has been reaching milestones at a rapid pace these days. She finally cut her two bottom teeth last week, learned how to crawl, and how to pull herself up on things. It is very common now to find her standing up playing.

Sophia has really started to enjoy playing with Jazlyn now too. She loves to play peek-a-boo with her little sister, share any treats or juice with her, tackle her, and give her kisses. Jazlyn adores Sophia, and always giggles with delight when Sophia plays with her. It is so sweet to watch them together. It makes me so happy to see the love they already have for eachother, and the bond that is forming.

Push me Jazi!

Boo Jazi!
