Keziah is learning to sit up! I sat her on our bed after her bath and left to go find her jammies. When I got back, she was still sitting up! She can sit for a few minutes at a time, not just a few seconds....And she is pretty excited about this new view of the world. Leaning, Leaning.... And there she goes. I just had to include this one. Raquelle is a born leader, and Titus will do anything she tells him to...even be Cinderella. He was so excited that she was sharing her outfit! I decided to refrain from telling him that boys don't wear high heals and carry purses...but I do think we need some boy dress up stuff for him. Maybe he'll get some for his birthday. If anyone sees a good cow costume, let me know!

Keziah and Raquelle had their well child check ups yesterday. Here are their stats. Kezzy: Height - 25 1/3" - 72% Weight - 16 lbs 3.5 oz - 85% Raquelle: Height - 36" - 24% Weight - 29.5 lbs - 36% Keziah is almost exactly half way in between Raquelle's size and Titus's size at that age.

Thad informed me that my blog was lacking in recent posts. I guess he gets online every so often to read about what the kids have been up to. So I thought I should get around to posting something. Then I noticed I hadn't done pictures for a while...so this post is mostly for the sake of photo updates. Here is Keziah (right) playing with her buddy Charlotte (left), one of the little girls I babysit. It's kind of like having twins, only I only have to get up with one of them in the night, not both. Keziah and Charlotte holding hands. Kezzy is interested in the camera, Charlotte is interested in Raquelle off to the side, who is copying me trying to get the babies to smile. This is how Raquelle spent the Friday after a rough Thursday night. Keziah was awake until almost midnight. Titus woke up at midnight screaming and would not calm down. We finally got him calmed down and back in bed at 3 Am. Kezzy woke up hungry at 3:30 AM. Got her back to bed at 4 AM. My alarm went o...

Titus has been in underwear since Monday now with only one real accident! (That's 3 days). I think we have reached the point of no return now. I basically have a potty trained little boy! Yeah for only 1 in diapers now! Oh, and on that same note, we are now trying to start on nap time with Raquelle. She has started insisting that she wants to wear panties at nap, so I told her she can wear them if she gets up to pee on the toilet and not in her bed. Of course, we put a waterproof pad on her mattress. She woke up half way through nap today crying. I went in assuming she would be soaked. She was slightly damp and crying that she needs to go potty on the toilet. So I told her to go potty, changed her underwear and put her back in bed. She was pretty excited.

...where I was busy feeding the baby. Raquelle: "Ty, you need to go potty on the toilet" Titus: "Yah" Raquelle: "Mommy, you need to help Ty go potty!" Me: "I'm feeding the baby" Raquelle: "I do it" *pitter patter of little feet running toward the bathroom* *sound of stools being moved against the floor* Raquelle: "Take your pants off" Titus: "Help!" Raquelle: "Here, I do it" Titus: "Thank you" Raquelle: "Oh! You have a diaper on! You need to take it off!" Titus: "Ok" Raquelle: "Climb up there" *More shuffling sound* Raquelle: "Aim down" ... "Point it down Ty!" ...*pause* "AAAHHH! NO NO TY! NO PEE ON MY SHOE!" TItus: "Sorry " Raquelle comes running out to show me the damage to her shoe. Titus comes running out (naked), points to the cupboard and says "Candy!" Titus wore the same pair of underwear fr...
