oh baby!

We have started to do some serious potty training, with moderate success. Yesterday, Baby successfully peed twice, but managed to pee more often in the training pants. This morning, she peed on the floor after spending thirty minutes on the toilet doing... nothing. She also gave us two enormous poops--they required a few minutes of washing in the tub--but no success on the potty today. With summer fast approaching--and the end of the school year too--I'll be able to put more time and effort into potty training, assuming we have not accomplished it by then. Sigh. I keep hoping we'll get it soon, so having to buy another box of diapers is depressing. That's one thing I definitely will not miss about Baby growing up.

Baby has been showing off her jumping skills on the couch and the bed.

She has also learned not to take responsibility for farts.

We're working on the potty training right now, although we've yet to experience success. This morning, Baby--or rather I--gave up after 30 minutes. I put Baby in a pair of underwear and pants. When I told her she had to tell me when she needed to pee, she started to cry, which made her pee. She cried even more when she thought she would get in trouble for wetting herself. :) I hoped she would figure this out quickly much like she does everything else, but no luck there.

Yesterday we spent some time outside and got a few good pictures:

Just posting some pictures to update since the birthday.

We went to a cousin's 1st birthday party. She is almost exactly one year younger than Baby. Baby looked very cute in her dress and shrug.

Baby and I were invited to be in the Heritage Show at school; we participated in the fashion show, and we were quite the stars! We got a loud ovation as we walked across the stage.
