Molly's First Curse Word...sort of

I take full responsibility for that. I've never said that to her before, but I know I say it around her all the time. You never know what they'll pick up on...

First triathlon...Yikes!

It's official! Chris, my dad and I have signed up for our first-ever triathlon on October 11th. We all have a lot of training to do but I'm really excited about it. It's an off-road triathlon, so it's a 750 meter swim, off-road running for 3.1 miles, and mountain biking for 10 miles. Here's the website in case anybody's interested: http://www.redrockco.com/pbr-road-triathlon . Wish us luck because we're definitely going to need it!

More Potty Training

We've reached almost the end of Week Two in potty training, and we've made some real progress. She very rarely has accidents (unfortunately one of the rare occurrences was when Molly was borrowing Max's Pack-N-Play for a nap) except for #2 which we still have almost-daily accidents with. She just branched out yesterday and used the potty at the fire station, which is a big step for us because she previously didn't like public potties at all. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks she have it all figured out and the nightmare that is potty training will be a thing of the past!


Molly has started to feel so confident in her potty skills that she's started to catch up on her reading material.

More Pictures

Molly got a play castle from my cousin Erin and she thought she could fit sitting on one of the play chairs. She was so proud of herself when she got it positioned correctly so she could sit on the seat and not get stabbed in the bum by one of the legs!


Chris and Claire having a very serious conversation.


Molly can't get within a foot of Claire without laying down next to her and saying "Take a picture!" We have about a million pictures like this because Molly loves it. I finally started telling Molly I didn't know where my camera was, but she called me out on it and said "Mommy, in the bag!" I didn't know she knew where I kept my camera. Oops.


I can't get enough of the towel pictures!

Everybody Loves the Bumbo

I got the Bumbo out this morning to see how Claire would do, and she loved it! It looks a little silly because the seat is so huge and she's so tiny, but she seemed to really be enjoying herself. Molly spent the entire time Claire was in the Bumbo saying "Woggy's turn, Woggy's turn." So finally after she tried to lift Claire out of the Bumbo by the neck I let her have a turn. I was surprised she could actually fit her legs through the openings still!


You'll have to excuse Molly's wild appearance, but I guess I'm happy she at least she has clothes on! She's been running around in panties the past two weeks because of the potty training, so this is a step up for us.

Two Months Old!

It's so hard to believe Claire has been in our family for two months! She's already starting to grow out of some of her clothes even though it seems like she's still a newborn!
