BIG GIRL PANTIES

As soon as I wrote the last post, Adeline started wearing big girl panties ONLY! She has been without diapers/pull-ups for a week now and continues to do fantastic! She doesn't even want to wear them at bedtime. It amazes me how long she can go in between potty visits (much longer than her mommy!). She is very proud of herself! Our only issue now is how in the world do we keep pants on a 23 pound almost 2 1/2 year old and where can I buy infant big girl panties : )...oh, and what do we do now with all our extra money we were spending on diapers!

We went to the circus last weekend. Adeline LOVED the elephants and zebras and Evie slept. We are off to Knoxville this weekend for Evie's baptism. It will be a special day for sure. We can't wait to hear one of Mike's original songs played during the service.

So many new things happening....

Once we got back home from the holidays and in our routine of work/school again this month, the fun continued...
Adeline finally decided she didn't want to wear her diapers. She has been in pull-ups for 2 weeks now and has done fantastic! The past few days now she has had her 'big girl panties' on with NO ACCIDENTS!! We are SO proud and she LOVES being "My a big girl!".

The very same day Adeline decided we were going to sit on the potty, Evie decided it was time to move...she is crawling everywhere now!! As of this week, she has one tooth coming in too! Our girls are growing up fast. Our sweet buggy and peanut bear are a joy each day!

Enjoy this video of Evie a day before she took off!!

Christmas fun!

As usual, our Christmas involved lots of traveling, family and fun! Our trip to Richmond was 'detoured' as the snow storm hit before we were able to arrive. We made it there eventually, but unfortunately had a short trip : ( We then traveled to Knoxville to have Christmas with the Thomas family and finally home to Nashville for our first Christmas in our new house!

Adeline enjoyed making cookies MANY times in December (which is probably why mommy gained 5 pounds!). Our friends Torrey and Dan came in to visit and to attend our Tacky Sweater party, Evie loved it all, and Adeline went to Knoxville for a 'big girl' trip to grammy's house. Meanwhile, mommy turned 32 and mommy and daddy enjoyed the new year partying with their neighbors.

The videos below are of Evie unwrapping her first present in Richmond (with help from big sis), Adeline dancing with Jenna at the annual bowl-off, Adeline making some of her famous Christmas cookies and Evie having fun with the tissue paper.

SO VERY HAPPY!

Here are two clips that pretty much sum up our little "Eves" as Adeline calls her. Lovin life~
