i can happily say I have not changed a poopy diaper in 4 days!! Drake is loving going on his potty. He'll let you know if it's a 'big un' ( big one ) or a 'poo poo nugget'. He is making sentences now--I asked him to go tell daddy to get mommy some toilet paper and he went all the way across the house to our bedroom and said " Daddy, bring mommy toilet paper'. He's so much fun right now. If you get him on the phone, the very first thing he says no matter what is 'tractor, on, vroom vroom, beep beep'. Paige seems to be having happier days and evenings for the most part so that's making life a bit easier.

For our neighbor's birthday party, they had a snowcone man come---so much fun!

New pictures of 'the kids'

The black and white pictures are from my neighbor-he has his own studio set up in his basement and wanted some practice so I was happy to lend my kids for him to practice ;)

Pictures of Paige & big brother Drake

Well, here are finally some pictures of Paige. Now that Drake has to 'share' his blog with his sister, I'll just update his latest milestones-he can count to 10, knows his colors, loves reading aloud with his 'regular' books-especially shouting out the last word of every sentence, will repeat pretty much anything we say, and now he can do the chicken dance along with his little animal (I need to get that on video & post that one because it's hilarious)

As for Paige, she sleeps a lot, more than I remember Drake sleeping, and will go 3-4 hours at a time at night, so that's not too bad. She definitely enjoys being cuddled and always in a little ball with her arms in front of her face-no flat sleeping for this one!
