She's almost there.....

If I had to guess, I would bet we are within two weeks of little Miss crawling. She is pretty darn close!! We set her on her bottom and as soon as she gets bored playing, she is on her stomach or rocking back and forth. We look down and she looks like this...



She has also taken more of an interest in the dogs lately. She likes to try and grab their feet, or their face. Their tail is the most fun. Bella's tail was on the ground and the end was wagging back and forth and Avery tries to grab it. In the picture below, it looks like she crawled over to Bella, but I think she scooted backwards and ended up there. Bella just lays there and lets her do what she will do.

She is experimenting with different ways of moving around, like putting her leg straight beside her...

This was pretty amusing. My mom got her a Tickle Me Elmo for Christmas, which she has really not had an interest in, until now. This model is so cute - Elmo laughs and laughs, while moving from one position in the other. In the picture below, he is on his back, kicking his feet back and forth, laughing hysterically. She stared at that thing forever and would then laugh!! I love how she is starting to see how things work and is getting interested in stuff like this!!


Jason's parents came in Saturday night to take Sophia and Jordan on a trip to the lake to meet up with Uncle Scotty, Aunt Faith, Robert, Isom, Kadin, and Jax. They get to spend the whole week at Lake Corpus Christi with their cousins and they are SO EXCITED THEY CANNOT STAND IT. On Sunday night, Jordan said he might not be able to even go to sleep!!

Isom and Jordan are about the same age and are totally in to the same things. Spy stuff, ninja, swords, Indiana Jones. And Poppy just loves it too. So Jordan informed us that the three of them would be having secret spy meetings on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Ok, we said. Sounds good.

Sophia and Robert are also the same age. Kadin is 4 now and Jax is 2. The kids do not get a chance to see each other very often, just because they live south of San Antonio. Part time visitation is hard when your family lives out of town! So in July, when we get the kids for the whole month, they try to plan a time for everyone to see each other. Robert and Shari come down from Seattle, and they at least spend some time with everyone. We couldn't take this whole week off but we will be going down with Avery on Friday.

When they walked through the door, Jordan and Soph immediately had game-playing plans...
 
And here is another kiddo Nawnie was happy to see...
 
 
Can't wait till Friday!!!

Guess Who Has A New Potty???

This girl!! Jason and I took Avery to Target tonight to find a potty chair. We didn't know what kind to get. When we got there, she loved the Sesame Street one. It's the kind that sits on the toilet, not an actual chair. I've heard both reasonings on a chair and a pad for the real toilet. On one hand, the chairs are little and easier for them to sit on and they aren't scary to flush. On the other, the pad doesn't require you to have to clean out a chair and they teach kids to sit on the big potty from the get go. What it really came down to was that we just don't have a big bathroom at all, so keeping an actual chair in the bathroom would have been hard. So we got the pad. It has a little hook that you attach to the tank, so you can hang the pad on it. I love this!  I have no intention of actually potty training Avery full out, just yet. I don't think she is ready. But I have heard it's good to have one that they can practice sitting on and get u...

Some Changes...

We've been going through a bit of a transition at the Whitehead household the last month or so. I haven't really talked too much about it because I wasn't ready, to be honest. It's just a lot of change and I've been trying to figure it out in my head.   As of three weeks ago last Friday, I am no longer a full time work out of home employee.   I can't believe I just said that.   It's been the plan for several months now for me to go into real estate and it was always assumed I'd be doing that part time, while keeping my full time job. Plans kind of changed when Jason got his promotion. He'd always has a job that allowed him a lot of flexibility. In sales, especially after you've been in a position for a while, it just sort of happens that way. He could take Avery to daycare and pick her up, he could take her to doctor's appointments, he could even do chores around the house in the afternoon, while I was at work. I had some flexibi...

Just a little bathroom project....

Raise your hand if this is what your bathroom looks like after every round of baths at your house????
