Potty Fun!

Lizzy went poopy on the potty! Not the greatest thing to talk about, but she finally did it! We've tried bribing her with everything, read books, watched dvd's, bought her panties that she picked out, charts, special stickers and even candy! That day I bribed her with ice cream and it worked!!!

She has always been scared of the "big potty" and wouldn't go on it until we got her a Dora the Explorer seat! She also did not like the little potty that Emma used. She is the most stubborn Livingston and we've tried a few times to potty train with no luck. Anna was so easy that we were hoping she would follow suit, looks like she'll follow Emma who was 3 before she was trained!!!
Don't get too excited, to date she's only went pee-pee once and pooped once on the potty...but it's a start!!!

Repeat?

Friday Lizzy and I spent the afternoon at her pediatrician and wake radiology...she had hurt her arm early that afternoon, Jody had a hold of her hand, she tried to pull away and ended up falling on the ground. She was very upset and wouldn't use her arm, so I called right away and got her in. Aunt Diana came and met me at the pediatrician's office to watch the other kiddos, little did I know she would end up in the car with 4 kids (3 of mine and my niece) for 2.5 hours!!! The pediatrician thought it might be a fractured wrist, so she sent us to wake radiology for x-rays. Lizzy was ok in the waiting room, she was really hurt, because all she wanted to do was sit on my lap and put her head down, her arm was limp and she was holding it with her other hand. It took 2 nurses and I to hold her arm still to take the x-rays, if you touched her arm she would say "no, don't touch, it hurts", and for the x-rays we had to rotate it...she was screaming, poor thing:-( But after the x-rays were taken her mood changed and she seemed fine about 10 minutes later! Jody and I think she actually had nursemaids elbow like Anna had....and when we had to rotate her arm for the x-ray, we popped it back in place, that's also why nothing came up in the x-ray.
I ask her every morning how her arm is and she says fine and shows me she can move it again...let's hope this isn't a repeat of Anna!!!

WOAH

We have been so busy lately...I didn't realize it had been since March 2nd since I had updated the blog!
So much has happened...I got twitter...we took an unexpected trip to Tennessee and ended up staying a week...I've been plugging away at Pampered Chef (2 parties now under my belt)...I decided to use cloth diapers...I caught Anna & Lizzy playing nicely together (I even got a picture!)...Lizzy pooped on the potty for the first time... she also had to have x-rays of her arm...we cleaned out our garage (a huge task)...oh, and did I mention we were moving too?

2 months already!!!

Our precious baby boy is 2 months today...I can't believe 2 months ago I was pregnant! I found some pictures on our computer while we were in Tennessee of my HUGE belly, hard to believe you can be that large! He has moved into size 1 diapers and has outgrown many of his newborn clothes, at least the ones that have feet!
He absolutely loves his swing and would probably stay in it almost all day if I put him there!

He has really started looking at his toys on his bouncy seat and swing too! He loves to snuggle
and has really started smiling a lot more and "talking".
His most favorite thing is bath time...almost always falls asleep after kicking around, smiling and talking!

His least favorite thing is a wet or dirty diaper! He is the worst, gets so upset even after a little bit of pee-pee and you immediately know when he dirties a diaper, sorry nursery workers!
The past few nights (3 to be exact) he's slept a lot better, 6 hours straight!!! It may be that we are home, we were gone 7 days in Tennessee, glad to be in his own bed I guess?!

We love this little guy and are so proud of our baby boy!!!

Tennessee Trip...

I've been a bit slack on the blog this past week because we made an unexpected trip back to Tennessee. I worked on some posts while were there but didn't get a chance to post them yet, hopefully I'll get some time tomorrow to finish them up and get them posted! Stay tuned!!!
