Trenton news... he has a new found interest in the POTTY! He is now telling me when he needs to go and asking to take his diaper off.. all incredibly exciting advances for a mom, haha. Oh, how things have changed. I know, he is very young and not quite there yet, but as long as there is interest and another baby going to be in diapers within weeks, you can bet i'm going to introduce him to the idea. He has gone successfully a couple of times, and actually done better than expected. I wouldn't quite say we are 'potty training', in the locking ourseleves in for consecutive days and throwing out the diapers sense, but we are definately making progress which is great. The treats & pennies are his incentives to make it more fun. He LOVES putting money in his giraffe (piggy bank- THANKS KRISTIN S! He loves it, such a great gift) and he obviously will eat a lolly pop ('poca' as he calls it) every minute of the day if he could so that is very exciting to him. If we can get him out of diapers in the next 10 weeks, it would be quite exciting and helpful on our wallet. Wish us luck & send us potty prayers! :-)
He is becoming such a little person, we are just loving it. He is talking more and more each day, showing more interest in doing things independently and really starting to understand more about our world. Each little discovery through his eyes is so incredible to be apart of.
Baby/Pregnancy News... we are 30 weeks! whooohooo 10 +/- weeks to go. So exciting. Making a baby is hard work and we are SO ready for her! I am starting to wash the clothes we have thus far, the bassinet bedding, getting down the old bassinet, car seat and baby swing from the rafters (CRAZY). We sure didn't think those things would be coming back down so soon, I feel like we just stored them away. Everything is getting cleaned, organized and ready. I am nesting like crazy and probably doing a little too much than i should be physically but when i get an ich to get something done I can't wait. I have had to have shaun rub my hips with icy hott almost every evening just to be able to sleep and relieve some of the pain. He wishes i would just rest and sit during the day but he also knows im not capable of such a lifestyle :)
In other news... for those of you we dont get to see often, i think we have chosen her name! She will be named Tayt Elizabeth Engle. Elizabeth is after MY great grandma (more commonly known as Mom-mom) which is Trenton and Tayt's GREAT GREAT GRANDMA! Isn't that incredible! So special. Love you Mom-mom! Cant wait for you to meet your second great grand baby! Elizabeth is also my sister's middle name.. the best aunty a sister could ask for. She is so loving, patient and beautiful.. couldn't think of a more perfect, special person in our lives to share the name with our baby girl. It has been the name I have had in my head since before she was conceived, so when we found out we were having a girl... everything just felt right and confirmed. I knew it was Tayt inside me from the beginning and couldn't been more excited. It was so meant to be.
Hope you are having a great week!
Hugs, Momma T
