Hooray!!!!

Well, we started with the potty training on Sunday. When Nathan woke up in the morning, I took him straight out of his diaper and into "big boy pants". He thought it was super cool or in his words "weal cool", especially since they all had some sort of fun character like Mickey Mouse or Lightning McQueen on them. I had my jar of M&Ms ready and a huge stack of underwear for the accidents. Well, day 1 we went through about 7 pair of underwear and day 2 about 7 more. I went from so excited and confident that this was going to work to a little bummed. BUT, today, Nathan woke up and I put his Lightning McQueen underwear on him and Ryan took that same pair of Lightning McQueen underwear off of him for his bath. He made it a whole day!!! Granted I was taking him to the potty every 30 minutes or so but still, such an accomplishment. We are so proud of him and it is so cute to see him so proud of himself. Tomorrow will be our big test because he will go to gymnastics with no diaper. Don't worry, I will have an extra change of clothes just in case.

In all this excitement, I've forgotten my Aaron update. Sunday morning I left Ryan with the boys for a very short time while I went for a walk. In that short time, Aaron decided to go ahead and pull himself up. Ryan said he just looked up and Aaron was standing there. I can't believe I missed it. I guess it's only fair. I get to see everything happen first so I guess it's about time Ryan did. I feel like Aaron is getting big so fast and it's killing me. I'm pretty sure that I want him to stay a big chunky baby forever. But, since I don't have a choice in the matter, I'm soaking in all of the things that I LOVE about him getting big. This being my absolute favorite.

They are really starting to love each other and play together. It's so much fun to hear the two of them laughing from the other room.

And then just some pictures I've been taking the last couple of days. They looked great on my camera, but now all I have to say is BOOO for blurriness.
