March Pictures

Here are some more pictures that were taken this month. I love my children so much!

The sun was shining bright when these photos were taken. That is why Jonathan is not opening his eyes up really wide.






Grace loves playing outside!

The Refrigerator

Recently we have given Grace the permission to open the refrigerator and place her drink when she is done with it. With my permission she loves to get apples out of the refrigerator for a snack. Tonight I noticed that the house was too quiet and I asked Marc to go and check on Grace. He found her trying to open my hamburger container. She only opened part of the plastic and didn't end up trying to eat any of the raw meat thankfully. Her curiosity is getting to be bigger than she can handle right now. Boy would she have been surprised if she had tried to take a bite. Yuck!

Grace and The Potty Adventures

Grace has really become interested in using the potty recently. She has been playing with her Potty Elmo and other dolls acting out the acts of potty and changing. Yesterday served to be a big milestone for us. Grace used the potty twice while watching Elmo. She was so excited when we both clapped and sang a song with her to acknowledge her big accomplishment. I know that we still have much work ahead of us, but we are so pleased with the official beginning of potty training. Today she went to sit on her potty recognizing that she had to go. However, she left her pullups on. I quickly went to help her pull them down but it was too late. That's okay because she is recognizing that she needs to go and I am so proud. I told her that next time maybe she can go in time. She is such a big girl. I had even bought a seat that fits on the big potty several months ago. I figured that we would master potty training in the small potty first and then graduate her to the big potty, unless she shows that she would rather potty in the big potty before then. It is such a happy time to see her grow and change, but in a way it is also sad because I realize that she isn't really a baby anymore. But I guess no matter how much you grow and change Grace, "You'll Always Be My Baby."

Jonathan is 3 Months

Can't believe that our little baby boy is now 3 months old. He officially turned 3 months yesterday. He is really starting to vocalize more and more now, cooing and smiling in delight. He is such a good content baby. He sleeps very well. He loves to listen to his sister talk to him. Here recently Grace has been showing much more affection towards him. She has been surrendering many a kiss and hug to this little boy. We cannot say enough about how much joy our children have brought to our lives. Every day is a precious moment.
