Nathaniel peed!

Finally Nathaniel peed in his potty! He loves sitting on it and he loves running around naked and he's even peed on the carpet a few times....but a few days ago he finally went in his potty! He took his diaper off, sat on the potty, told me he pooped (he didn't) then he wanted his diaper back on. Then he pooped in his diaper, then took his diaper off. haha Then he peed on the carpet in front of the potty. Then he actually sat on the potty and peed. I'm so proud of him.:)

We went to another fair today. Nathaniel loved all the rides again and of course the pony rides. Sammy was grumpy. I think his teeth are bothering him. Tomorrow is another long day at work. fun!

Sammy has a tooth!

I should have known he was teething (drooling, chewing on his hands, runny nose) but I was in denial. My mom discovered yesterday that a tooth had popped through! Another one is close to coming through. And the worst part- they are his fangs!! He's going to be so goofy looking!:) If I didn't already want him to be mickey mouse for halloween, he would be a perfect vampire! haha

Nathaniel got a new Dora bowl plate and cup set yesterday that he picked out all by himself. He's obsessed with it! He keeps dumping the eggos back and forth between his bowl and plate.

Yesterday was my only day off this week. I forsee a very tired me by the end of the week.

Back at work

I decided to go back to work part time. I'm working about 25 hours a week. I love the new manager! She's awesome! It's a nice change. It's tiring but it's also a good break and gives Esteban bonding time with the boys. The first 3 days I worked, Sammy wouldn't take a bottle and screamed the whole time. Now he's eating like a champ and actually went through all the milk I had in the freezer yesterday during my 10 hour shift. I think we'll have to get some formula in case he runs out again.

On Saturday we went to the island to go to the fair. Esteban stayed home because he threw his back out (taking a shower. haha) Nathaniel had so much fun!! He got to pet some goats and cows, ride a pony, and he went on some rides. He kept saying "one more ride!" Rachael and Annie went on all the rides with him and he loved it! He was fast asleep as soon as we got home. I was excited because I got my dark and white chocolate dipped strawberry shishkabobs! I even brought one home for Esteban.:)

On Thursday we went to the Everett childrens museum and grandma bought us a membership! It was so fun! They have an awesome playground on the roof!

a week of parties!

We are getting our fill of cake this week! Friday was Paiges birthday party and we had so much fun! Nathaniel jumped in the pool fully clothed and even though there was only an inch of water, he managed to get completely drenched! Sara got him the cutest stick horse! It's like a sock monkey...but a sock horse. Very cute! Oh and a Portugal soccer ball which Esteban loved! He about threw a fit when it was time to go! Today was Gilliannes birthday party. They had a face painter and a balloon making clown. Nathaniel wasn't too interested in the balloons but he made some very cool ones! He was a bit shy at first with the face painter but after he got one arm done he wouldn't get up until both arms and both legs were painted. He had a train, a snake, a heart, and a horse. He also tried to jump into their blow up pool. Luckily we got his shirt off first! He was drenched and freezing by the end but I still had to bribe him with cake to get dressed!

Sammy sat up yesterday for a full minute! He getting good fast! I'm pretty sure his newborn phase is over.....although he never acted much like a newborn unfortunantly. He was holding his head up at a week, always wide awake and alert, sleeping through the night by just under 2 weeks and sitting at 2 months! I guess that extra week he was in there made him skip the newborn phase! haha

sammy sat up!

I decided to see if sammy would sit on his own today. I was doing it for fun not really expecting him to! Nathaniel sat at 5 months but Sammy seems to have a stronger neck so I thought I'd try....he sat for 4 seconds all by himself! I couldn't believe it!! I tried to get a picture but I didn't want to leave him so I just held the camera out without looking. I'll get a better one when Esteban gets home but here it is!
