Pee Pee in the Potty! YAY!

That's right, Dylan went pee pee in the potty for the first time yesterday. He mostly uses his potty as a stool to reach items in cupboards or drawers he's not suppose have or, can be seen on a regular basis wearing the inside cushion ring as a "hat." Not yesterday, we made some serious potty training progress. After some "encouraging" with candy and the park, Dylan sat on his potty and pushed out a little bit of pee. I don't think he really needed to go but he wasn't about to pass up the chance for some chocolate. We aren't actually "potty training" at this point but at least he knows how to use the potty when he decides he wants to. We actually took a picture of him in action, I know its sideways, blogger loaded it that way.

Deleted My Widgets

I deleted my widgets again. I can't figure those crazy things out. I think I have almost everyone that has commented recently, all five of you blog readers, added to the blog list but if you don't see yours send me a comment and I'll add you.

Yep, I'm Prego!

I am so glad I can finally say yes when asked if I'm prego now. I look 2-3 months pregnant at all times thanks to my post pregnant stomach muscles that will never find their way back together again. I've gotten asked (w/ a finger pointed at my stomach) when I'm due on too many nonpregnant occasions. Embarrassing I know, I don't even know why I'm blogging about it. Anyway, I'm sure all of you know by now that I am expecting number two, crazy right?! I feel too young to be married and have two kids, I'm sure this only happens if your LDS. Baby's due date is Dec. 31, but you can count back at least 10 to 7 days from then b/c of the whole c-section thing. Yep, that puts the poor baby's b-day around Christmas eve. I guess we didn't really plan that as well as we should have. Too late now :)! This pregnancy hasn't been as easy as Dylan's which was sooo easy/fun besides the stretch marks and post saggy everything. I can't complain too much though, there are many people that struggle to conceive and some that will never be able too, plus being able to basically grow a human being from two half cells is amazing! After every chemistry course I took in college I became more and more amazed of the system. I still can't believe it all works most of the time, it seem all most impossible that it would on paper. Am I being too cheesy? Anyway, I'll save all my complaining for my husband, and maybe my mom, since she's much better at relating and showing concern :).


I was going to start this post with a really cute picture of Dylan in a onsie sent from aunt Candace that says "I'm going to be a big brother" but, Jeff has broken our camera. Don't expect any new pictures for a while, it's going to take some time to break down my tight wad husband (who I love) into buying a new one. I only have a few pics taken by my friend Joanie (Landon's mom). His hair looks a little crazy I know, bed hair.

I think he was singing itsy bitsy spider in this one (doesn't he look like he-s about to do something bad?).

So sweet!

This one is self explanatory. He likes doing this and I'm pretty sure he learned it from his dad.

Dylan's Favorite Things

I know it's been a while so here you go, lots of pictures of my little boy. Since it's mostly my family that looks at my blog, that's why I have one, I don't feel as weird posting all these pictures of Dylan. I thought I would do a little update on my almost two year old and his new favorite things (minus Dora - we're trying to ease her out of lives -I can't handle her, the map, or backpack anymore).

This 1st pic is of Dylan on the way to the zoo, you can see how excited he was! The Boise zoo has maybe 6 species total, half of which are never to be seen in their cages, but Dylan loves it anyway.

This might be the best part of the zoo for him - the giraffe slide. We probably spend more time here than looking at the animals.

Here is Dylan in the middle of one of his increasingly popular tantrums, he was so mad, kind of funny.
Dylans new favorite activity - "driving." He would spend hours in the front seat of the car if I let him. He pushes all the buttons including the horn -with his tummy - that's what he is doing here. Dylan and BFF Landon having a snack - they are so funny together.

Here is Dylan helping himself to a snack. He found a box of cereal in the pantry and poured the whole thing out. You can tell by the look on his face he knows he is not suppose to be doing this - he's been in time out for it before.


So Dylan loves to sit on the bathroom counter while I do my hair and makeup. He says "pretty pretty" and pretends to put makeup on with me. In the time it took me to brush my teeth he had opened my mascare and applied it to one eye. Scary I know, but still kind of funny. The 2nd pic is my favorite, he really does think he looks pretty!

More Flower Pictures

OK, everyone is probably tired of seeing flower pictures but, my tulips just finished blooming and I needed to post these for my mom to see her how her hard work paid off. She also purchased the rocker in the picture so I thought this particular picture would be appropriate. Dylan mostly just likes to pick the flowers then tear them to pieces, when I'm not looking of course.


I've been bathing Dylan in the sink for the past week and he loves it! I don't really know why, all his toys are in his bath and there really isn't much room to move around but he asks for it every night now. I think he is probably too old/big for sink baths but Jeff appreciates Dylan's effort to conserve water (which really means saving us a few bucks on utilities). Every dollar counts according to Jeff! So this was a lost dog that Dylan found on one of our walks. It ended up belonging to a neighbor but Dylan loved every second of the few hours we actually had the dog. For those who don't know, Dylan is obsessed with dogs. He squeals with joy anytime we see one (even on TV) and cries for hours after we force him to leave it's company (or the dog food commercial ends and I stop rewinding the DVR to watch it). That being said, this was the best day of his little baby life! You can see the sheer joy in his face (this picture was at least an hour into following it around). Dylan never let the dog get more than a few feet away and just kept saying "doggie!"
