Week of milestones



Well friends, this has truly been a week of milestones. First milestone is, today is Bekah's 1st birthday! That's the good news. The sad news is that Bekah has bronchitis for her birthday. :-( Bummer for all of us. (Sick babies are the worst!) Second milestone is that last week Bekah learned how to stand up. She's just starting that whole "cruising" thing they do. So, that's fun...and dangerous as we have hardwoods throughout the apartment. Third and final milestone is that Lizzie went pee-pee on the potty for the first time today. She's been telling us she wants to go to the potty all week, but she was bluffing. We kept at it though wanting to encourage her, and finally today I heard those beautiful little drops falling in the toilet. :-) Laura and I yelled with joy and then we rewarded her with gummy bears. (It's amazing what a kid will do for a gummy bear.) Next stop: poo-poo.

Just wanted to update you all. Have a good week!

Wow, James, your girls are absolutely gorgeous! How old is Lizzie? She has such pretty features. It's nice that y'all have snow there. You know how it is in Texas...80 degrees one day, freezing rain the next...hardly ever any fun snow to add some excitement.
