The Love Hate Relationship

What I love most about Ed:  He buys me treats.

Woo-Hoo!

Night one no pull-up, no mess...
Here's hoping for another good night!

That's It!

She sure is cute, however EXTREMELY lazy!

Cali has been potty trained during the day now since March.  However in the morning she uses her pull-ups for as long as she can.  This morning she used it to poop in while she was playing.  She is LAZY.

Effective immediately Cali will no longer be wearing pull-ups at all.

I will keep you posted on the progress.

Lexi is One!

Sunday was a big day at our house.  Our little Lexi turned one!  We celebrated the usual way with cake, presents and grandparents.  Lexi loved the cake I made.  I will have to post pictures later as Papa was the photographer that day.  

We had family pictures done on Thanksgiving and here are a few of little Lexi to share.  All photos were taken by Sarah.

Little Lexi in the Leaves.

Lexi is hard to keep up to these days!

I love her brown eyes!

"Lexington Atucky"

 I took Lexi shopping with me on Monday and the moment I put her down to look at something she was off like a shot giggling with her little hands by her ears.  What a little turkey!

She got the nick name "Atucky" from Cali.  Grammie first started to call her "Lexington Kentucky" for a joke then one day after Grammie had been here Cali was getting mad at Lexi for getting into her things and Cali yelled out "Lexington Atucky!!!!"; so it stuck.  Our little "Atucky" she will be.

Lexi is a very "resourceful" baby as Aunt Jean said.  She loves to get into things.  Once day I found her on a shelf in the pantry.  She had used the canisters of flour and sugar as steps and got into the snacks.  She is one smart little baby.

I can't believe the year went by so fast.  I love you Atucky!

What I Found Late One Night...

I know it's been forever.  We got the Mac updated so now I can use it!  So here I am posting again... hurray!   I just have a bunch to catch up on.  So I will do it one day at a time.  Let me begin with a post I wanted to do about a month ago.

So we started a new bedtime approach with Cali.  Fighting with her to go to bed was getting to be tiring and we weren't getting to bed until late.  So we have a rule now that Cali is to be in her room at 8pm for the night.  I don't care what she is doing as long as she is in her room.  It has been going well as a matter of fact but sometimes I am surprized by what I find has gone on in her room.  The other night I walked in and found blankets all over the floor then I realized what was going on.

Cali's purple puppy was nicely tucked in...

...as was her pink puppy...

... elephant...

... Grover...

... Cabbage patch kid...

... and last but not least herself.

   I love my Cali Belle.
