Secrets

Look how cute

Look how cute. This is after three parties and no naps. She's still smiling! Burke smile is out of fear. What is Adalyn going to do him.

My sweet man

I swear he is not always in his swing. He usually doesn't even like it but for some reason this is the only place I take pics of him.

Using the Potty

Ok one day she will kill me for posting this pic. The other day this is how Jeff and I found her using the potty. This girl will throw a party anywhere.

Burke

Look how cute my man is getting!

Burke and Daddy

Burke is growing and I promise to put more pics of him up. He is laughing and cooing all the time. Well as long as we are around. He does not like to be by himself. I don't know if we'll ever get him into his room. Jeff assured me we will with no problems. Yesterday he had a blast helping Daddy put the lawn furniture together. He was a great supervisor while Adalyn directed and took over when Daddy wasn't doing it right. We both say she is smarter than the both of us but we'll never let her know it!

I need that right now!!

Yesterday when we were working in the yard, a gay couple drove by in their bright red Mercedes convertible. Well Adalyn immediately stopped what she was doing and said "Daddy I need that right now!" I chimed in how cute we would look. She continued to beg her Daddy to no avail. He wasn't buying it. Nice try Adalyn. I still think we would be rather cute sporting around town. Maybe Mrs. Neely will take us for a spin!

Purple hair

Well yesterday Adalyn and I were in Sam's picking up a few groceries and two very interesting people walked up. One had bright blue hair and the other had bright purple. And when I say bright I mean bright. Well they were standing next to us and Adalyn had taken great interest in them. I continued with my shopping hoping she wouldn't say anything to mortify me. Well all of a sudden I hear. "Oh my Gosh Mommy. Those people have purple and blue hair. I've never seen purple and blue hair before. Oh My Gosh." A million responses went through my mind while they continued to stare at me as my face got crimson. My response. "Yes, isn't purple your favorite color?" Good save. They seemed satisfied with the attention they sought with their hair color and Adalyn and I went on to discuss our favorite colors. So if you run into these people there's a good save for you!

Sleep

Burke is sleeping through the night, well close anyways. Life could not get much better. I almost hate to post it in fear of jinxing this wonderful thing. The last three nights he has sleep till at least five. Yesterday he slept till six. That's going from ten at night. 7 whole hours without having a kid on me!!! I almost feel human. There is a special secret that makes this work. Jeff has to give him a bottle. Hey whatever works. I'll pump the next year at ten if he'll sleep. And one other minor thing. He is sleeping in his carseat. I know, I would have never allowed Adalyn to do this but desperate parents do desperate things. His reflux is so bad that he sleeps better sitting up. The ped said it was ok, so until it gets better he can stay there.

Potty Trained

I think it safe to say Adalyn is finally potty trained! Hurray! When she was sick she had a few accidents but the last two nights she started pooping in the potty again. When she makes her mind up to do something, consider it done.
