Maybe...


So with my last few kids being closer in age than the rest, I've had to deal with more than 1 kid in diapers at a time. For those of you who have had to deal with this, you know it is NOT a fun thing. Multiple changes, and lots of money. Spence took his own sweet time to potty train, so I had Emmy and Spence in diapers at the same time for a year before Spencer finally got it. Knowing the Emmy and Owen are only 18 months apart, I've been gearing myself up for at least another year of two kids in diapers. But the last few weeks, Emmy has been fascinated with the potty and tells Cameron and I that she needs to go to the potty. She doesn't USUALLY go, though we stick her on the toilet, but today, she went to the potty, sat on it, and went #2!!! Wahoo! MAYBE... she'll decide that she wants to make life easier for her parents and potty train in the next few months. Cross your fingers...
My cute Emmy girl. She is at a bit of an awkward stage with her hair. I have been able to manage a couple cute pigtails, unfortunately they don't stay in for too long, and the back of her head looks like a rat's nest.


In other news, my little Owen is still just that, LITTLE. He went to his 2 week appointment today, and weighs less than his birth weight after 2 weeks. All my other kids had gained around 2 lbs. by this point, so I'm a little nervous. He still isn't the greatest eater because is so sleepy. We need to keep watching him, and I have to MAKE him wake up to eat, so we can chunk him up a little more. Too bad I can't just turn over some of my extra pounds to help him AND me out.

His 2 week stats:
6 lbs. 8 oz. - 5 percentile
20 inches - 25 percentile
head - 35 percentile



And a little late, but over Christmas break the Richards cousins went skiing with the girls, and they had a great time. Katelyn is learning quick!
