Exciting news!!!

We have some new, exciting news in our house! Nope, NOT pregnant! :)

First, McKay has joined the world of walkers! Around Thanksgiving he really had no interest...maybe a couple steps here and there, but no real interest. While Matt was in WA the next week McKay started walking more. And now he has become a real pro, choosing to walk rather than crawl now. He is even able to get up from a sitting position and begin walking rather than starting from the couch, etc. My baby is growing up. :( (Not sure why he was falling so much during the video.)


Second, this is a BIG one, Zander is potty trained!!! Yahoo! I know I posted earlier this year that we were working on it. However, that lasted less than a week and then with the remodel everything took a back seat. I had decided that I would try again after the first of the year. A few weeks ago while folding Layton's clothes, Zander grabbed some underwear and put them on. Then two weeks ago he got some of the training pants out of his drawer and put them on. So I decided that the next day we would try potty training. I had forgotten how exhausting it can be. It seems like that is ALL I do for that first week....in and out of the bathroom every 15 minutes or so. Needless to say, he has caught on and is doing so well. He still has occaisional accidents but it has only been 2 weeks. He is to the point where he goes into the bathroom on his own or tells me he has to go rather than me having to constantly ask him. He will even go on the big toilets here at home and in public! Oh and he is even waking up dry most days! I couldn't be happier with his progress.
