Seeing Santa

We took the girls to Nana and Papas ward party to see Santa. We ate soup and danced, then saw Santa. Both girls weren't too happy as you will see in pictures.

Braelyn 6 mos

Braelyn had to do six month vaccines and weighs 13.3 lbs. She has been sittin up by herself for a few weeks, and really starting to jibber and laugh. Every time I say mama she says dada lol. Still doesn't like to be on her belly, and must be teething she wants to wake up in the night every two hrs. When I asked the doctor he said time for tough love, we laughed but have been trying. I give her the binky every other time she wakes up and seems to be working hopefully she will start to sleep through the night. We have tried rice cereal and she didn't like it at all, she has loved carrots and applesauce. She wasn't a fan of peas, peaches or banana. She is in 6 mos pjs and clothes, 3 mo onsies.she loves the walker and swing.

Potty training complete

Brie has been good and for the last 5 weeks has been strictly in panties except at night. It definitely was an adventure. We started by no diapers and went to pull ups and for a few weeks that worked, but then Brie thought of them like diapers. Around Halloween we tried panties and rewards of candy, that worked for a few days but Brie wanted to go number two in them. We got frustrated and said back to diapers because Brie thought she was loosing attention to baby sis and her being changed. That lasted about four days before brie wanted to try panties again. We bought princess panties and tried again saying that she had to keep them happy and go into the potty. Then we also tried stickers each time she went. That was it she has been wonderful ever since. She even now wants to go by herself. She is a big girl. She has also cracked us up she has started saying sentences, counts 1 to 10 and is learning colors. She loves Popsicles( sicles to her), baked potatoes, cheese, edamames ( mames), cereal and breakfast sandwiches. I love her "where are u" "daddy no go work"" I no like it" " I eat it all gone" "I did it" "I have to go potty", when baby sis cries she says baby sis is saying" I want mommy" she cracks us up. She loves to dance and play. She recently has stayed with Auntie and Uncle Shane and gives us a play by play on everything that happened. She tells us daily she is going to stay with them and when daddy asks what they give her to love them so much? Her answer is always money lol. I love that she talks in third person.
