Whatcha doing?

We really are some mean parents for taking this video... oh, yes, we are... but it's just one of those things parents do to capture those fabulous, cute childhood memories. She's really going to love us for this one when she's older. You may be thinking as you watch this "I SO would not want to change that diaper when she's done!"... we thought the same thing. Daddy got Harry's litter box and I got the diaper change. But, actually, nothing was there! Not a thing... she was just one, really gassy girl. Sashie... when you see this later, know that we love you SO much and Mama definitely was torn on whether or not to post this on the blog. But, how could I deny the world such cuteness with such potty humor included? Your Great Uncles would whoop me for it!

Face Front!

As if she wasn't growing up fast enough already, we hit another milestone this weekend... Daddy turned the car seats forward facing!

First forward ride

But, we did accomplish my goal (and then some) of making it 2 years of rear-facing for safety sake. Technically, we could have gone another 5 lbs with these car seats rear-facing but we just felt the girlie was ready to "face front." This pic was from her first ride yesterday to the store with me. She really did enjoy herself. Just chatting away about all she saw... from the cars and motorcycles, to even me yawning and asking if I was tired :) So, all and all, we think she enjoys this new view on life!

Loving me some shrimp!

Life here in the South is pretty good (barring the slight mini-flood we had in our master bath this weekend, but we're getting that taken care of). We are getting accustomed to living with a very opinionated toddler who is getting more and more potty-trained as the days go by. How grown up she is continues to amaze me! Just this past week she started talking to her Daddy about the clouds and how they were in the sky and yesterday she counted to 5 in Spanish. Either she's a freakin genius or we found an awesome school... or a little of both :) She's slowly wanting to choose what she eats and wears and what she plays with. This week she moved to Pull-Ups (big day!) during the day and will soon be in the night-time ones once that pack of diapers is done. She had her first all day, dry Pull-Up day this week at school (meaning she went in the potty all day). We frequently have "Mommy/Daddy I go potty" ringing through our house now so the praise can be showered down... which believe me, we are!

This weekend we headed to a favorite Japanese place where Sashie chowed on some shrimp, rice and veggies. While this pic isn't the greatest, it shows you her love for shrimp and the craziness that is the Sashie we love so much :)

Hope everyone is well! Many hugs!
