Cora got her first tooth last Saturday, April 25th and her second one came through just yesterday - May 1st. Not sure if it was teething or what, but she had diarhhea for about 5 days, poor little thing. However she had just had her 6 month shots too, so it was probably a combination . Poor little thing. At least she is feeling better now, except for the teeth that is.
Blake is still a potty master! He even tried it standing up a few times today and liked it. Boy, does that make me nervous though..I'm gonna have pee everywhere in my bathroom!

Milestones - Sitting up & Potty training
So proud of the kids this week. Today was day 3 of NO accidents with the potty training. He even told us tonight that he had to go poop, and sat on the potty with no arguments!! He's doing SO good!!
Cora has been able to sit up for a little bit on her own, but tonight sat up for about 5 mintues on her own! So proud of her. Can't believe she is 6 months old already! She has been rolling both ways for over a month now. No teeth yet, but I'm sure thats right around the corner too.
T0night I asked Blake to put the ketchup and mustard on the table. He looks at me and says "of course!"
Yesterday, on the way home from work, Blake told me that "his knee cap tickle hurts." Which means his knee.....Daddy likes to give him "knee cap tickles." He also pointed out a "loader tractor without a loader." Too cute!
Another Blake quote...after I told him he couldn't have a drink of my pop because he hadn't been listening to me and was whining and crying when it was time to go home from Mary's..."mama...I wipe all the cry from my eyes...can I have a drink now?"
So proud of Blake and how he does so well using his manners. We have taught him that when he wants something, he needs to ask like this..."may I have a drink please?" So, when he wants us to do something for him....."mama, may you tie my shoe please?" or "mama, may you give me a drink of your pop please?" and if we say no, he responds with "mama - you need to share!" along with a finger point. :-)
Cora is the happiest baby ever...rarely cries...unless she is HUNGRY or tired. Definitely has her brother's appetite. She has her 6 month check up on Friday. She sure is growing!!

Potty Time
Well..Blake made it all day yesterday with no accidents...but he only went twice all day long.
Today, he even pooped on the potty at home!!! So proud of him!! Then..he peed his pants about 1/2 hour later. Oh well...we'll get there, eventually!

Pee Pee on the Potty!
We've been really trying to get Blake potty trained, but he has been very resistant and stubborn. Well, tonight he was in the bathtub and says, "Mama, I'm almost peeing!" So, I snatched him up and threw him on the potty and he started peeing after a little bit!!!! I was so excited!! So proud of him!!
A week or so ago, Blake had a not so good day at daycare. So, when we got home, I told Daddy to ask him what he did at daycare today...so he did...his response was, "It's a mystery!".

My BFF
Today, Blake was testing the limits all day long. As I was trying to keep my cool and not yell again...he says to me, "Mama, let's be Best Friends Forever...and ever!" My heart melted right then.
Easter Bunny is coming tonight...looking forward to tomorrow morning. We went to the Easter Candy Scramble at the school today, Blake loved it...he did pretty good gathering candy, I thought he would've been more timid, but not at all. :-)
Tom and I won our weight loss challenge against Jody and Brian. Tom lost 42 pounds and I lost about 21. Now...to keep going and lose 20 more.....

Fox, Medicine
So...we're sitting at the dinner table tonight chatting with Blake. He likes to assign animals to us...."Daddy...you're a cheetah!....I'm an elephant....Mama, you're a ....." "Fox?" I finish for him. He says, "No mama, you're a dog!" Nice.....
Blake had a bit of a cold over the weekend and rather enjoys taking his medicine. I gave him a spoonful of motrin, he barely has it swallowed and says, "Thanks mama, I feel better now."
