She loves her stroller


We have been carrying Sarah in wraps since she was born. About two weeks ago she decided that she only wanted to be carried facing out. It's not the most comfortable position for the person carrying her. So we got the stroller out and she loves it. I was all worried she may want to always be able to see us. But she doesn't care. She wants to see the world! I actually didn't realize when I took the picture that she was sleeping. Too cute!

First hospital visit


Sarah had a follow-up ultrasound two weeks ago. At my 34 week ultrasound her kidneys were enlarged but normal. So after she was born she needed a follow-up ultrasound to make sure everything was o.k. All is well. It's kind of funny, it was her first hospital visit. We took this picture after the crying. She really didn't like the procedure.

Family weekend




My Dad and sister came for a visit a month ago. We went shopping as an outing one afternoon when it was raining. My Dad and sister held Sarah in her various wraps during the shopping trip. We had a great time!

Nos amis (in English our friends)




Sarah and I visited my old French class a few weeks ago. It was so nice to see everyone. Here are our friends.

Potty training


Some of you may know that Sarah lets us know every time she has to go to the bathroom. I had read a while ago about infant potty training. At the time I thought to myself who are the crazy people who do this....as it turns out I'm one of those crazy people.

I have been putting Sarah on the potty since she was 7 weeks old and she really enjoys it. Every morning we get up and use the potty. She laughs and smiles the whole time. Sometimes I put her on the potty and she doesn't need to go so she fusses and I take her off. The best is when I take her off before she's done. She sure let's me know to put her back on. It's super cute!

I know most people haven't heard of infant potty training but 50% of the worlds children are potty trained using this method. In fact my Mom's mother did it with her children. My mom was potty trained at 9 months. Most kids who start as infants are potty trained by the time they are 1 years old.

Daddy dressed me!


I was on the phone one night while Brad dressed Sarah. She has a lot of really cute outfits but I think the one Brad picked out is the best!

Mommy's little helper


Sarah and I do everything together including laundry. She likes to lay in the laundry basket while I fold clothes. One of these days she's going to fold clothes too! This is an important life skill to have.
