Halfway there

Our "Silly-Lily-Buggy" is almost potty trained! She's waking up with a dry diaper and going pee-pee on the potty every morning, after naps, and just before bed. She's telling us when she has to go during the day (about 50% of the time). She's pooped on the potty a few times already, but also continues to go in her diaper. I'm waiting for a few successful dry days in a row, then it will be time to shop for Big Girl Panties! She is definately ready and excited about getting her "reward" (aka sticker) after each successful trip to the bathroom. Geez, I don't remember when going to the bathroom was so much fun! However, this revelation has just made me realize that soon it will be time to move her from a crib to a toddler bed, and I'm not looking forward to the late-nite "Lily-visits"...or my tears of realizing my little girl is growing up. Thank God I have Luke to remind me of the joys and struggles of the baby stage :) Speaking of Luke, he's 7 months old already and enjoying solid foods now. Not such a fan of the green veggies, but certainly likes his carrots and sweet potato, and of course, all the fruits. Getting his top two teeth now, so pretty soon his smile will look completely different! He's rolling over like a champ, getting ready to crawl any day now. I bet he'll be cruising by Christmas. So much for both kids to explore and discover. What an exciting time!
