5!! 5 Months for Jolie!

5!!!! Months my sweet girl! How did this happen?! 

Okay so you didn't grow that much hair, but it's pretty stinking cute! 


You are the happiest baby ever. I mean I know I say that constantly but! For real! I can't get over you! Your smile, your chunky cheeks and thighs! 

This month you have perfected sitting. You could careless about being on your belly.. So I doubt crawling will come anytime soon. You live to sit and play with toys 
Luckily it keeps you pretty occupied! You liv playing with your big sisters and watching them. They get excited when you wake up, but forget about you throughout their day of playtime unless momma goes to feed you then they want in on the action! You LOVE to watch TV. Like, super love! It keeps you entertained to get the girls lunch ready or wash your bottles, etc. You are a drooling machine, your shirts are constantly wet. I guess I should start putting bibs on you all the time now, your bottom teeth are starting to make their way up, you can see its swollen but can't feel the edges of your teeth just yet. 

You were 25 inches long and 15.13 lbs! My chunky babe! You wear 6-9 month clothes and size 3 diapers.. Besides your random yeast infections you get behind your ears, butt and mouth- you are a picture of perfect health. You eat 6 ounces every 3 hours, you are a random napper but you sleep 11-13 hours a night so we can't complain. We get you to bed around 7-8 every night and the up 7-9 in the AM. It's been nice that daddy has been off work for summer to let you get that sleep.

You a re such a happy go lucky babe and we are lucky to have you! We love you to the moon and back babygirl!!

Potty Training 101.

Hahahah. 

So funny. I'm definitely no expert. My 2.5 years old still proudly wearing diapers, in cribs, and still sucking on a binky.. (At bedtime that is).. 

The girls are signed up for preschool, 3 days a week,3 hours a day, $300 a month. And it means they have to be potty trained. & the way it was looking is that we were going to have to rescind their application. It wasn't looking good. Andrews last day of school was Thursday.. So no breaks! Friday it was on! And I was scared. Andrew let me sleep in so he didn't bother making them pee in the potty right when they woke up so I woke up around 7. And it was on. We had about 10 or so pairs of underwear not including our training underwear and we quickly realized that wasn't enough. Right off, Ella and Bria had accidents. I knew then it was going to be a long day.. 


Pair of underwear #4.. Lol 

Bria is like her poor mother..pees a TON! 

Throughout the day, she had 5 accidents but used the bathroom abut 10 times successfully. That's a lot of pee. Andrew bravely took them in panties to the bank.no accidents. Ella only had one accident allllll day! And peed in the potty about 5 times. We went to the store
For more panties.. Ella picked out marvel.. Which she's never watched. Apparently she has a thing for Spider-Man. I know she's watched spider baby videos on YouTube so. Maybe that's it.

Bria picked out Disney princesses. Shocker.

Bedtime and nap time we we used pull-ups and training pants on top. 

I was overall impressed and exhausted after Day 1. I was extremely nervous for Day Two. I had a baby shower to go too.. 

The girls got up, peed, and put on panties. The next time they had to pee, the both wet their panties but were able stop themselves and finishing the potty. After nap time, the girls peed in the potty and we headed to the shower. I asked them a million times if they needed to pee before hand and they said no. I took their travel potty which they were deathly afraid of, but took it just Incase. 

So it was slightly chaotic. I was mom of the year and grabbed a bottle from my moms bag that she had never used, school was out and I hadn't washed bottles. I get to the party and Feed her and she is choking and its dripping everywhere.. I couldn't figure out what's going on. I looked at the nipple and it was fast flow. Gah. I felt like a terrible mom. 

She eventually sucked it down little by little but it surely didn't satisfy her. So I had to change her clothes. Then Bria wanted to pee, she started out on her travel potty and said nope. So I took all 3 to the potty. Went well, both peed in the potty. 20 minutes later, she went again. And pooped! Ella tried but didn't go. They were fantastic! I was so proud! 


I seriously LOVE spending time with my best friend and her little girl. 

Both Ella and Jolie were infatuated!!!! 

Saturday evening Ella wanted to poop. She was trying and soiled a pair of underwear. She refused to poop In the potty.. She kept saying her belly hurt and she had to poop. Put a diaper on her and bam, she pooped. 
Bria basically likes to play with this thing. Ella was telling her no Bria! 


That's how I feel too Bri Bri! You too are rockstars!
