St. Pattys Day

Well, my St. Patrick's day wasn't all green beer and lucky gold, I got two sick kids instead, and a St. Patrick's day party with my mommies group. Colin had to stay behind with his grandpa but Lucas and I got to "party."

Cute little leprechaun, isn't he?

The Good, The Icky and the Green

So we had a great day yesterday!

The Good: COLIN WENT PEE PEE IN THE POTTY FOR THE FIRST TIME! YAY! We've been talking to him about it for quite some time, read books about it, we watch an Elmo DVD about it, etc.

We ask him every night before bath time (when he's already naked) if he wants to go pee pee in the potty. He always says no and we're fine with that. But last night, he was IN the tub and told us he wanted to go pee pee in the potty. So we got him out, dried him off and stood him in front of the potty training urinal we bought him. He stood there, grabbed his pee pee like we've showed him and said "Wait." He didn't seem to know what to do, so I told him he had to push out the pee pee. So he said "Momma help." I laughed and told him I couldn't help, he had to do it on his own, so he turned to Dadda and said, "Dadda Help." And then...he peed! We all clapped and we made a VERY BIG DEAL out of it. He got to put a sticker on his chart. (Every time he goes pee pee in the potty he gets 1 sticker, poo poo gets 2, when he gets to 10 stickers he gets a new puzzle.)

Colin's sticker chart, and a proud boy!

The Icky: 2 minutes after going pee pee in the potty, he went poo poo on the floor. One battle at at time.

The Green: Lucas had his second day of peas and he seems to LOVE them, which makes me happy because I love all kinds of peas! So far the little monkey hasn't turned down anything we've offered, he has now had: rice cereal, avocado, and peas YUM!

Gramma's Boy

Believe it or not, this outfit was bought almost 3 years ago. Gramma bought it while I was pregnant with Colin, but Colin never had the opportunity to wear it, due to sizing and weather conditions not matching up. So, I pulled it out and put it on the newest Baker boy the other day, just in time for Gramma to see him in it. Handsome, isnt' he? And look how well that 5 month old is standing!

He's Up to Something

2 Month Check Up

It's official: Lucas is a big boy! We had his 2 month checkup Monday and he weighed in at 12 lbs 11 ounces, putting him in the 75th percentile. He was 24 inches long, which is the 80th percentile. The doctor was very happy with his physical strength too, especially his neck, back and legs. So happy for my little monkey!

A Month of Photos

Here is what our little monkey was up to in his first September.

Little Monkey

Brad and I have been shopping here and there to prepare for Lucas' arrival. The day we found out Lucas was a he, we picked out his nursery bedding. This is what we chose:



So every since then, I've been referring to Lucas as my Little Monkey, because we all know his big brother, Colin is my Little Man.
