First Dr. Appt!

Well Scott had his first doctor's appointment today and it went great! I knew the little guy was growing but not this much. He weighs in at 11lbs 4 oz and is 21 and 3/4 inches long. He has 5 lbs and grown 3 and 3/4 inches since his birth 2 months ago! He is healthy and growing everyday. Now I don't brag about how smart my kids are but William is doing something that just amazes me.. I bought him these puzzles for 3year olds and up and he puts the pieces where they are supposed to go. he'll look at the piece, look at the puzzle, and then at the piece again and puts it where it's supposed to go.. I'm so proud of him...But anyways! Everything is going good. The boys are good and growing fast!

Potty time!

So we purchased a potty chair for William about a month ago and have just been letting him get used to the idea. Lately he has been going and getting a diaper and bringing it out when he's just wet and we don't even say anything about changing him. He just is to the point where he doesn't want to be in even a wet diaper. On sunday he went into his room and got out like 10 of his little brother diapers before Scott understood what he wanted... his diaper drawere was empty so he kept bringing out his little brothers. So today I got him dressed and 5 minutes after I had finished he was taking them off. He took his shirt off and then came the pants and a few seconds later was the diaper... so i thought maybe it was a perfect opportunity to ask him if he had to go "Pee", he calls his potty chair a "pee" so he knew exactly what I was talking about. We went into the bathroom and he used his toilet for the first time.. I was very excited to see him do it.. he didn't sit down but stood over it and got his pee in the toilet. I was very excited.. he did it like a big boy and I think that is just the first step to no more diapers. I am really excited... i can't stop saying excited....i've tried very hard not to push potty training on him and i think it has paid off.. he made his first time a memorable one because he didn't even get too much pee on the floor... so yippy for the first time going in the "PEE"!!!!! I have to say he has pretty good aim for a little guy.. next time we'll be sure to get him to sit down.. and maybe not.. maybe he'll just be able to do it standing up!

What a weekend


Well this past weekend we went to Casper to hangout with our friends Lori and Colin and of course Jason. The boys got along for the most part and when they did they had a really good time. It was nice weekend to get out of Meeteetse because it was the crazy Labor Day celebration. We also got to see our friend Traux and it was nice to get away and spend time with good company. We got there on Friday and left on Sunday, I'm sure we over stayed our welcome but our friends would never say anything if we had. It was a good time. On Sunday on our way home we stopped at Tough Creek at Boyson Reservoir and did some tubing with my parent's and my brother and his family for the rest of the day. We did some swimming and Will loved being on the boat and getting in the nice warm water. He didn't even mind the life jacket! So when we finally did get home we were glad to get here. It was a great weekend and we all had a wonderful time.

This week has been pretty uneventful considering the weekend but a warning to those parents out there.. DON'T LET YOUR LITTLE ONE RUN AROUND THE HOUSE WITHOUT A DIAPER!!! So the other night William was runnig rampid through the house without his diaper on because I was in the bathtub waiting for him to come and get it. Well, Scott finally had to get William into the tub. The bath went fine everything was great.. I got out and got dressed and then went in to retrieve William. As we entered his room we noticed a pile of poop on the floor.. now immediatly we blame our chihuahua but then we remembered that he had been outside all day so there was no way that it could have been him...so we figured out that William had pooped an entire pile on the floor. Now I'm no stranger to cleaning up stinking messes but I have never cleaned up baby poop from the floor! It was quite a new experience one in which I wish to never have to deal with again.. so KEEP the DIAPERS ON!!! Yuck.. It was funny, sure, but gross nonetheless.

As for last night in the house it was one of extreme excitement... The first game of the 2007 - 2008 NFL football season started last night. I am a huge Peyton Manning fan and the Colts kicked ass last night.. Scott and I watched all the pregame excitement and were seriously excited when the game started.. Goosebumps...seriously! Well The game was great and it was a great start to another season of KICK ASS NFL FOOTBALL...We're huge fans so when the season starts we're all super excited!! Go FOOTBALL!!! Well everyone have a great weekend..

We are all doing well.. the baby is growing like a weed and William is a very good big brother. I get my first night off tonight. I am going to the movies with my mom. 3:10 to Yuma here we come!

And William has learned a new hiding place.. He opens it by himself and climbs in! Good thing he can't close it on himself!!
