Potty Training and Roly Poly

There seems to be no time for comprehensive blog posts these days, so I'll just take a moment to post a quick update.
Caroline: Potty Trained!!! Hurray!!!! Now that she's trained, she will only wear dresses-- I think she wants quick access to show off her big girl panties to anyone and everyone. They told me that she took off her dress at school last week and they let her walk around in just her underwear for a lot of the day. Caroline also just figured out how to turn on the water in our bathroom downstairs, and now proceeds to "wash her hands" practically all day.
Luke: Rolling over!!! He flips over on his tummy the second we lay him down now. It has been a little bit of a problem in his crib, he'll flip over and get stuck like that and just do a little fret cry until we go in there and get him sorted out. He is precious-- his personality so far is so laid back and sweet. He smiles all the time and loves to "talk."

Today's Cuteness (and it's only 1:30)

Ear-greens = earrings. Used in a sentence "Mommy I ike your ear-greens"
Dimon-sore = Dinosaur. We went to the library today and the theme of storytime was dinosaurs.
Caroline's current request = Mommy I want a ittle snack.
Luke gave me his first hug today-- he grabbed my arm with both of mine while I was rocking him to sleep. He coos and smiles now all the time, especially loves music.

Better run and go get a ittle snack now.

1 month stats

He's going to be a big guy! Luke is in the 95th percentile of weight, and the 75-90th percentile in height at one month old (22.6 inches and 11 lb 7 oz, respectively). He has already outgrown a few 0-3 month onesies, and we've moved the straps up to the 2nd notch on the carseat. He's such a cutie and I'm really enjoying his newborn-ness, like the gurgles and coos, and stretches with scrunchy faces. Caroline is a great big sister already- she tells Baby Luke that she loves him, and brings me his diapers when it's time to change him. She's also abbreviated her name for him from "Baby Luke" to "B'uke"-- pretty darn cute. I'll post pics someday.... we take them, but getting them onto the computer seems like a big task for some reason.

Luke Douglas

It's taken me this long just to get the pictures from Luke's birth onto my computer!!! Announcing the arrival of our precious son, Luke Douglas, on Dec 22nd at 5:18 am. He weighed a whopping 8 lbs 15 oz, 22 inches long. He is perfect! My good friend Elle took some amazing newborn pictures of him-- check them out at her website: http://www.ellabellaphotos.com/blog/2009/01/happy-newborn-year/
