We're still here!

Sorry it's been an eternity since I posted on here. Work has been a little bit busy lately, so I haven't taken the time to keep up on here. Boy do we have a lot to post about!! That's the bad time about taking time off from blogging... you forget what you needed to blog about! I'm gonna start with the latest stuff and try to work my way back to the old stuff I've forgotten. :)

For starters, I was awakened yesterday morning at about 4:30 to "Owee pee pee potty. Owee pee pee potty. Owee pee pee potty...." So I got him up, took him to the potty where he pee peed and then took him back to bed and he went right back to sleep!! I couldnt believe it! His teachers at school are starting to help with the potty training too, but they said that Wednesday he just stared at the potty like it was something strange... He says he went yesterday, but I haven't gotten to confirm that with his teachers yet. :) He's up to about 4-5 times in the potty when he's home all day and he's poo-ed in the potty 2-3 times on his own. Very exciting! :)

So I post this before it's week out of date, I'll post more updates tonight or tomorrow.

Owen's new words of the week... Well, he's saying almost anything he wants and repeats a lot of what we say, but there are a few things that are particularly cute. :)

"Canny" - formerly "nini" (candy)

"Mama Tina" - I think his dadda taught him that one

"Unc Matt" - my brother

"Dadda Unc Matt" - He says this because we told him Dadda's name is Matt.... I think perhaps he's a little confused about all that. :)

"Tanny" - Nancy (Unc Matt's girlfriend)

"Ake" - Lake (where we went for a family reunion last weekend - more on that to come)

"bi-see-cool" - bicycle

"Nana's big uh-oh" - Nana's knee injury (I think I still need to blog about that)

"NO! Eh-uh!" - He's become his sister's boss... oh boy!

"chock milk" - chocolate milk

"draw" - he likes to draw with his dadda's pens and pencils in the office

"keee nex" - Kleenex

"nack neen" - napkin

"pate" - plate

"see-yo bar" - cereal bar

"caw cotch" - washcloth

There's many many more, but I think those are the top ones. I still need to blog about Owen's birthday, his swing set, his new class at school, Ella's hair, trying to crawl, and many other things. More to come! I promise!
