Shea - 4 months

Here are Shea's 4 month pics!  I can't believe she is getting so big already. I swear she smiles all the time, but we can't get her to crack one when the camera is out!

I will post a full update on all her many 4 month accomplishments on Thursday after we visit the doctor and get her latest stats!

And, as always, here is the side by side with Lucas. There are definite differences, but overall, I think they quite resemble one another.

New Year, New School

Lucas headed off to his new preschool this morning. Once I was finally able to conivnce him to actually get dressed (he has apparently taken to the potty training motto of "fewer clothes are better", he was so excited to go meet his new friends and see Mrs. Blaylock again. He ran right into his room and didn't even flinch when I left. At least he let me get a couple of pictures in before he kicked me out...

He did NOT want to take a picture before we left. I told him he could stand wherever he wanted. He very excitedly picked in front of the fridge. Okay...

Big boy!!!

Maybe a little nervous...but mostly excited!

Football!

At our house, everyone breathes a giant sigh of relief when college football season begins...the sports world is once again on the proper axis after the drought summer. We, of course, are big Hornedfrog and Aggie fans in this household, but one of our kids has a different idea...

Apparently, she has been talking to her Mimi and Great-Uncle John. Maybe she needs some burnt orange onesies?!?

This picture made me think of this one of Lucas when he was just weeks old...

Lucas is OBVIOUSLY destined to be a Hornedfrog. We might have to have a third just so Phil gets an Aggie out of the bunch!

Drumroll, Please...

Ok...it's been over two weeks since we started the potty training, so I think I feel safe posting this...

Someone got a "BIG MACK TRUCK" for learning how to use the big boy potty and wear his undies all the time :) And someone is pretty excited about it...he may or may not have slept with the truck for three nights after he got it.

I must say, the middle of the first week was HORRIBLE - as in, maybe my worst week of parenting thus far horrible - but something finally clicked and he has been doing GREAT!  Just a few accidents here and there, but I haven't changed a diaper in two weeks (at least on him)!  He knows when he needs to go and runs to the potty to do it. I'm sure starting school this week will be a whole new challenge for him, but I am so proud of his accomplishment!  GO LUCAS!
