July Highlights

The cool part about having a video camera on my phone is that we can catch moments that we would other miss. The quality isn't always the best, but I'm sure you'll forgive us.

Alas....at Last!

It only took 12 months, 28 days. Maya is now on the vertical go go. We're very happy, but now the real fun begins (as you'll see a small tackle from Ben right as Maya gets rolling.

Some Video Highlights of the Last Month

Saturday, June 13, 2009

...this little girl would never get a chance to wear pink or bows or dresses. Does it get any cuter than this? Well, this little boy is pretty darn close. A few more in the photo album. Sorry, we've been very busy, and not many pictures or videos have been take. Don't worry though, Maya turns one next weekend, so plenty of new pictures are coming, I'm sure.

Ben's New Room

Day One of Potty Training--A Success

Ben got his very own big boy bed yesterday. Why? Because we told him that when he went potty in the potty five times, that we would get him a big boy bed. I think E and I both believed it would be a couple of days before that happened. Well, two hours later I was scrambling to find a mattress to buy, and Ben was having way too much fun peeing in the pot. I'd say overall he peed in the pot 12-15 times yesterday.

He slept overnight in his bed with no diaper, just his Thomas the Train underwear. He had a small accident about 6am, but that was expected. Cold turkey is our plan, so we'll see how it goes.

We're still waiting on #2. Wish us luck.

Also, Ben and Maya have a new photo album. I thought you had to sign up for an account, but I have created a guest pass, so I think we're good to go. I'm going to be moving all the photos to Flickr, so you will soon be able to view all 200K (kidding, slightly) pictures of Ben and Maya on Flickr

Ben Jumping in Pool

Thank you Noni for a great week.

Ben went from very timid about the water to absolutely fearless (as you will see).

A Rare Sports Moment for Ben

Ben is WAY more into trucks and diggers right now, but every few days, he wants to play baseball. This video is one of those times.

Pulling Up (Captured on My Phone)

Both of these kids have faucets for noses. Maya was up a good part of the night, so if you think she looks rough, she does. You ought to see me.

Rats, Snakes, and Dinosaurs

Cautious--yes, but afraid to pet rats, snakes, roaches, or dinosaurs, he ain't. I cannot say that about everyone. E wouldn't even look at the roach. Mamaw wouldn't touch the rat, but Papaw actually petted the rat and snake both (against his better judgement). Maya just took it all in like a champ.
