Not Every Mess Equals a bath!

Maise is just as amazing as ever. This week she has done so well with potty training I am beside myself. Today is actually her first day at the sitter without a diaper. I am so proud! She is also really getting that alphabet down; she even sang it for her Godmother over the phone. She is counting to 20 and really catching on to lyrics and commercials, it is really neat seeing her mimic dance moves also. We went to Chuck E Cheese and she even got to dance with the Big Cheese this weekend. Maise is obsessed with baths. The sneaky Pete will ask for one every time she is a tiny bit messy. “Momma Maise Mess Bath OK!” I actually caught her making a fake mess to get a bath. Yesterday she had 3 baths at least she is clean! This week Maise helped mommy make party hats for her birthday, played a lot with her sister, and terrorized the dog non-stop. All in all a great week! This week we are going to work on our birthday card for Sprout, cross your fingers we get on TV.

Vanessa is officially in 6-9 month clothes; I just can’t believe how quickly she is growing. This week I think we will retire her swing (Maise broke it), her bath, and possibly her bumbo (can’t fit with the tray anymore). She is getting really good at sitting up and I am hoping that her 6 month picture will allow her to sit up on her own. Tummy time is going great she is starting to like it. Her hand and leg control is fantastic it is wonderful watching her play. Those teeth have yet to pop but she steadily gnaws away at that hand like it’s no ones business. Vanessa loves attention from her sister. Every little move Maise makes gets this girl laughing. I love my little best friends.
