I have been working on Potty training Presley for a full 3 weeks now and we are finally done!!! Well besides night time thats another feat in itself. We are on day 3 of no accidents at all!! We have even went to springfield and back which is about 2 hours each way and still no accident. Shes been great through it all. She actually woke up one morning wanting to do it, so i went with it. Im so proud of her. She gets up in the morning and is alittle wet and she goes into the bathroom and takes her pull-up off goes to the potty and asked to be cleaned up. Ahhh shes growing up too fast. Little Avery is right on her heels though. So as soon as i know Presley is pretty well done with the potty training bit i will start on Avery. She hates dirty diapers and actually tells me when she is about to pee or poo or will let me know if shes dirty. But i dont think i can do two at once right now, im not that patient haha. She loves to just go and sit on the potty so if shes really ready i will start her next. Man that would be so nice to get rid of diapers all together. Averys slower at talking than Presley was,( she cant really get a word in with presley haha) but she has started saying more things, she currently says, Mama, daddy, bug, water, flower, gum, more, thank you, please, grandpa, grandma, Nana, Papa, Jojo, diaper, baby, book, cookie, im sure theres more i just cant think of them all right off the top of my head. Shes having bottle withdrawls right now, this is her third day without it, and when she wakes up in the morining she will ask for it, and i will give her a sippy cup and she will throw a fit, and start bawling and throw the cup! The red head in her comes out!! She has a temper and when she gets mad she goes for what ever is in her way. Im still trying to break her of it but its not working yet. Well im off to bed its 2:30, i think i am getting a touch of insomnia and have been fighting it alot more lately so i need to go try to get some sleep.
The girls are doing great! And Avery said, Pretty & Butterfly yesterday! They wanted tea last night and I told them I would make some. Avery wanted to watch, so grandpa held her and she watched everything. When I poured the tea into the container of water, it turned the tea color and Avery said, "WOW" it was so cute!!! And I'm so sorry Holly I had no idea that you were not giving Avery a bottle. Hope I didn't mess your goal up. Talk to you later! I'm calling the doctor today I'll let you know what he says.
Hey, we must be on at the same time! Oh, potty training not going so well around here. Kaylie says "I don't want to potty in the big girl potty, I will just go in my diaper" WHAT? come on Kaylie, if you big enough to tell me that, then I think it's time. Oh Kaylie, my dramatic girl. I hear you about the red-head temper, I have one too and her name is LILIA! She is laid back until you make her mad, sometimes I can't get her calm so Gregg has to. See you all soon!
I was looking on that website for your bows, but didnt see any tutus(except fot the dog lol). I am interested in buying one if you could let me know prices thanks
My niece is very into pink, so if you could make one that is 2 shades of pink(if that would look nice) she is going to be 6, but is very petite she is about 40in. tall and her waist is 19 in.
ugh i am so irrate right now, it is 12:37 the girls are still not asleep and we put them to bed @ 9:00. We put avery in her todler bed last week some days its good other nights its horrible. Tonight being one of them, so i am putting her bed back up tomorrow, i walk in to check on them about 30 min ago thinking they were asleep b/c it was soo quite haha i was so wrong, they found my craft bin i had hidden under the bed (they never look under there) and had decided to PAINT themselved yes paint!! It was that craft paint that does not come off easily, so i have been scrubbing them, presley was covered head to toe no spot left uncovered her hair everything, avery was begining to look the same way, Her cute little night gown now ruined, they got alittle on their new rug i just got them, luckily they were too busy painting themselves & a clothes bin in there they hadnt got much on anything else. Presley just kept saying mommy i love you, mommy i love you haha suck up . Im just tired of it night after night, Sorry no pictures this time haha. I just thought it would be easy for avery to transition shes so good with everything else but i guess i was wrong. Well i hear them again so i am off to put them back into bed, Good night :)
Oh no! Doesn't sound like a good night to me! I'm sure one day you'll look back on this and laugh...maybe not soon, but one day. :) Caleb does that too, when he gets in trouble he repeats over and over how much he loves me. Yeah, I love you too buddy but you're still in trouble. Well good luck tonight!! :)
I really dont have anything specific in mind for the bows, since my baby girl doesnt really have alot of hair yet LOL, but you cant find pretty bows around here so I was going to get some and hang on to them. I see you had on your website a place for the korker bows, how much will they be? I didnt see a price.
So i have been very busy making bows and tutus lately. I have decided to start selling them on line and in some businesses to give me something to do haha and to make alittle extra spending money & i love doing it. I made these tutus for a lady but i had to take some pictures of the girls in them first and they turned out wonderful. Thanks debbie for taking the pictures for me.
so if anyone is intrested i can make them for you for 20.00 and i can do any size or length you wish. I also will include a free matching hairbow so the first few orders. You can pick any color choices you wish. I am making one for a lady now that is going to be pink & black. I think that will be cute. I am also going to be making a pink and brown one as well. So i will post some pictures of them when i am done.
Avery had her one year check up today & all was well. She weighed 20 lbs & was 27.5 inches tall. She got her 12 month shots today & when she was getting them Presley was sitting there watching her & when she started to cry Presley goes "Sissy, Are you okay? Its okay girl, im here for you" awww so sweet. Needless to say Avery could care less what Presley was saying but after the nurse was all done Presley gave her a big hug & told her she "did very good". We also have been looking for one of those really big wooden playsets that has everything on them, & today we stopped by a place that makes them & they are selling us thier Biggest play set which is there display model for 900.000 less than what it retails for, so we got a bargin there!!! So we are super excited about that. Other than that nothing too exciting has been going on the last few days.
Hey Holly! Lilia will be caught up to Avery in no time, right? (Jk Jenny!) Your girls sound so sweet. Is the playset for the yard? You will have to post pictures of the girls playing on it. Have a great weekend!
Lilia is 11lbs and 23.5 inches! I think she might pass Avery up soon...what do you think? LOL My Mom said "What did you and Gregg create?" HAHA..I guess an "Amazon baby"
Oh Man, I can't believe that happened. I know you guys were so discouraged. The storms were bad. Presley will be so disappointed. I'm so sorry that it was destroyed. Did anything else there get messed up at that place? Take care. I miss you guys.
Wow so is Presley in bed with you guys? Why did she start not liking her bed? That is weird. But maybe once they get their room and have the two Dora youth beds in them she will sleep in her new one!! HEEHEE!! Avery will never know it was for her! That may get Presley's attention. And you can use the baby bed matress can't you? I'm so glad that Aunties Veneita & Melissa got Presley the first Dora bed with Matress!! If they tire of Dora, we can use the plastic spray paint and spray them solid to go with anything! They should be able to use them until 4 or 5! Now Lilia on the other hand maybe she will not be in at youth bed at 2!!! JK!! Poor baby she is getting so many funny comments made about how long she is!! Well between, dad, Grandpa, & just by the way Presley say's uncle Randy! The 3 of them can get it put together in half the time!!! Joe said Chuck talked to Keith last night about the plumbing on the house and he said his son was going to be doing the job! Praying that all works out. Joe also said you guys could replace the cabinets in the kitchen for pretty reasonable prices. That is so great! It will look totally like a different house. Just take plenty of before pics and then after pics!! We should go into consulting on remodels!!! But charge for it!!! Oh how sweet that Avery is sleeping in a youth bed!! I can't wait to hug all of you! I would take Avery out of her baby bed too. Gregg stated climbing out of it when he was 7 months old and we just took the front off and put the matress at the lowest setting for him. There was no keeping him in it! He was so tall he could unlock and open his bedroom door and we had an open stairwell. So we put something heavy against the door and he had to go through the bathroom into our bedroom and then out. That way we would know what he was up to! Man, if Lilia is anything like her dad they are in for some adventures!!!! Oh and Joe also told me about the flooring! Are you sure you want carpet anywhere with kids???? HeeHee!! Just thinking of cleanup!!! I can't wait to get rid of the carpet in the office and put the wood floor down. All that was suposed to be done while I was gone. But Joe said, Hummm the kids will be moving the furniture out so no need for me to take it down and into the living room to do the flooring. So I will wait till they take it out! Which is smart, but I was so looking forward to seeing that beautiful wood floor!! And he said the weather has been so yuckie he couldn't paint the outside of the house! MAN!! I don't get to see it all done!! And I know I will kill myself helping!!UGGG!! Hey since the electric is on you guys should try the heat and air!!
Avery has 7 teeth!! Yeah!!! I was reading the above and it all runs together but you know what I'm talking about on putting the playset together grab Uncle Randy to help! He adores those girls, actually he adores all our girls! Wait till he meets Lilia!!
How tall is Presley now? And good luck with the wedding it's on Thur. afternoon isn't it? I can't wait to see the pictures. I think Presley & Avery will do a great job! Can't wait to see you in your dress also. Send pics PLEASE!!
Thank you for the birthday wishes! I hope the item in Presley's nose wasn't too serious! As far as the wooden stake goes, I think I kicked it with my right foot and it flipped up and stuck under my left foot's sandal strap. I'm going to dig it out of the trash on Monday so I can take a picture of what the weapon looked like! I felt like a vampire being attacked! Haha!
Wow! What a story about Presley! I could never figure out why on earth little ones want to stick things in their noses!! My mom told me to watch my sister and I did, she was right by me what could go wrong? I loved to pour peanuts in my sprit back then and she wanted Peanuts. I gave her a little hand full and the next thing I know she is screaming. She had stuck 4 whole peanuts up her nose. We had to take her to the hospital to get them removed. Scared me so bad. The girl NEVER stuck anything else in her nose!!
Hi! Grandpa told me that he thought Chuck was missing his 3 girls! He had pizza with his dad tonight! I think if Joe worked midnights when our boys were little I would just put them in bed with me to keep a close eye on them and keep me company!! Just 9 days and we will see you guys!! Oh yeah I will be shipping a box home the middle of the week. If it gets there before we do could you just set it in the house? Thanks! We will spend the night in KC on Tues the 27th for my MRI on Wed. morn. at 8 AM Our flight doesn't get in until 11 PM so we are just staying, with the gas prices the way they are it is cheaper too than driving all the way home and then back up! I dread turning around on Thur. and going back to the doctors to get the MRI results. See you soon! I got lots of new ribbons for the girls bows!
Yeah, for warmth and comfort I like carpets, for clean ups I like wood! It will be exciting for you to get going with everything. Joe said that the plumbers left like 4 in. of water they didn't pump out. He is going to go over Mon. and just get muddy and check the floors out. He is also thinking that the hotwater heater has a slow leak. You would think with the water turned off it would have all leaked out by now! Can't wait to see it! Joe is putting everything off till tomorrow! He is going to be stressed!! He has to leave Tues. morn. around 4:30AM to get to KC for his flight!
The bows and tutus you make for the girls are precious! You should post on the Pleonast Marketplace group. Be sure to post some of your pictures of the girls! If I have a girl, I will definitley be placing an order.
