Day one of potty training

Lillie and I went on post today and did some shopping.  Needless to say she got quite spoiled.  I fell down the stairs today, and I really wanted to cuddle with something tonight lol, so I went and found the cutest, softest, fluffiest teddy bear and make Lillie's day.  We started out in one of her car carts, but the seat belt didn't work and we both agreed that it wasn't going to work.  Also, Lillie got a ton of books, I found a lady selling a whole bag of baby books for $15.  She got a pretzel to snack on while mommy got the groceries bought.  We got the mail, where she played with this adorable little boy.  He chased her around the post office, and they were both grinning and laughing.  We headed to the car care center, where she made the lady at the counter laugh so hard and she danced around and got into everything.  Then we came home and she played a little zoola on the ipad, and then took herself a nap.

When she got up from her nap she had a snack and wore some potty training pants.  We had three accidents.  One almost pee on the potty, but instead on mommy's lap.  She had fun running around the living room in her new hat, and she was really loving having all her new books read to her.  She was just bringing them to me, on after another.

Then we got ready for bed, she got into her Hello Kitty nightgown and we read her current "big girl book".  I get her a book that she can't have, at the library every week, because its not a board book so she can tear up the pages, and we read it every night before bed for that week.

Little Princess' return!

Sorry we have been off for so long!  In this time, our girl has had some adventures.  She is 19 months old now and unfortunately, her daddy has deployed to Afghanistan.
Last night was a great night, Lillie slept the night.  She got up rather late, which allowed mommy to get a couple of things done while she was still sleeping.  She got webcam with her daddy.  She gave him kissies, smiled, laughed and typed to him.  She used the word "please" today.  She also said "cheese", "nice" "shoes" and probably some more new words that mommy doesn't remember.  She took a small nap.  Then, she played happily most of the day.  She got a little cranky at the end of the day.  In short, we had a nice quiet day at the house. Here are some pictures:

This was her inspecting the camera as mommy took her photo. Normally accompanying this is a very close up photo of her finger.

 she is in love with this dog and insists on taking it almost everywhere.

 kisses!

Daily life

Lillie slept all night last night, so I think that she is feeling better from her allergies.  She woke up once at 5:30 but I think that she just wants to see her daddy (that's when he is up getting ready for work).  She got up at 0810 and in a great mood.  She didn't have an accident last night, which is wonderful. We did out usual routine, including breakfast.  She insisted on taking her stuffed toy (passed down from mommy, my first Valentine's gift from daddy) Rufus the dog into her high chair and holding onto him as she ate her Cheerios, diced ham, cheese, and yogurt snacks.  She also had some yogurt, the German Activia because I have been told its great for your immune system.  She doesn't ever really eat a lot of her yogurt.  Her appetite is still a little off, so I have added a snack right before nap time.  The doctor said that she used to be in the 100 percentile of her weight but is now down to 98, partially, I am sure, due to her walking but also due to her recent lack off appetite.  Mommy drank her coffee and read a chapter while she stood in front of me and "read" herself a book.  Then I put her in her swimsuit so that I could shower.  She stays in the bath tub and plays with her water toys.  I always turn the facet handles off as much as I can but I worry that she is going to find the strength to turn them so I am looking for a way to baby proof them.  Anyone have any suggestions?  She mostly fussed about not being in the shower with me and kept trying to climb in, lol.  (Sorry no pictures of her this morning, Mommy's Iphone, her currently, only working camera, was a 3 % battery this morning, and had to charge).  Then she had a little time in her Exersaucer, but earned herself a time out for being bad while I got dressed and dried my hair.  Then we had our snack and off to her nap.  :)
