Potty Success!

Yay! We have hit a major milestone! No diapers in the house for over a week. And yesterday, Mateo went poop in the potty 2 times. He is doing such a good job. We stopped the diapers last week and went to Big Boy underwear with a pullup on top, or sometimes we just went with a bare butt. Except for 2 little accidents.. he always told us when he needed to go "pee in the potty". At night we put on a diaper for just in cases but he has woken up dry too for the past week. He goes pee when he wakes up in the morning like a champ. Last week we were out shopping, he kept telling me he had to go potty, (remember at home he always goes in his potty chair, not the toilet) so we tried one store. He didn't like it and changed his mind. Next store, same thing, went to the bathroom, which was kinda gross, he looked at it and said No. He didn't want to come home, then on to store #3. Again he wanted to go pee, we took one look, and turned around it was so gross. He told me he could hold it til we got home, we came home and woila.. the little man went in the potty!! Such a big boy! Well pooping has been harder.. he holds it til he can't hold it anymore.. says he has to poop, goes to the potty and refuses to go. End result...a poopy mess in his underwear thats uncomfortable. Well yesterday, he pooped 2 times in the "toilet". We are so proud of him and he gets so excited he has to show whoever is here. We are just glad to be done with diapers.. at least for the next few months that is! But the best part... We are ready for Preschool.. YAY~~~

The little Fishy!

Whenever Mateo sees a pool, he's ready to strip and go in...the funny thing is, he hasn't really been in a real pool since he was 10 months old in Hawaii. So this time we took advantage and he LOVED it! He loved his floaties with the fishies on them and his "tuba" with the froggies. He loved to "swim" and float by himself. He got very comfortbable really fast. I am sure lots more pool days are in our near future!

Mommy's Birthday and A day on the Lake

For the weekend we decided to get away and go to the lake. We had to get a mini vacation in before I got out for maternity leave in August. We decided to head up to the lake, fish, and fool around. We had a great time, Mateo loved it, but keeping a little kid occupied on a boat all day, and convincing him it was cool to wear a life jacket all day... no easy tasks.. but we managed and still had a great time. Just a little too much sun.

My two captains!

Father's Day ~ 2009

We were on vacation for Father's Day.. so we just took everything with us. Mateo surprised Daddy with a Jurassic Park Hotwheels set Daddy had his eye on. They had fun playing with it. Forgot to take pics of that.. then we headed out to the lake to do some fishing from the shore.

Happy Father's Day daddy.. We Love You!!



Had to sneak the potty one in...we brought it along to help with the transition and it worked pretty well!!

In Double Digits~

Where has the time gone? I can't figure out if this pregnancy is going by faster or slower than the last. I think it took forever to get to 20 weeks but since then time is passing pretty fast. Especially since we really have nothing done for this baby and we are now in Double Digits.. the ticker today says 92 days to go, which in reality is even less since I am having a c/s. No date yet but hope to have one soon. The furniture for Mateo's big boy room arrives tomorrow. It will be spending some time in the garage since we aren't ready for that yet either. Hopefully if all works out we will be painting his room in a few weeks. Once his room is done, then we will move onto babies.

Update on the Big Brother. Mateo is finally going Pee in the Potty on a more regular basis. Definitlely accidents but he is getting better at telling us and using the potty. Good thing since preschool is creeping up on us very quickly. He loves to hug his baby brother. He hugs my belly all the time and tells me "mommy I love the baby". It's pretty sweet. But let's see how much he loves the baby when he comes home with us to stay!

Lots of fun stuff planned in the next few weeks, with Father's Day, My Birthday, a short family vacation and Mateo's Birthday and Party we are going to be pretty busy. Will keep you updated~!

Daddy's Birthday!

Mateo loves Birthdays. He loves to say Happy Birthday.. and this year he even sang to daddy, I will upload that video soon. He loves to yell "surprise" for anything and most of all, he loves to blow out candles. (not only cake candles, I cant even keep a regular candle lit around here because he blows it out!!)

This picture is my favorite!
