Pee Pee on the Potty!!!!

We've been working on this pee pee thing for awhile now. Not hard core but just pretty casually. Usually we sit there and read a few books and then Aubrey is done and the potty is dry. A few weeks back now we sat there for a whopping 25 minutes after we got out of bed....4 drops is all we got. The diaper went on and 2 minutes later it was wet. Guess she wasn't quite ready to let the potty have it all!



Two weeks ago we put a a potty chart up in the bathroom. After she is done sitting she gets to put a sticker on the chart for trying. Lots of stickers - still no pee!



Her teacher started working on it at school as well. This has been happening since the new school year started on the 8th. Her report for the day always makes mention of the time that they tried and it is coded as TP. I looked at her paper from yesterday and I saw P with a smiley face!!!! Sounds like she peed in the potty!!!!!! Hooray Aubrey :)

Eye teeth are in!

It took quite some time for these puppies to break through but all 4 have now made an appearance through the gums. Next up - 2 year molars and then I do believe we are done for awhile!

Friday in MA!





























Friday we headed to Janet's for another family gathering. New faces for Aubrey that day were Pat and Dawn, Janet, Brit and Al as well as Morgan. Nana, Papa, Nana Donna, Colin, Nichole, Kenzie, Emilie, Jayden and Amanda came to have another fun day with us as well. The kids had a blast playing in the pool (which was in the high 70's compared to the 90 degree AZ water)! Aubrey got some cousin bonding time in and really loved hanging out and running around the house and the yard. It was a nice way to spend our last day of vacation.

Plymouth Trip
































































On Thursday we headed down to Plymouth to see the other half of Aubrey's family. Nana and Papa had invited some people over so we got to visit with Nana Donna, Nichole, Kenzie, Emilie, Amanda, Jayden, Debbie, Fumie, Jen, Kyle, Kora and Abby. Aubrey had a blast. Nana had set up the stair landing with some toys and books because she knew that was Aubrey's favorite place to hang during our last visit. Kenzie and Aubrey sat there for awhile reading books and playing with the toys.


Kora had brought her bike to the house. We all got to go outside and see 3 yr old Kora riding a two wheeler! Aubrey was pretty intrigued with the bike. She also really liked the little ride on car that Abby had next door for her grandson. After much hemming and hawing she got on and sat there but wouldn't let anyone push her. Eventually most of the kids went inside so she got a bit brave and let me push her a few feet up the street.


After her ride we went in for dinner, dessert and presents! Nana and Papa had brought a few gifts for all of the kiddos. Between their bags, Nana Donna's bags and Abby's bag Aubrey made out with a whole new wardrobe! She got shorts, shirts, dresses, pajamas and a purse. You can see her inspecting the purse in one of the pictures above. She also got a few different books which we read that night and were great entertainment on the plane. Right before everyone left we were able to grab a picture of all of the great grandchildren, minus Jillian.


The next morning after breakfast we headed to Plymouth Harbor with Nana. On the drive over there we saw cow and horses and Aubs was pretty excited! Once we got to the Harbor she had fun dipping her feet in the water and throwing rocks in there as well. We'll definitely need to head back to the Harbor during our next visit.
