Asher 3 months!!

We've loved this sweet baby boy for 3 months now! He has been the perfect addition to our family. We love him to death and big sister is pretty fond of him too!

Asher slept 9-5 our first night in a hotel as a family of four! We had lots of snow in KY so my work wanted me to stay in town so we took a "vacation" to the Hampton Inn ;)

In a normal night at home Asher goes to sleep around 8 and wakes around 12 & 4 to eat, then he's up for the day at 630!

He's still nursing every 3-4 hours during the day. He takes a bottle with hesitation when I'm not around, he loves his momma!

He really wants to sit up like a big boy. I figure he will have it mastered at 4 months. I'm guessing he weighs around 17 pounds now. He's in 6-9 month clothes and size 3 diapers! 

I just love my Asher Boone. I thank The Lord for my family every day!!

Blessed.

Potty Trained!

It has only taken 2 1/2 years but Graceyn B is finally thisclose to being potty trained!!!

I never imagined it would take her this long to WANT to use the potty. Shes known for a loooooong time how to use the potty and what the urges felt like. She's just flat out refused to do it. Saying "I want to pee in my diaper", for real???

For her first birthday we got her a little pink potty...

We knew it was too early but we began to talk to her about using the potty and she would watch us use it (ours not hers ;)). I always said I would wait until she was ready to make it easier on us all. Well one morning when she was 14 months old she said "Pee pee" and we took her to the potty and she peed!!! We were thrilled to death and assumed it was just a fluke. The next few days we would take her potty here and there and every time she would use it! She even pooped in it for her daddy!!

So we just knew she would be potty trained early. Ha!! She showed us.. Around 18 months she got really good at it. She even went a few nights in panties, we were so excited to be on our way out of diapers. Then we hit a wall. She started refusing to use the potty and then she wouldn't even let us change her diaper ( terrible twos?!?!). 

Anyways long sorry short she completely regressed in the potty training area. She's so stubborn sometimes (I'm not sure where she gets that from....). 

Right before Christmas she became OBSESSED with Paw Patrol. So I bought her these boy underwear in hopes they would do the trick..

 

She loves them and I'm not sure if they have actually helped or if she has just decided to finally use the potty. Either way we are almost there! She's been in panties for 3 nights now and has remained dry!!! Now to get Asher out of diapers.... Lol!!

Blessed.
