updates

*We are still in the throws of potty training. So far we have had at least 3 pee pees in the potty, 1 1/2 poopies and some toot toots. She's getting the hang of it. Sometimes she's just fine with the whole routine and other times she doesn't want to be disturbed to go potty. (I know she will hate me when she's older for this photo)

*She is in love with bikes. Her and daddy have gone on a bike ride to the park (her other love) when the weather has been nice. She yells out "BIKE" every time she sees one.

*She is doing really well with counting and her ABCs. On occasion, I have heard her count up to eleven. Also, I have heard her say the alphabet, not always in the correct order. She will say for instance, LMNOP..... HIJK.....XYZ.



*This is first time with pig tails compliments of Auntie Suzie. As you can see, she still loves bananas.

*We've been utilizing time outs now. Her time out spot is on the steps. She sits there until she has calmed down or for about a minute. I would like to think she understands why she's there. I know she's not fond of sitting still.



*At Easter, she got to jump on a trampoline for the 1st time. She loved it!! It is Jason and Suzie's next door neighbor's trampoline. First it was "little kids" turn, then it was the "big kids" turn. After awhile, they all got in and jumped together.

Easter Time

Heidi had such a wonderful time at Easter.


She prepared for the big egg hunt a few days ahead of time. I wanted to make sure she knew what was going on and what to look for. She did a great job. We had about 9 egg hunts that day.


Eating Easter brunch with Laynie, Wyatt, McKenna and Ava. You can see she is slowly trying to steal Ava's juice pouch. She's so sneaky!


All lined up and ready to be released into the back yard to get eggs. Here they were yelling out, "EASTER!!".


"EGG!"


"Mmmmm, what's this? Jelly beans?"


"Weeeee!" Sliding down the slide with Daddy!


Coloring Easter eggs. She was so precise on her coloring. She even put all the coloring sticks back in their box, one by one.

My family

Pretending to be puppies with cousin Laynie.


Finger painting with clear paint...I said it, CLEAR paint. It only turns color when it's placed on "special" paper!! It's awesome!


Hanging out under the activity center with baby sis.


Trying to be a big girl and pick up baby Hannah. Almost.....

Too cute!

Heidi thought this was a good place to hide when her panties needed to be changed.




That is until I found her!!!

Random pictures and their stories

There are many things that Heidi loves, there are 2 in this picture, her meow meow and her dinosaurs.


Here is a picture of some of Heidi's wall art. Surprise mommy, I found a stray red crayon in the loft and drew you a picture. (luckily it was the washable kind and it came right off.)


Sneaking up behind mommy and playing with her hair. She loves to pretend I'm a meow meow and pets my hair like the kitty.


Who knew the perfect place to store your banana was up your nose?


Heidi in her new knitted Owl hat. I can't explain the expression on her face though. She's probably upset that we stopped her from doing whatever it was she was doing, to get dressed to go somewhere.


Heidi found Libby kitty in her bed and pounced on her!


Reading, what else, Cat in the Hat. We're still practicing on sleeping in the big girl bed at night. We haven't gotten there yet, but she will before we know it.


Wyatt serenading Heidi to the sweet sounds of the 1990's keyboard music!


Heidi showing her friend, Betty, her awesome collection of the perfect toy, cleaning bottles.

Laua Party

We went to an elementary school one Saturday morning for a Laua.
It was nice to get Heidi out of the house and have some fun.
There were arts and crafts, hula hoops and beach balls, and Beachcomber Bob performed.
Heidi danced and clapped along to the music.
Hannah slept through the whole thing. But she did have some pint size admirers that checked in on her from time to time.
(note: These are not the greatest quality pictures, they were taken by my phone camera.)
