Crawling and Potty Training

It's official, Wes is on the move and Olivia is potty trained.

A few weeks ago Wes started off with a slow army crawl and now there's no stopping him.  He can be pretty fast when he wants to get somewhere and crawls on his hands and knees now, but goes back to the army crawl on the wood floor.  It's so fun to see him go, but it's created some problems too.  He gets into everything and I think Olivia liked it better when he was stationary.  We're really learning how to share now!  Wes is also loving solid food (pears might be his favorite) and just started eating finger food.  We've even heard a few "mama" and "dadas" from the little man.  I can't believe he'll be 8 months this weekend!


About a month ago, Olivia woke up and decided she wanted to start going on the potty.  She had been using it for a while, but not consistently.  We decided to go for it.  She did great that first day.  On day two, she woke up and said, "I want to wear my undies!" With a few m&m's (maybe more than a few), a prize box, and little TV as her rewards, she's potty trained and doing awesome!  We keep a potty in the car, but rarely have to use it and she doesn't even ask for a reward anymore!  I never thought using the toilet would be so exciting!  

I'm so proud of them both!!!
