Today I really felt like a proud mommy. First Harper. I think she is about 90% potty trained. She will tell us almost all the time when she has to go #1 but we are still working on #2. She has been having several days in a row now with no accidents or just one, most of those are pooping in her pant. Last night she got up in the middle of the night, still dry, and told me she needed to go potty and went! She was still wet when she woke up but the night training is suppose to take longer but last night was a good start. Another big accomplishment tonight happened tonight for her. We were in town bringing Colby supper during his overtime shift and she said she had to go potty. Well the easiest was to just go home and hope she didn't pee her pants before me got there. I was very concerned because she kept saying "potty, potty, potty" and I would tell her we were going there right now and to hold it. Sure enough by the time we got home, which is like 20 minutes, she was still dry and went in the potty. Along with doing super well with potty training she is also developing her language. She will say 2 word sentences, says please and thank you and will repeat what you say a lot. She is miss independent and attitude though. She will tell me no when I tell her to do something and doesn't listen very well most of the time. But hey she is only 18 months so we should only expect so much.
Waylon is 2 months now. Man where has those two months gone!! He is lifting his head up with pretty good control. He loves to smile and coo at us, which is so adorable. We had his 2 month check today. He is a chunky monkey. He is 13 lbs and in the 82nd percentile. He is short though and has a small head. He had his shots today too which he handled very well. The one thing I hope he gets soon is a schedule. He doesn't really have a schedule especially at night. Some nights he sleeps really well for 4-5 hours and then others he will be up every 2 hours. He will fall asleep on his own though if you put him in his crib a little bit awake. Tomorrow night we are going to try moving him out of our room. Harper slept longer once we moved her into her own room so I am hoping he will do the same. I am concerned though because he will be in the same room as Harper. I hope Waylon doesn't wake Harper up or the other way. We will just have to see how it goes.
Another huge change for us is we are trying to buy a house. We have a lot of student loans so getting a house loan has proven to be challenging. We are also debating whether to buy a different house with some land or putting a new house on the land we already live on. We are thinking it might take a while to get a loan or at least until we either bring in more money or take out some of our debt. Colby has also been really wanted a truck. We found we that is really nice. We are thinking about trading in our SUV and then using most of our tax refund to pay for a truck. I really hope this will work out in the end. I would like to take some of our refund and put it into savings and some towards students loans. Things will work out and hopefully we can get both a new house and a truck.
