Kittens!Kittens!Kittens!

One of the cats at my mom's house had kittens.  Lahna loves them...maybe a little too much!  The poor things can barely avoid her pudy fingers, that are anything but gentle, especially when she picks them up by the neck.  They love to cuddle and play.  We need to find good homes for them, so if you want one let me know ( :

Potty Training

Monday night we bought Lahna a potty!  She got to help me pick one out and was so excited about it, that she just had to hold it in her lap the whole way home.  We put it in the bathroom and I let Lahna go sans diaper (she practiced sitting on it) and told her if she needed to potty she could go in her own toilet.  I went into the kitchen to cook dinner while she was playing with her toys.  Next thing I know she comes crashing down the hallway carrying her toilet with a huge grin on her face ( :  She drops the toilet on the kitchen floor with pride and points to it as pee soaks the floor and my feet.  Yay for potty training!!!  It reminded me so much of this commercial I just had to share it...





The laughs didn't end there.  I let her pick out a sticker for going in the potty.  She picked a lollipop sticker.  She stuck it on her little finger and started licking it ( : What a goof!

Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day!!!

Being a mom means sometimes we have to do unpleasant things like cleaning up poop, both figuratively and literally...but it's all worth!
This morning I changed Lahna's diaper when she woke up.  While I went to grab a diaper from her room (and got distracted by all the clothes she emptied from her drawer) she decided to leave me a big present on the floor!  Yes, you guessed it...poop.  Not only did she poop in multiple places she stepped in it and then tracked it around the apartment looking for me. When she found me she grabbed me by the hand dragged me into the living room and pointed to her mess with a look on her face like "Mom this is for you!"  What a perfect way to spend Mothers Day by doing one of the things I've learned to do so well...picking up poop ( :

Love, love, love her!

End of April

This is the rest of my April pictures, besides St. Pattys Day which will eventually be posted. 

Hopefully I'll have it done by the next major holiday which will be the 4th of July!

Just hanging out!



I brought home a loaf of bread and set it on the table. 

Fact:  Lahna is now tall enough to grab things from the table.




"I wonder if they'd notice if I just took one bite."




"Opps!  They noticed."





So excited to go outside and play.

 Like I said earlier Lahna can now reach the top of tables.  She's just checking out what everyone is eating.

Giving one of her famous "looks"

When Grandma and Grandpa were in town last Lahna was quite the Ham.

Doing the "splits"

Grandma brought Lahna a backpack.  She loves to carry it around.  She thinks she is such a big girl!

"Hey, check me out!"

We found a box at Grandma's one day so the kids decided they wanted to see what it was all about.

Jackson

He loved being in the box!

Ryan...not so much.

Here's what Lahna does on a ten minute car ride...

Hangs out.

Does goofy things.

Eats...while doing goofy things.

And finally gets bored...
"Are we there yet?"

While making Uncle Andrew a birthday card, Lahna decided she didn't want to use her hands to hold the marker.  At least I know if there was ever an accident where she lost mobility in her hands she would still be fine!
