September Milestones

CAPRI

Our little Capri is growing WAY too fast.  She is now five months old and has started rolling over, eating solids and playing in her exersaucer.  She also loves eating her toes and hanging out in the bumbo while chewing on Sophie the giraffe.  She is perfect in every way and a true joy in our lives.  We call her “sunshine” because she brightens our day.  I wish I could freeze her in time and keep her this age.  I love it!

HOLDEN 

Holden is finally potty trained.  Hallelujah!!!!!  I seriously thought it would never happen.  We have been potty training off and on for 9 months and I have been SO frustrated.  But, we decided to give it another try so he could be potty trained for preschool.  I used the 3daypottytraining.com  method and it worked!  It was a huge commitment and we went potty about 60 times in 3 days, but it worked and gave him more control so we weren’t having a power struggle.  Yay! 

Holden also has been venturing out and trying new foods.  He is VERY picky and has a very limited menu.  So, we have been thrilled that he has added cutie oranges and turkey pesto sandwiches on wheat bread as a regular on his menu.  And tonight he even ate pumpkin pie – shocker!

TAYA

Taya learned how to ride a bike without training wheels.  She finally tried when we bribed her with a prize and she learned within 20 minutes!  She also started Girl Scouts, which has been so exciting for her.  She loves it and gets giddy for every meeting.

DAWSON

Dawson bought himself a pogo stick and learned how to jump pretty quick.  He is amazing – stairs, no hands and 1,300 jumps in a row without falling.  This kid has balance!
