Pee-Pee in the Potty!
Ok, so this is for all the parents out there: Samantha went pee-pee in the potty tonight!!!!!!! I’m so excited.

Little Miss has some ingenuity. We have been putting up Christmas decorations inside and out for a few days now. Yesterday, I let Samantha play with some cranberries that I use as a decoration during this time of year (they’re pretty and last forever – and real ones are a whole lot cheaper than fake ones). After she …

Lizzie is moving to Denver today. We’ll miss you Lizzie! Samantha has finally entered the imitation stage. She’s late on everything, so this doesn’t surprise me, but it’s very funny. For example, she knows that after we get ready for bed, she can pick out 2 books. She walks over to her bookshelf and begins to choose. …

This fall, Samantha has learned to say “Roll Tide.” I caught her saying it towards the beginning of the football season on October 10, 2009. Check it out.
Read more →7 Year Anniversary trip
Brian and I went to Memphis last weekend for our anniversary. Some of you may be thinking that our anniversary was about 6 weeks ago. You’re right! We thought to plan a trip in September, but just now got around to taking the actual trip. Samantha stayed with MamaLinda and Pop and saw all of her Burns side family all …

We went to the zoo a few weekends ago. It occurred to me that we hadn’t been to the Children’s Zoo or play area yet, so I wanted to try it out. Samantha rode the carousel, pet lots of sheep and goats, and checked out Alabama’s Wild. And of course, we couldn’t leave until we took a train ride. At one point in the …

Halloween has come and gone. Samantha wore her costume a total of 3 times and threw a tantrum each time I put it on her. I know, how horrible am I? The week before Halloween, the Moms Group at church had a Halloween party. I decided to go since it was in the late afternoon, and she could have a go at wearing her …

I carved my pumpkin the day before Halloween. I think it turned out pretty good and I got lots of compliments from the parents as kids came to trick-or-treat at our house.
Read more →24 Month Check Up
We went to the pediatrician last week for Samantha’s 24 month check-up. The doctor walked in and said “Wow, I haven’t seen you in a while!” After looking at her chart, he commented that the last time he saw us was when he recommended tubes for her ears. That was 6 months ago, so he said it was in fact the right …
Read more →Toddler Days
We are having a serious problem with hitting (and a little with kicking) these days. I don’t know what to do. Timeout doesn’t seem to be effective. She doesn’t care that she has to sit in a corner. She doesn’t care that we get mad at her or yell at her. I’m so frustrated.
