My Little John Deere

She just cracks me up!!

Abby did awesome with her life jacket on the boat, but for just a bit before we got in the water, she was able to leave it off. She felt like she won that battle. Little did she know we were backing up the boat into the water which meant....get that jacket on!!

Perhaps we have started driving a little early....

Getting Ready to Swim

This Summer we have spent a lot of time swimming in our pool. Abby is our official toy thrower. She likes to stand on the edge and throw toys in the pool.

And so it begins....

We have started potty training Abby this week. Yes, I realize she is only 17 months, however she initiated this whole process by showing interest so I thought we would give it a try. I never thought I would be so excited about her first time to go in her potty chair. I am also slightly embarassed to say I teared up and wanted to call every woman I know. Abby was/is so proud of herself however, now she wants to remove her diaper herself (ALL THE TIME). We are taking the approach of asking her every hour if she needs to go and taking a trip to the bathroom. I will keep you updated on the process (can you tell I am a proud momma?)
