Morgan's 3 year stats

Morgan loves going to the doctor's office these days and she was really looking forward to her check up today and telling Dr. Sampson that she is now 3 years old!

She weighs 30 lbs. putting her in the 50th percentile and she is 36 1/2 inches tall putting her in the 40th percentile for height. Then it was time for Morgan to show Dr. Sampson how smart she is. We were in the "frog" room so Dr. Sampson asked Morgan what color all the frogs were and Morgan told her. Then she counted the frogs and showed her she could count to 15. Next she sang her ABCs and lastly she showed Dr. S she knows her some of her shapes (cirlce, square, triangle). All of this really almost made me cry. She is usually pretty shy and I was so proud of her for doing everything Dr. Sampson asked of her and doing it right! She is such a BIG GIRL!

She was very excited to show Dr. Sampson her Hello Kitty panties and Dr. Sampson told her that she is so very proud of her for wearing panties and learning to use the potty.

After all the fun and games, it was time for her one last shot until she turns 4. She was fine talking about it but of course, cried after getting it. But she didn't cry for long but she is still telling me her leg is really sore. Poor baby!

We are so thankful for our healthy and bright little girl!

Potty Training Progress

We are so proud of our big girl for the progress she has made with potty training over the last week. To be honest, I have been dreading potty training and haven't spent the time working with her that I needed to but while being stuck at home last week for 4 days due to ice/snow I realized it was the perfect opportunity. She mastered TTing without any problem. The problem we have is getting her to go poop on the potty. She is scared and won't do it! We have tried reading potty books, bribing, etc. It is stressing me out because I don't want her to get constipated so we have been putting diapers on when she tells us she has to poop. I have heard and read that it is a pretty common problem and if we could just get her to do it one time I think she will be fine. But HOW?? Let me know if you have any suggestions!! She is very excited about all of her pretty Dora, Princess and Minnie Mouse panties and she looks super cute in them. We are proud of her and hope that she will get No.2 mastered in the near future!

Snowstorm of February 4, 2011

What a crazy weather week this has been! After being iced in for 3 days we got 5-6 inches of REAL snow today. So much more than "the light dusting" that the weatherman predicted for our area. It was SO beautiful and much more fun than the ice we have had the last few days!

Me and the kids headed out early this morning to play in the snow.

Ice and snow in February is not ideal for CPAs. This is Bryan's busy season and he can't take off right now. Luckily he knows how to drive in the messy conditions we have had this week so that he could get to his office to get his work done. He only worked half a day today and we were all very excited to have him home this afternoon to play! We went to Gammy and Pop's house to play in there big backyard of snow.

All of us...
