Feeding the baby

Everybody loves to feed the baby. Here are some photos and videos...

My 3 babies

A few shots of my favorite little people (from last summer)...

Elefun

More photos from last summer... someday we'll be to fall pictures! Max and Ava LOVE to play Elefun, but mostly they love to be silly :)

The Solars, the Millards, and the Great Water Fight

Wow. I can't believe I never blogged these images. It was a hot summer day and we had our good friends the Millards over. Everyone was playing nicely and suddenly a huge water fight broke out. And fun was had by all :)

iPhone videos - start your engines

It's no secret that my kids love to run around the kitchen table. In fact, that's how we first came up with our blog title, Running in Circles. Here are some videos of them doing what they love. These are from last summer. Now that Lia is walking, she has a stroller too so she can run with Max and Ava.

So hot...

It's so cold outside now that it's hard to remember how hot it was last summer. Maybe these images will refresh your memory...

Ava's hand washing

Let's face it. Ava is little. So little in fact that even with a step stool, she can't reach the sink to wash her hands at Papa & Ee's house. See for yourself...

Mighty Minis

This past summer, we were introduced to the newest, coolest popsicles around. They're called Mighty Minis. They are teeny weeny little popsicles that melt slower than regular popsicles. And, because they are so little, they are the perfect size for little kids. P.S. They come in an assortment of colors, shapes, and flavors. My kids just happen to be particular to the color green :)







And here are a few images of Ava eating a regular, fast melting popsicle. See why we love the mighty minis so much?

Lia & Potty Training

So a month or so ago, Lia started showing signs of being ready for potty training. She loves to watch Max and Ava go potty and she started pointing at her little butt when she had a poopy diaper. I told Josh that we would probably start potty training her when it gets warm enough for her to run around naked.

Well, apparently, she had other plans. I was chatting with a friend on the phone this morning and Lia disappeared for awhile. I figured she was playing in her room, but turns out she was in the bathroom. She had taken off all of her clothes and was putting toilet paper into the potty. I kept trying to put her clothes back on and she kept taking them back off.

So I figured, what the heck. I let her run around naked for awhile. Every fifteen minutes or so, I'd say, "Lia, do you want to go potty?" She'd shake her little bitty head yes and start running (and I mean butt wiggling, hands flying running) to the bathroom. She managed to put the potty seat on the toilet, climb up the step stool, and sit down. We did this all morning. At some point, I realized that she was probably going to pee on the floor soon, so I put some underwear on her.

But, she was accident free all morning, and right after lunch, she went back to see daddy in our bedroom and he put her up on the potty. And she went! Yay for Lia!! Boy was she mad when I put her diaper back on for nap :)

Now, I know she's super little, and I'm not really expecting her to potty train. But, I do have friends who have potty trained their little girls at this age. So, I figure if Lia wants to give it a try, I'll support her. I'm tired of buying diapers anyway :)
