Pool Party-warning NAKED babies.

Lorelei and Sagen's friend Connor came over for a dip in the pool the other night.

TALKER!!!

We all know that Lorelei is EXTREMLY verbal. She has spoken in sentences for A long time and she even knows the meanings of a lot of pretty complex words. Well, I think Sagen is about to follow in her footsteps. At 13 months he can already many words and some 2-3 word pharses. He says Mama, Dada, Lorelei, hi, bye-bye, Dog, car, Gramma, down, done, MINE, Alright, want, please, I , up, and thank-you (this one is not really clear). He also says "I want Mama". I think that is pretty good!

This picture has nothing to do with talking, but it is cute!

Does this make him 2?

We had a birthday party for Sagen with my mommy meetup group. So we he has now had two birthday parties. Does that make him 2? It was really fun and Sagen LOVED it! I made cupcakes in ice cream cones because ice cream cones ware Sagen's favorite. I think they were a big hit.

What do YOU think?

New Room

We are in the process of redoing Lorelei room. She wanted Curious George and it has been hard to find stuff. The only bedding set we could find was to expensive. Luckly, grandma can make one. We DID find some wall clings to hang on her wall AND an alarm clock. So far we have only gotten one cling up, but Lorelei is REALLY proud of her new room.

PRESCHOOL!

Thursday was Lorelei's first day as an offical registered preschooler. She is still going to our school which is where she went last year, but she is now a preschool kid not a daycare kid! She did a great job! Last year she was pretty clingy to Brian, but this year she sat with the other kids and played with them. I think I have a BIG girl on my hands! She wasn't all the interested in posing for pics, but we have a few even though she is not looking at the camera.They have to wear uniforms at our school, but Lorelei likes to show she is an individual by wear pink (or balck dragon) chucks and carrying a cool lucnhbox!

She may be a big preschooler, but she stills like to be held by her mama.

My boy likes to potty all the time!

Sagen wants to be JUST like his big sister so he is already showing interest in the potty. We have been letting him sit on it. One time in Iowa we noticed he was starting to poo poo and we ran and put him on the potty and he poo pooed in there (on the way home he also poo pooed on Gram's rug...) and the other day he started to poo poo while in the bathtub so we put him on the potty and he pee peed in there! He is no where near ready to train, but he is showing and interest in sitting on the potty so we figure we will let him and get him use to it.


Hello! I am on the potty!
That's right the potty!
Hello again!
No more pictures PLEASE!

Rollin' with my homies....

Sagen has a little friend. Our friends Heather and Elvis have a little boy named Connor. He is just about 6 months old. Before we left Connor was just a little guy that came over with his parents. Now he is big enough to interact with Sagen and Sagen is THRILLED. He LOVES baby Connor. Right now his babysitter is out of town so my mom is watching Connor too (she sometimes has all three of them!!! I call her SUPERNANNY). Sagen loves spending time with
him.

This is the picture that inspired the title. I think Sagen's pants look like the are hanging low like the "homeboys" wear them. That is probably not PC.

I think this is a BEAUTIFUL picture of Connor
Sagen being the BIG guy and showing Connor how his toy works.
So PROUD that he is the BIG guy.
