CLOTHES, POTTY, & YOGURT




I think it's accurate to say that these two munchkins keep me busy. These pictures were taken a few months ago when they both happened to being wearing clothes, which doesn't happen often. When it occurs I usually pull out the camera to document the occasion.





Since these pictures were taken Finley is now completely potty trained! Hooray! It's great for her to have a little more independence since previously she ALWAYS needed her diaper changed right when I sat down to feed Reagan. Now she can pretty much do everything on her own. I have to say that potty training was the one milestone that terrified me most about parenting. Everything else is a cake walk from here, right? Ha!



Reagan can almost crawl (so close!) and has finally gotten her third tooth (two on bottom, one on top). Her favorite food right now is yogurt. I was really hesitant to give it to her because she was really sensitive to my milk whenever I had dairy. I've been having almond milk in cereal and I've given up ice cream - oh the wondrous things you do for your children. Anytime I had more than a few bites of ice cream or spoonfulls of milk she would getting a "burn your skin off" diaper rash that would last forever. It didn't seem to affect her in any other way and my pediatrician wasn't worried enough to call it an allergy, she just told me to stay away from diary as much as possible. Anyway, so I fed her a few bites of yogurt one night to see if it would affect her and what do you know, no rash. But I found some soy yogurt that she loves just as well, so I'll just play is safe for now. That was a very long and boring explanation about yogurt and digestion. Sorry. Just so you know, Reagan loves yogurt.






Reagan does not let Finley get away with much, she protests if Finley takes her toys or food. And does not stand for being messed around with. It's probably a good thing because Finley is so feisty Reagan probably wouldn't stand a chance otherwise. She has definitely learned early on. You can tell though, that Reagan is so ready to be a big girl and get up and play with Finley. Sometimes she'll squirm out of my arms and bend over backwards trying to get on the ground to be with Finley. I'm just not sure if I'm ready to give up my baby yet, not even to her sister.
