Out of Diapers

Knock on wood but it looks like Maya is out of diapers! She has been staying dry at night for the last month or so and has been using the potty regularly for pee for the last few weeks during the day. The last hurdle was #2. For the last 7 days she has been using the toilet for poo. I think the motivating factor was the ice cream reward. At any rate, it seems to have worked!

Maritime Memories

We recently got back from a whirlwind tour of the Maritimes. Very busy and not exactly relaxing but the kids had a great time! Aidan enjoyed all the museums and new experiences and Maya was happy with an extra big dose of Mama time. Here are some photos of the highlights...

After far too many years, we finally got our family photos professionally done. We were pleased with the results. We used our wedding photographer (who is also my sister's good friend). If you like the photos, check out her website here.

Constant Commentary

Maya is quite the chatterbox these days. It starts when she wakes up and doesn't stop until she goes to sleep - we get a play-by-play of everything that she is doing - sorta like this...

I wake up. I hungry. I wanna go downstairs. I walk downstairs. i go fast. oops I fall down. I get up.

I want see-real with berries. and joos. mmmm..... i like it! Mama sit side me.

Oh I need to go wee-wee! I do it myself.
