A Shoe Thing

So, this past week has been full of exciting little things that only parents can be proud of.

1. Zion loves to do the potty thing and today we bought him his first package of real big boy underwear in hope it encourages him even further in his training.

2. Zion can pull his pants up and down and remove his diaper all by himself (which is a little frustrating at times because he wants to throw it away after he barely tinkles in it... and we certainly can't afford that!)

3. Zion has been doing it for a while now but he's a shower kind of guy apparently... once in awhile he'll do a bath but he definitely prefers to take showers.

4. Please, thank you, banana, bow, more, book, moo, car, yes, yeah, wow... are just a few vocabulary words Zion has started to really use lately.

And last but not least:

5. This morning when Zion and I where out in the living room, I was checking my email, and I guess I didn't think I was turned around for very long but when I turned around to see what Zion was doing, because he was being so quiet, there he stood in his pajama shirt and diaper trying to put on his coat and scarf... he had already succeeded in putting on his hat and his shoes! This was the first time Zion has ever put his shoes on by himself and it was sooooo cute, he had them on the wrong feet bless his little heart. He was so proud.

Thalia is getting so big now. It's just crazy that she is almost what 7 weeks old?! Time flies when all you do is stare at your children in wonderment and awe and think to yourself what awesome children you were blessed with and how the heck did you ever deserve such.
