What a week!


Well, Blake has finally used the potty! Now, we aren't sure if it will happen often, but we are sure praying it does!! He really still doesn't want anything to do with it, but Mommy and Daddy sure want him to...so to celebrate we had a "Potty Party" since he loves parties it was one of the many incentives we have tried. We bought a cake (it was late at night and didn't have time to bake it), put candles in and sang "Happy Potty to You" to the tune of "Happy Birthday" - He loved it!!! However not enough to continue to want to use the potty unfortunately. We have worked on it all weekend without much luck. I'm sure we will get there....He did love the underwear he got to wear...it made him run fast!!

Blowing out the candles from the potty party!

He wore it when he was a bit younger though.


Natalie & her poodle
She just smiles at this toy! She loves it!


Blake had a fever this week so he got the royal treatment, of course. We layed in bed for almost two days watching his shows, coloring, doing puzzles and hanging out. He is feeling better now, just still getting all of his strength back.


Blake decided Natalie's name is Natalie Princess Kilian or Miss Natalie. He told me tonight as he was hugging her..."I just love my baby sister, right Mommy." He had a really hard time not lovin' on her when he was sick! Natalie has started cooing this week and she is smiling a ton! It is so wonderful when they start to react to you and their surroundings! She is a really good baby. She has all of us wrapped around her finger. If she cries, Blake always asks "What's wrong with her Mommy" and if she is not in the spot where he last saw her...it makes him just a little nervous and asks "Mommy, where's Natalie?"


Blake is loving all of the new toys! This was actually his, but he doesn't remember that and it is just way cool! Natalie is not too into it yet, but I'm sure she will be soon enough! She really just likes to look around the house. She loves the french doors in our living room, the wall of pictures, and all the things hanging in her room.



We watched the inauguration. I don't ever remember seeing one before. It was pretty cool.


Natalie handles Blake mauling her pretty well. We couldn't ask for Blake to be a better big brother. He LOVES her so much!


I had Nana take a couple pictures of me with my babies!
