I cannot believe it

I cannot believe it. My little girl is eating solid foods. I gave her some rice cereal tonight for the first time. I was expecting to see a "what is this" face or something, but she loved it. She would fuss in between bites and try to shove the spoon in her mouth. I'm super glad she likes it, but it makes me just a little sad that she's getting so big. It was about this time last year that I found out I was pregnant with her. It goes too fast. Although one benefit of her getting bigger is hearing her laugh. She has sort of been laughing for over a month, but today she was letting out squeals while I kissed her cheeks. I love it! I love her!


I also had to include the pictures of Tyler getting his potty training certificate. Tyler has totally embraced the 'big potty'. Again, I can't believe he is so big and independent. He has quite the imagination these days. He is obsessed with Toy Story 2 right now. He says he is Buzz, dad is Woody and who am I? Bullseye the horse. Why couldn't I be Jesse or Bo Peep? Oh, well.


Just a side note, I also cannot believe that I finally fit into my skinniest pair of jeans today. It has been way too long.

BIG week

This past week has been pretty eventful for the Pulley house. The biggest and best news is...Tyler is potty trained. My cousin recommended the book "Toilet Training in Less than a Day." I was very skeptical. I've heard people say it takes weeks to train. It took about 10 hours for Tyler. We even went up to Salt Lake and back for a lunch on day three without any accidents. He wakes up dry from every nap and each morning. He choose to call Buzz Lightyear (aka Daddy) to tell him the good news, and picked out a Buzz toy as his reward. While on the phone with Buzz, Tyler exclaimed "I'm proud of myself!" I'm proud of him too.

Also big this week was Hannah finding her feet. It didn't take her long to want to put them in her mouth (like everything else she grabs). She has also been rolling from side to side and reaching for toys that are next to her. She had her 4 month appointment this morning. She is 14 lbs 7 oz (70%) and is 27 inches long (99.3%). She is a pretty calm baby and super smiley. I love my little loves! Although with Tyler being such a big boy now, I should say I love my big and little love.

The many faces of Tyler

Tyler has been very animated lately. It seems like every day he is able to come up with some new facial expression, comeback, or question as to why. I must have heard "but why?" at least a dozen times today. He knows he's not supposed to call names or say "mean" words, so he has been looking at me (after I've disciplined him) and angrily saying "you student!" Now I am trying to teach him what the word 'intonation' means. Never a dull moment around here. Within a given day, I will see any of the following.


When all is said and done, I sure love this big guy. He doesn't want me to say he's little!
