#2 in the potty!
Callie did an amazing thing today -- she looked at me and said "doo doo, doo doo" and I repeated back to her "doo doo?" -- and she took off toward the bathroom. I put her on the potty, told her to "push" and viola --- she did it! I'm hoping this will continue so we can save some $$ on diapers! :)

Soccer
Sadie just completed her 3rd weekend of soccer for i9 co-ed, 3-4 year olds.
The first week was miserable. Sadie whined and cried nearly the entire time. One of the main contributing factors was that her cousin, Chase, was not there as expected. Embarrassing is an understatement. She stuck out like a sore thumb.
Second week was a great improvement, however, it was still quite UNenjoyable for all. Sadie participated in the stretches and warm-ups and we were hopeful for a successful day....BUT when game time came....she literally STOOD on the field the whole time. It was actually pouring rain, so we blamed the rain on this mediocre/bad performance, lol
Week three - a complete turnaround (thanks to some extra help during the week from daddy and uncle -- which I think boosted her confidence)! At first, Sadie didn't want to participate, but once her team started to play a game of "sharks and minnows" she started getting into it. She ran and ran during the game and got a few touches! She even did a throw-in.....which was hilarious because she threw-in to HERSELF and started dribbling the length of the field! We were in AWE! She is actually good when she TRIES!
Looking forward to seeing her develop....To Be Continued....

Week 6: much better. No crying, some whining, lots of running.
Callie's 18 month check up
Callie had her 18 month check up and as expected, everything "checked out." Unlike her giant big sister, Callie is only 60% for height (versus Sadie who was 98% at this point)! She is also a bit heavier than Sadie - Callie: 22 lb 7 oz (45%) Sadie 21 lb 15 oz (41%). Dr. Tim Sing called Callie "happy and explorative" and said that second children often don't have as big of an early vocabulary because "parents are smarter and know what their child needs by the second time around." I think, however, that second children don't talk as much because they don't have as much attention and learning time as first children, lol. She had one shot, and according to daddy, "she thought about crying but didn't." At the time of her appointment she didn't have too many words, but in the last week she's had "a word explosion" as Aunty Jenn would say and now she can say a lot more words: mama, dada, baba, yes (with a nod), no (with a head shake), ball, Sadie, good girl (hehe), uh oh, wow, gramps.
