13 months today!


To celebrate her 13 month birthday, we decided to start potty training. She pooped in the toilet today! I would show you the proof, but I think it's rather gross (so I will spare you of the picture that Morgan took :). 


She likes to eat things off our plates. If she can reach it, she will surely try it.


Cooperating for our random photo shoot.


Sad face. 


She loves the christmas decorations and ornaments. Her favorite is actually the nutcrackers. She always points at them and wants to go touch them.


Helping daddy put the lights on the tree.


She loves spaghetti. This night I made baked ziti (very similar to spaghetti/lasagna). I actually used penne pasta and carly figured out how to put her finger through a noodle. It was hilarious.


Carly likes to sit on things. I was trying to make this advent calendar at the end of November. Maybe she was thinking "I'll hold this down for you Mom." The other night I was putting pics in a photo album, she sat on that too. Not very helpful :)

Ok so it's not every month that I'm right on time with a new post on the baby girl. Woohoo for December! Bonus Points? I think yes :) I didn't post this on her 1st birthday post, but something she's been doing for a while now is helping get dressed. It's fun to put her arm in the sweater and see her do the rest. It makes it so much easier! She's crawling a lot further and faster these days and pulling herself up whenever she can. She can walk with her walker all by herself now. She likes to throw fits when we don't let her down to explore the world. She will laugh and smile and think certain things are funny. She loves playing hide and seek with me. She will even do it - where she will lean to be out of view, then lean over to see me. She will follow me around the house. It's a lot of fun to see her playing more, more mobile, and doing new tricks.

Oh grandma barb I didn't know you were so funny. Make sure to teach her to put the toilet paper so it comes off the outside and not the other way.
So one of the first things amber told after eating out at the hospital was that Carly pooped in the toilet. How awesome. And while I don't have a desire to witness the actual event, I appreciate morgan's inner scientist to preserve some form of empirical evidence of said event. And should doubters come forth, may they be silenced by such evidence... And the mouth of two witnesses.
What a fun topic. Fun post and fun phase of life. I miss you guys tons. Have a merry Christmas!

Ahhh Chels! She is huge, in a really good way. You have a one year old! :) I was going to reply to your comment and say, I remember spending FHE with you and your family for Christmas. When FHE came to a close, you'd all put your hands together and chant something in Japanese, right? It has been sooo long, but it was so fun the couple times I did it with your family. You would totally be able to remind me because you are a natural. Can I get your email address, Chels?
