Milestones

We've reached a lot of milestones in the last week or so.

Audrey had her 4th birthday last Sunday. Grandma and Grandpa Wilson were able to come down for the festivities, as well as some close friends. We had Winnie the Pooh cake and lots of fun. I regretfully didn't take any pictures because Jeromy had the video camera out most of the time and I figured I could just put that on here. Alas, after several hours of trying to figure it out, we don't know how to put videos from our camcorder onto our computer. Yuck. Anyway, Audrey had a great birthday, having fun with friends and grandparents, and getting many fun toys from friends and family, and her very own Disney Princess bike complete with training wheels from Mom and Dad. I just cannot believe how fast she's growing up! She is such a little kid now. No more baby. It's been so wonderful when she helps me with the baby or other things, and even nicer that she can do a lot of things for herself now.

Another milestone is that Audrey has been fully potty trained for over a month now. She's even been keeping her panties dry at night. It's been awesome!! Ya, I realize that she was almost 4 years old at the time, but oh well, every kid is different (as well as every mommy). And now Kierra is showing some interest in being potty trained. So we'll see how that goes.

Jacob turned 3 months old! He's smiling and cooing now, it's so much fun! Audrey and Kierra compete to see who can get him to smile the biggest. He was particularly adorable during church yesterday. It's so hard to pay attention when you're holding such a cute, smiling baby!!

We've also lived in this house for 4 years now. We have loved getting to know so many wonderful people in this neighborhood, but feel like our house is shrinking and getting farther away from work. We haven't totally ruled out staying here for a little while longer, but we've started looking at houses already. It's very bittersweet.

So there you have it. Lots of things have been going on and the kids just keep growing up!

Happy birthday to Audrey! It sounds like a new bike with training wheels is THE gift for 4th birthdays. I'll have to remember that for when Alex turns 4 in Sept.
