Amara is so big and Alaric finds a new role model

Amara gets cuter everyday but she's also getting so big and doing so much more than ever before. Here she is attempting to sit up on her own. She can't do it without her Boppy but she loves trying.
My favorite part is when she goes from this sweet, loving baby who loves trying new things to a pissed off kid who just wants to be held and not pushed to do anything.

She's starting to hold her own bottle. it has to be her little juice bottle or a regular bottle that is almost done so it's super light but she's trying. The greatest is watching her try to put the bottle in her mouth when she's so hungry. She's determined and is desperately trying to figure out her hands and how they work.

Alaric wore his daddy shirt today but his new role model is our good friend and contractor, Jamey. He decided the only way to wear a hat is backwards like Jamey and he likes to wear his tool belt too ( daddy's belt).

Day 5 toilet training update...three poopies IN the undies today and three pee pee accidents. BUT...we ventured out to Menards and were gone for more than 2 hours and he used the public potty and stayed dry! Baby steps, right? In the picture below you can see on his tool belt his potty watch. It's a watch that's in the shape of a potty and you program it to go off every 30, 60, or 90 minutes to remind him it's time to go. He loves it. he doesn't love going when it goes off but he loves his watch.
