It's a....

BABY! 

This week marks the half way point for Baby 2.  I cannot believe how fast it has gone by.  Yesterday we had an ultrasound and appointment and everything is right on track.  Baby is as big as a pop can and growing like a weed. He/She has Amelia's little nose.

Yes, we are that couple that opts out on finding out the gender.  We do this to drive our families crazy. Well, not really.  It is life's biggest surprise and makes the day even more exciting.  I can't say that it is easy.  Wade made sure to join me so I wouldn't cheat.  We are taking bets for the gender pool starting now.

Big sister boot camp has also started with Amelia.  She is already starting to give up things that keep her in the "hood", as in babyhood.

The crib has been turned into a toddle bed.  She has done really well with the transition.  Goes right to bed at night time and stays there until the morning.  For her birthday we plan to get her a big girl bed.  I am thinking bunk-beds.

Let the potty training begin!  She is actually the one who initiated this.  Amelia is very interested in the potty and loves to sit on it.  We are only using it at home and waiting to start at daycare once she turns 2.  However, she pees in it every time and almost pooped in it.  I mean almost because she got worried and pooped on the floor right next to the potty.  Oops.

Little miss independent. In the words of Amelia..."No, me do it!"  She is talking up a storm and repeats EVERY thing we say.  She has already repeated "s#!* and OMG. I think I was the one she copied.  Double oops.
