Goodness!

Where did the time go?! I can't believe I haven't updated since the 8th! Man. I feel like a slacker! Anyway, here's a short update on how we're doing at home!

Jack is doing great! We're letting him doing more self feeding since he's suddenly Mr. Independent but he's still doing great. There are still fights over certain food, broccoli, mashed potatoes and cauliflower come to mind. But more often than not, he fights the first bite and realizes that he's got to eat it regardless and will start eating it himself. We've definitely established a good routine with him here. One thing we need to start doing is introducing new foods but for some reason we can't think of any good ones to try. The only new food he's started since being home is fresh pineapple.

So feeding is going really, really well AND  yesterday he decided he was ready to Potty Train. Can I get a Hallelujah? Yesterday went pretty well. A few instances of not getting on the Potty fast enough but for the most part, he did it without accident from 5 pm (when he first told me he needed to pee on the Potty) until 830 pm when we put on a diaper to send him to bed. Hopefully this is the start of the downfall of diapers! I wouldn't know what to do with myself with only kid in diapers!

This post is a jumbled mess so I apologize for jumping around a ton.

So this weekend we had his third birthday party! I can't believe that he is going to be three tomorrow! Anyway, his Octonaut birthday party went pretty well. Since he's only going to be three I didn't worry so much about games for the kids as we rented a bounce house. My decorations crapped out but I don't think anyone cared. Everyone seemed to have a good time and I know Jack was happy to see all his friends!
I, again, forgot to take any pictures, like I've done at every other birthday party. Oy. But I did remember to take some pictures of the cake! So here it is!

Octonauts Cake! 

Sea Creature Cupcake Tree!

So tomorrow Little Man turns three. Where in the world has time gone?! I can't believe that he's already three! I asked him what he wanted for his birthday dinner and he said "Salmon" I think. I have no clue where he got that from but I think we'll make him his favorite of either fish sticks or chicken nuggets for dinner.
I probably won't update until next week since we're headed out of town for our first vacation as a family of four! We're going to Williamsburg for two days! I can't wait, I think we all need a little vacation time!
