Lilly's Laugh

If you haven't had a chance to hear Lilly laugh, you're in for a treat. Our youngest daughter doesn't just giggle, she full on...growls? We don't know if it started when Abby taught her what the Lion says or if she had this awesome laugh before she was born. Either way, we love it.

Lilly, when you're old enough to read this, just remember that we love you and even though we laugh at your laugh, you, like your laugh, are wonderful.

Needless to say, we felt more than ready to tackle the potty training mountain. Abby is definitely a quick learner too. Sometimes it works to our advantage and sometimes to our surprise.

Abby had just finished a successful trip to the potty and still chewing on her prize (we keep a bag of Starburst candy on hand for such occasions), scurried back of to the living room to play with her toy animals a little more before bedtime. Then it happened, the poo-freeze ...  going from full-out run to statue in the blink of an eye, as if she was playing the in the world championship of red-light green-light, coupled with an intense look of concentration.

"Abby do you need to go potty?"
"No, I already have enough potty treat today."

Needless to say, a diaper was later changed .
