Big Things

T and Z both hit some awesome milestones during January-February. Time for me to be "that mom" and brag about them!

Teanna: In January we decided to make our second attempt at potty training (the first being the week of her 2nd birthday, which was a total bust). We went from epic failure to epic success! Our tactic was to go cold turkey. We picked a day and told her that would be the last day for her to wear diapers. Each day we counted down to it. When that day came, we went to Aunt Christina's house with all our diapers in hand, and passed them on to baby AJ. Then Teanna started wearing her big girl underwear. She had no idea how to use the potty at this point so it was a bit scary. After only 3 days, the concept had completely CLICKED and we have not had any accidents since. The two M&Ms she gets for going are still a huge motivator.

Zari: Zari took his first two steps on January 29. During the month of February he slooooowly but surely progressed to walking all around. He still sometimes opts for crawling when he wants to get somewhere with lightning speed, but walking is becoming his norm now. It looks a bit robotic and Frankenstein-esque which is very cute.

Ok I promise the next post will include some pictures.
