Baby #2 is a wiggler!

Last night I felt the baby move for the first time. Or maybe I was sitting still enough and awake to finally notice. I'm 14 weeks along and time is just flying. Aria says everyday that she is going to be a big sister. SO CUTE! We often read the Christmas story and after saying "...and Mary was going to have a baby...," Aria speaks up and says, "Mommy's going to have a baby too!" It seems as if she's really getting it.

On her own, Aria decided to sleep in her twin bed. She is so happy with herself and we are too because it allowed us to move the crib out of her room. That was an easy transition! Thanks Aria. We rearranged some of her furniture and ordered a bean bag - she has such a grown-up room now.

This weekend we picked out some cute underwear for Aria too. She's still not very interested, but I just wanted her to know about them and start to get her excited. The past couple months she as been very adamant about "NO POTTY, Aria wears a diaper!" But, she has sat on the potty twice after her bath in the past few days. The last time she stood up in the bath and said she had peed. I quickly pulled her out and told her to sit on the potty if she still had to go more. AND she got on the potty and she even went a tiny bit more. Aria got an M&M for that! She loved the treat :-) I think we have small progress, but it's progress nonetheless!

Bring on baby #2! We're getting ready!

Shopper in Training

I couldn't resist posting about our grocery shopping trip on Sunday. Once our computers are up and running again we'll get to our Christmas post and we'll be able to include pictures more easily. At this rate it might be a Christmas post in April! :-)

On Sunday we went to Harris Teeter and let Aria push the mini cart around the store. She loved it and did such a good job. We had to herd her a little bit, but other than that she was more patient than usual at the store. I think it's because she was proud of her active role. SOOO cute. Kevin got a picture with his phone. She even stopped to try a sample of cookie.
