Rough Week

This last week our family was taken out by a horrible stomach virus. Andrew started throwing up last Tuesday night and then Angela got it on Thursday and Taylor got the worst of it on Friday night. But we are finally feeling better and excited to get out of the house because we were getting a little stir crazy.

Andrew is such an amazing, strong boy and is so cute even when he is sick!

Happy Birthday Carolyn!

Last weekend we went to Salem to celebrate Carolyn's birthday. We ate a lot of cupcakes and had some great family time. We took a trip to the Salem Waterfront. There is a great park there with a carousel.

Here is Taylor, Aunt Kelsey and Andrew posing for the camera after their carousel ride. Check out Taylor's dad in the background.

It's Potty Time!

Angela's dad is really gifted in working with his hands and we believe he could pretty much create anything. He made Andrew a potty chair out of wood and it is so cute! It even has a spot for his books.


Andrew loves books so we sit him on the potty chair and let him look at his books. He really likes it and is fine just sitting there for awhile. Angela has been reading Potty Training your Baby by Katie Warren, where she talks about how to start potty training when the baby can sit on their own. So we thought we would try with Andrew since he is 15 months. He has gone pee in the potty several times and poop twice. We just sit him on it after he wakes up and shortly after meals. It is pretty crazy!
