Family Pictures

Yesterday we had our family pictures taken at Wabash College.  It was a lot of fun.  Becca got to play in the leaves, climb rocks, and hug trees.  I think she had a lot of fun.  It is really hard to photograph a toddler, but catching them in their moments and photographing their personality can be fun! :)  Kim had an Elmo doll that Becca would not let go of.  As soon as she saw him she wanted to hold him.  So this year in many of our photographs, our friend Elmo is part of the family.  I love this.  Years down the road we will remember that Becca LOVED Elmo and most of the Sesame Street characters.  It just makes me smile thinking about it.  Here is just a sample of one of the pictures.  I am excited to see how the rest turned out! :)

Potty Time???

Tonight Becca pottied in her potty!!!!! Yea!!! I was so excited.  For the past 6 months she has been interested in it and talks about the potty.  Last week she even put her stuffed animal, Snuffy, on the potty and said he was going potty.  I wasn't sure if she was ready to start the whole potty training process though.  Tonight when we went in the bathroom to brush her teeth she opened her chair and said "Potty." So she sat down and laughed then got back up and then sat back down after I showed her what to do and all of the sudden there was success!!!! Yea!! I think I was more excited than she was.  So....our potty training adventure begins.  It would be great if she were mostly trained before our second child arrives in April.  We will see though.

Halloween pics

We did take Becca Trick-or-Treating this year.  We only went to a few friends houses though.  She still doesn't really understand the whole concept, but thought it was fun to visit a few friends.  It was fun walking down the street in her cute lady bug outfit.  When she saw the other kids in costumes, I'm not sure she knew what to make of it.  She was a trooper and had fun.  Here are some fun pics.

This is my evil grin and laugh!

Ahhhhh, get me out of this costume.
