Spring Time!

Being a mom of three sure does make the time fly by! I can't believe Chloe is 11 weeks old today. She is becoming very social. She now looks directly at you and smiles. It is an awesome feeling to receive a big smile from her. Last night Chloe slept through the entire night! I couldn't believe it! I woke up at around 3am, the time she normally wakes up to eat, and she was still sound asleep. I was shocked when I woke up because she was fussing, and it was 6am! If she continues to sleep through the night, I will be moving her into her own room!
Potty training update: Ally started out so good with potty training. She did all of her business on the potty and she even went in public bathrooms! Unfortunately she started having more accidents in her training diaper and every time I would take her to the bathroom, she would need a new diaper. Then she stopped pooping for days and we finally let her go in her diaper because it had been a couple of days. Then she started telling me after she peed in her diaper that she had to go to the potty and she would sit and play for several minutes and as soon as I put a clean diaper on, she would go in it. I was getting really frustrated and tired of dealing with it, so we decided it would be better to wait until I could focus more attention on her. Plus it was costing a fortune for training diapers! So now Ally is back in regular diapers. It is really hard to put her back in regular diapers after she did so well at the beginning, but she will get it when she is ready.
Next week I will be going to the local elementary school to sign Emily up for Kindergarten! It is such a bittersweet feeling. I know sending her to Kindergarten is the best decision because of how well she did in Pre-K. She loves being around other kids and she is really smart and needs to be challenged. I don't feel like I can give her those things. I am not sure what I am going to do with her being gone all week! She is my big helper and she gives Ally someone to follow around.
Here are the latest happenings around the house:

Chloe is not my best sleeper. Emily and Ally slept a lot more during the day. Chloe sleeps usually and hour or less in between feedings. But I have finally stretched her feedings to every 3 hours! What freedom!


One of Chloe's big smiles!


Ally is always trying to play with Chloe's toys. It is a big issue in this house.




Dave showing the girls how to have a tea party. They loved it!



Easter pics. Emily is already hates taking pictures! I thought I had a few more years before that started!

Dave, all those tea parties I made you come to are finally paying off! Victory! Thanks for the update and pictures. I'm so glad Chloe is sleeping longer!

I just want to say, in front of all of the internet, that I was the one who taught David how to have a tea party, not Katherine.
