• The Amazing Lorelei

  My little one will be two in just over two weeks.  She is a little chatterbox.  She talks non-stop.  It's amazing how many words she knows, and she speaks in complete sentences nearly all of the time.  She knows her shapes, can count almost to 20 (needs a little help with the teens) and even knows a few letters.

  She sleeps like this every night, with both of her feet stuck outside the bars of her crib.

  

  She's my brown-eyed babe.  She looks a lot like her daddy.
  She only sucks her thumb when she has her blankie.

  

  She's determined.  Once she figures out how to do something by herself and not be scared, she does it over and over and over again. (I lost count at how many times she went down this slide by herself yesterday.)

  
  And she goes potty in the big girl potty!!!!
  
  Yup, she does.  I'm trying not to get too excited about it, but ok I'm really excited about it.  Her sister was... well, let's just say potty training her was a challenge that included many tears and phone calls to my mom because I was sure she would be wearing diapers to college.  Since we began potty training Lorelei after Ainsley started school, she has had very few accidents, and in the last few days, none at all!  I'm trying to contain my excitement and not give away the diapers just yet (she still needs them at night anyway) but I am thrilled beyond belief at how well she's doing.
  
  Thanks for letting me brag on my baby for a little bit.  I knew you all would understand.
