A week of firsts

It seems that milestones come all at one time in our family and this week was one of those times. Grace officially became a big girl this week by taking off the training wheels. After just a little practice, a couple of skinned knees and one scraped chin, she is now an official bike rider. She is doing great and is very proud of herself. The best part is that she can now keep up with her big sister and the older kids at the park.

Nathan got his first tooth this week.  Of course, he's been eating like a mad man for a month or so now, but now he can really do some damage.  He had his 6 month check up today and is doing well.  He's nearing 22 lbs, still a pretty hefty boy for his age.  I would have gotten a picture of the afore mentioned tooth but he wasn't in the mood.  As fun as it is that he's now getting pearly whites, I'm thinking this may speed our weaning process a bit.  Let's just say, the boy's got chompers now and he's not afraid to use them.

The other big deal this week is that Jake finally went from half potty trained to fully potty trained.  He's had it only half mastered for a while, but the "poop" issue has been holding him back.  He figured it out this week and is now very excited about the whole process.  I know, all this is a bit graphic to discuss publicly, but it really is a huge milestone in our house.  But don't worry, I didn't take a picture of that one.   You're welcome.  :)
