Mission Accomplished - Part I

Life is an adventure for the Mello family. We are currently working on pottie training with Evie-bug and waiting for the "big guy" to crawl. Bill and I have found ourselves excited (or at least acting like we are) to take Evie to the bathroom. We are now the pottie cheerleaders. We cheer and give high fives. We bribe with stickers and the promise of panties and other "big-girl" opportunities. All of our enthusiasm is quite entertaining for Evie. She continues to waiver back and forth between the potty and the diaper. I am seeing just how strong minded she is. I know!!!! I know.... that she knows how to use the potty and when she needs to use the potty but she enjoys our cheerleading and pep talks so she keeps "trying" to be pottie trained. All we need is the "perfect cheer"....

As for William...he is officially crawling! That's right there is a crawler in the Mello household. We almost thought that he may not crawl and we also began to think we lacked a gene for crawling. Lucky for us this was just an over exaggeration of our nervous anticipation. I have always thought that crawling babies were so cute. I really wanted at least one of our babies to crawl. Will has also learned to pull himself up and likes to stand whenever he can. He does a funny little side to side dance and acts so proud of himself. I'll post a video soon.
