It is amazing that Caroline has been potty trained for a year already. This was the beginning of such a hard, hard time for me. I was in my third trimester, large and uncomfortable, and just about to start a horrible round of sciatica. I was incredibly lonely; I hadn't really made many friends here yet. Steve started travelling, which was hard on all of us. I was nervous about adding a new baby to our family. And then we started potty training, and suddenly even the simplest outing seemed nerve-wracking and complicated. I remember sitting in a parking lot that first weekend, crying my eyes out to Erin. It is pretty awesome to look at these pictures from a year ago and see how far we've come. I feel great physically. We've added a wonderful little boy to our family. We've got lots of great friends. Caroline is maturing into a delightful, independent little girl. Life is good. :)
Isn't she the cutest little thing in these pictures? It amazes me every time.

Oh my gosh. . . that could be me writing that first paragraph! I'm toying with starting training Hayden, but I'm just not convinced he's ready. Has it really been a year since we were there? I vividly remember our March trip and that's still how I picture Caroline!
What a pretty little girl. In our experience the second was easier to train. However, Jamie was trained by Dad while Mazie and I were babysitting a friend's baby. Dad was A LOT more patient with Jamie than I was with Mazie. I will let you know what happens with Jacob when we start. It will be a while before that happens though. He shows interest but not enough yet to make it work.
you've come a long way, baby!
isn't it crazy how we think they are so grown when we're with them, and then look back at a picture or video and realize 'she was just a baby!' that's what i've been discovering lately about my own kid:)
