Evelyn

So not only is she waving at everyone now, but she's started to stand without holding on to things and push our little push toys around the carpeted floors.  It's really cute and it makes me realize that she's not a baby anymore!  I took her to the doctor the other day because she's had a fever that hasn't gotten better... she has two teeth coming in so I figured it was probably from that.  But, the doctor says she has a sinus infection, an ear infection and her lungs are congested... nice.  That kind of shows you how calm she is.  She just plays and waves.  Practices standing up and squating down.  Sleeps more than usual, but not vocal about it.  Speaking of vocal.  She might (?) have said Mama the other day.  It's hard to tell because she doesn't vocalize a whole lot but it seemed really deliberate.  She crawled up to me, climbed my leg to let me know she wanted me to pick her up, then she said, "Mama." and snuggled up to me.  If so... melt my heart... if not... soon.

Sammy is still doing well with his potty training... he has about 1 accident a day... but for 4 days of training that's not bad.  His motivation?  If he pees or poops in the potty I let him play his choice of a computer game, a wii game, a game on my phone, or choose between chocolate chips or fruit snacks...   He's doind it, the question will be if he'll keep doing it when we start not "rewarding" the same way. 

Ada on the other hand is having a hard time with it.  I let her play or snack with Sam but for some reason she "needs" me more... she wants me to dress her and she wants me to play ponies with her all the time.  I think she's just trying to reassure herself that I love her just as much as Sam.
