Reece uses the potty, sort of

Today her two friends Wyatt and Nolan came to play, and after Nolan went home for a nap she decided to show off for Wyatt. She went to the bathroom, ripped off her fancy cloth diaper, and sat on the potty. She didn't do anything, but it's a start, and I'll take it!

Getting So Big...

Ryan dressed them for football on Sunday. He thought they might bring the Seahawks some good luck, they lost anyway...but the kids looked super cute!

This is for you, D!

I was recently informed that I should start a blog by a friend of mine I was sharing baby tips with. Personally, I don't really have that much to say, so I thought it was a silly idea, but the more I thought about it the more I realized that it would be a great way for family and friends who don't live near us to keep up with our lives. So I'm going to give it a try, and if I get bored I can always delete it. So, D, this is all because of you and if it goes terribly wrong, it will be all your fault! Here goes nothing!

So for those of you that I haven't seen in a while here's whats going on with the DeMotto/Kramers. (No, I haven't changed my name yet and it drives Ryan crazy but personally I prefer DeMotto)

Reece is turning 2 in November and has quite the attitude lately. She is speaking in full sentences but sometimes you need a "Reecie translator" to understand what she'e saying. She has a boyfriend named Wyatt, and is obsessed with my mom's dog "coocker." She loves to roll in dirt and is constantly getting dirty, and her newest trick is taking off her diaper every chance she gets. Every night before I go to bed I have to make sure she's still in her diaper and PJ's and most of the time she's not.

Max is 4 months old, and both Ryan and I feel like he can not possibly be this old already! He is HUGE, he's only in the 50th percentile but he is already so much bigger than Reece was at that age. He can roll over and calm himself down all on his own! (gotta love that) Max also happens to be the most relaxed baby ever, he hardly ever makes any noise and I was told today that even his cry is quite. He doesn't even mind when his sister sits on him, I just wish he would stop getting so big so fast!

Ryan is hard at work as always, and has a ton of new clients this year! (yeah for client bonuses!) The partners at his work are super flexible with his time off, so if I desperately need him at home he can usually come home. He's doing a ton of networking and  was recently asked to join an invite only group made up of all of the "up and coming" professionals in Vancouver. He is also on the board of the new dental clinic in Vancouver for low income families, and from what I can tell he's basically running the whole clinic himself!

I am enjoying staying at home, and am still part of the mom's group that I joined last year. I have made some great friends and it's always nice to hang out with grown ups! Currently I'm most looking forward to Mom's Night Out this Saturday, and next week it's off to California for my grandpa's 90th bday. Vancouver is growing on me, but I still love to visit my mom in Sammamish.

So, now that that's out of the way I'll have to figure out how to post pictures and then hopfully I'll be able to keep up with this whole blogging thing...
