Big-girl pants and snow!

First things first, Lila is potty trained!  We have been trying for sometime to persuade her to go on the potty.  A week ago Monday she just decided she was ready and has done exceptionally well since.  She's had a couple accidents, but I think it's just because she got too involved in playing and forgot to go to the potty.  We've still got her in a diaper to sleep, but she's been waking up dry from her naps at least. 

Jett took his sweet time sitting up on his own, but now he's on the verge of crawling.  He's moving himself around on his stomach, pushing, and rolling himself all over the place.  Life is surely going to get more hectic once he figures out how to really crawl.

Today was a fun day here in Houston.  It SNOWED!!  And it snowed a lot for this neck of the woods, though none of it stuck around.  Jett was unimpressed, but Lila really enjoyed running around outside.  The high temperature today certainly wasn't much of a high--37 degrees.  Until yesterday poor Jett had nothing more than a hat and a jean jacket for warmth, but his new coat was delivered yesterday, just in time for the cold. 

We got our Christmas tree tonight and Lila is more than a little interested in all the decorations.  She has been asking to go see Santa as well.  I've asked her on several different occassions what she wants for xmas and she keeps telling me a puppy dog, and a Disney princess DVD.  Oh boy!  She's going to have to settle for a stuffed puppy dog this year as we're not quite ready for a real one yet.
