The Recap

The pip-squeak turned one at the end of January! She has changed so much over the past few months that I can hardly believe it's only been one year.

Little Guy turned five in March and got a big bike. He had a big birthday party with 18 (yes, 18) kids. They had a lot of fun, but from now on I'm sticking to a birthday list that can be counted on one hand!

In May we took a family trip to Disneyland. It was fun to watch both of their little faces light up with all the magic and fun they saw! We're already ready to go back.

The little guy lost his first tooth on May 22, 2008! He has since lost one other and currently has two that are loose.

After 11 months of crawling the pip-squeak finally started walking in June. She was 16-months old.

Little guy's first day of Kindergarten was on August 25, 2008. I didn't know what I'd do without him when he started. Now I don't know what to do with him when I have him!

Hooray! Pip-squeak was potty trained in October. She caught right on and now we are a diaper-free zone. After she started using the potty on a permanent basis we moved her to a big(ger) girl bed. She is now in a little toddler bed. We've never had a problem with her getting out of bed (so the opposite of her older brother), though she has fallen out a couple of times.

For Halloween I gave in and let the little guy pick his own costume. I still have a few more years of picking for my little pip-squeak. Thus, the fuzzy, purple pillowcase with a face! (I think I have a career ahead of me. People will be lining up around the block for my fuzzy, purple pillowcases:)

Last, and least, I broke my foot on November 30. I'm really good at regrowing bone though so I'm mostly back to normal. Thank goodness!
