It's been awhile.  The kids are wearing me out each and everyday.  But what is new?  Caleb is now 9 months old and starting to pull himself up wanting to stand and walk.  He is getting into everything!  I fear the kid will fall and hit himself hard.  I always have to watch his every move.

Grace is turning 3 years old in a week.  She is such a good older sister and takes good care of brother.  The temper tantrums seem a bit less.  We are still working on potty training.  I can't believe it's been almost 8 months that I've been working on her to use the toilet and still not 100% sucessful.  I made the mistake that first week of potty training and took a break to go to Vegas for a medical conference.  The inconsistency has made this process soooo long and arduous.  I've tried EVERYTHING to get this girl to go.  I've come to realize that Grace KNOWS how to pee/poo in the toilet...she just doesn't want to.  So most days she is like 60% successful.  I still trudge along hoping one day all my nagging will pay off and she will see the light and decide to get rid of the diapers once and for all!!!!!  Any advice for this frazzled mommy will be happily received!

Here are some pictures from Caleb's 7 month photoshoot.  Getting the two of them to smile at the same time was hard!
