this time it's just a nice cold that tylenol and her nebulizer will clear up....

seriously, can this kid catch a break?

I've been bad at taking an posting photos the last few weeks. Here are 3 that have been on my camera that are worthy of note...

Nana Judy and Bapa Ron came down to visit us a couple weeks ago. We had a fun day, as always, and it was too short of a visit (as always). Here are the girls with Nana doing some computer! Avery always seems to blink...


I have purchased the girls snowsuits for next year already. I think I got them each about 70% off the retail price. I love that they match, but are still different. I LOVE ebay...

Nana Dianne and Bapa Craig sent Avery a gift for doing so well at trying new foods...She has been asking for a bonnet for so long, and she finally got one! Now she's a real "Pioneer"! (again...eyes closed...)

When you go to upload a photo, have you ever seen these numbers and wondered what they meant?

For a while, when I go to upload my photos onto my blog, I have been getting a warning that says that I am "currently using 81% of my 1024 mb".

I panicked, and thought I was going to have to start a whole new blog because, after all, if I don't have any more memory, how would I upload photos of my girls?

That was what I thought, until I saw that "?" next to the warning. A couple days ago I clicked on it to see where it would take me!

Well, it took me here:
How can I get more storage for my images?

which then took me here...

Upgrading Storage: How it works

From that last site, you are able to purchase additional storage, which means you can blog until...well, forever, and not worry about your storage!!!

So, for $20, I got 10 GB (compared to the 1GB that you get free from blogger).

• 10GB - $20/yr
• 40GB - $75/yr
• 150GB - $250/yr
• 400GB - $500/yr

please pray for my dear IRL (in real life) friend "MckMama".

Her sweet baby boy is back in the hospital right now having major heart issues.

does it take forever for my blog page to load on your computer???


I think it's fixed now....is it better y'all???

I am so thankful that I have girls. It is really quite a joy to be able to do their hair, and pick out their cute clothes, and decorate their room.

I tend to like way too many things, and often like to change things up. I am in love with these 2 bedding sets, and they are nothing like what girls have now.



I think they each need to have their own room so then when I want to switch their bedding up every year, I don't have to buy 2 of everything!

Avery tried:

toast

and

grape jelly toast

She likes toast, and not sure about the grape jelly!

we'll keep truckin' along!

GREAT JOB AVERY!

Avery tried soy nut butter on toast. The verdict....didn't like it. We'll try again later

BUT

She did ask me to pack with her a small "ketchup sandwich" for lunch....

Progress.....

LIV:
Still potty training. She's had 1 successful poopy in the potty, but the rest have been in her pull-up.

She goes every time that she sits on the toilet. Sometimes, she'll go 3 times within 15 minutes. I'm sure this will stretch out.

When she goes potty, she'll look at me and say "yeah girl"...she calls herself "girl".

PIPER:
Something has changed in this puppy, and all of a sudden she doesn't pee or poo in the house anymore. She used to always just squat on our laminate floors and go, but now something has changed. She'll come to me and bark, or just stare at me when she has to go out. I am SO glad we are finally in this stage. It's been 5 months of accidents, so I'm glad it's over (at least I hope)

AVERY:
Tonight I tried to get Avery to try a new food. She is usually very DEFIANT about this. Defiant doesn't even seem to be the strongest of words I could use. Anyhow, today she said to me that she's tired of eating the same thing in her lunch that I send her. I thought maybe it was "the time" to try again.

After lots of prompting and some tears, we got enough courage to try a little something.

What did we try? Well, she tried...bread. She had a tiny bite, and then asked me to put some ketchup on it. She tried it again, and said it was okay. THIS IS HUGE FOR AVERY!

Second, we tried Applesauce. She likes apples, so I assumed she'd like applesauce. She was nervous to try it, but she did, and does not like it.

She and I decided that we are going to try 2 new tastes a day. I hope she will cooperate, because this little girl of mine has to eat new things SOON....
