Toilet! Toilet!

This evening as I was changing Sean into his pajamas, he squeezed out a little toot, laughed, then made the sign for toilet. I thought for sure we were going to get our first solid catch (we've been trying this for a little while now, encouraging him to let us know when he needs to use the toilet, and explaining that instead of pooping in his diaper - which requires the dreaded diaper change - he can poop on the toilet). There was no #2 but we did get our first #1 catch in the toilet! Woo-hoo Sean! You make your Mom and Dad proud! :)

ND vs. Pitt

Here are some photos from this past weekend. We had a great time hanging out with Aunt Elizabeth!

On Friday we had dinner at Senior Bar (I still can't call it Legends, sorry), courtesy of the iNDustry Alliance.





On Saturday we walked around campus for a while. Sean was all seriousness in the new science building.





In front of the stadium. He wouldn't stand still any longer to get one with the field in the background - there were way too many souvenir and food trailers (WHEELS!) to check out.





Father Joyce has HUGE hands!




I bought this bottle of milk for Sean from a vending machine in the library. Of course when I wasn't looking for two seconds while talking with some old friends, he opened it and tried to drink out of it, spilling it all over himself. Then we had to go back to the library to dry off under the hand dryers, but he didn't like that because they were so loud. What's a mom to do? Obviously the answer is, don't have a conversation in the first place! Well I must add that Aunt Elizabeth was most helpful in allowing Mom and Dad to have some conversations this weekend. It was nice!





Mom and Sean watching the band march by on their way to the stadium. He was very tired at this point, unfortunately. I know he really would have enjoyed it if he had had any energy left.





He really did not enjoy the cymbals being so close. It was loud.





My sweet pie. (Just ignore my non-photogenic blinking here.)





On Sunday morning, Sean fed some pretzels to the swans and ducks. He also ate some himself (pretzels, that is - not swans and ducks). He tried to eat one off of the ground but I quickly tossed it into the lake.



That's it for now....

Ok, so I did find some pictures

Did I say not much exciting has been going on? How did I forget our exciting Saturday last weekend?! Gone is the old harvest gold, water-wasting, ugly triangular toilet. The hall bathroom has now been introduced to the 21st century! First Sean tried out the bowl in the living room. He also thoroughly inspected the new toilet and all of its levers and working parts.





Here is a cute shot in his crib just after nap time. If only I had cleaned his face off better after lunch, this would be one to print!





Here is an after-nap video. I usually take him out of the crib right when he wakes up so that he doesn't think of it as a playpen, but there are some exceptions. I think on this day I was just letting him go because we were having a rough day - hence the "Are you a terrible two?" questions which turned into a game.

Oh, how I wish I were crafty!

These projects look like so much fun!

Update

Sorry for the lack of posts... not much exciting has been going on around here. We are heading to the ND/Pitt game this weekend, so I will have a lot of photos to post once we get back....
