Every day goodies

 Oscar is obsessed with our playroom seesaw right now and the girls are gentle and great with him.
 

The girls hang out on this window sill these days.

 11 month old photo shoot. I'm obsessed.

(In this picture, you can see Maya's speck of light light brown in her left eye, it is so pretty.)
Potty training update:
She was pooping in her undies every day. Also pooping on the potty every day, but somehow always saving some for later :).
Now she poops in her undies once every 3 days or so. I thought we got over it, but she surprises us every few days, don't you worry.
She peed at the Target. So yeah, she has pee accidents too. 
But really, she is doing great. Amelia rarely had accidents, so this is throwing me through a loop. But I feel like Maya understands when she needs to go, just would rather play instead sometimes.
She wakes up with a dry diaper every morning. Like out of 2 weeks, she has peed in her diaper once during the night. Yay!
 Bike rides through the neighborhood.
 Amelia is obsessed with coloring. (I am the one that colored that castle, don't want to misrepresent.) But she is becoming more conscious of staying in the lines and mimicking me by coloring all in one direction and I love seeing her progress!

 We go on beautiful walks around Round Rock.

 And play at our favorite parks.
 I know Oscar is looking down in this one, but I think Juan looks so good so I had to post.


 Amelia requests daily to have a picnic with our Halloween blow-up Mickey. And dresses as Elsa. And this super head tilt, the only time I've ever seen it. 

We went to the pumpkin patch with our friends Amanda and Brian. We have known them since our Provo married ward at church. 
  And now Lexi and Amelia go to preschool together!

 This buddy constantly stood up on the edge of the wagon like this, but never got the guts to jump out.
 Cutest babies in a wagon!
 Family picture time! One with sunglasses, one without.

 Oscar spends his time lounging on this stair when the girls are upstairs.
 He periodically lets out a yell to them, hoping that someone will come play with him. I love that he misses them.

 Here is an example of Amelia's drawings right now. She is always drawing or coloring these days and I love that she can sit and entertain herself for long periods of time. I especially love her colorful skirt in this one. And when she draws me, she adds earrings that are a pop of color and that makes me so happy that she knows me. And her name, she is used to writing her name in all caps, and this was her trying to practice doing the first letter A and the rest in lowercase. She's been practicing her "e" for a while. She never did get all the way through her name here :)

Oh, these potty training troubles sound familiar. Our first was much easier than our second! Hopefully she gets it soon (and while I'm hoping I'll hope for my second too) :).
