The blog is updated!

As I'm reminded by Grandma Driscoll :) it's been a long time since I've updated the blog-probably the longest I've let it go. So, it's been updated, and the dates changed accordingly. Even though tomorrow is Feb 1st already, I've made it my New Year's Resolution to get better at it. Olivia is saying the darndest, cutest things, and I need to get more of it written down. Like a couple weeks ago when Olivia really didn't want to leave daycare (and it's almost a daily little game of hers) and Pat had to take her out practically kicking & screaming. He got her home and put her in time out. Once he got her out, he wanted to talk to her about it, and asked her to look at him, and she said she didn't want to talk and asked to go back to time out. So, back she went. But, anyway, I am finally able to stay up past 8:30 now that I'm not so tired all the time and am a little past my 2nd trimester (14 weeks now). I've been feeling alot better too, which also helps. So, there will be more blog posts, I promise.
We have it our goal in the next few months to 1)get Olivia off the pacis-for the most part she just uses them at nap & bedtime 2)get her potty trained and 3)get her transitioned into a big girl bed. Alot to happen in a short time. But we do have her ready for the "paci fairy" that is going to be coming real soon to take her pacis to a baby that really does need them-We just had one come yesterday, so we are down to 1 paci :) so far. Tonight she also went #2 in her own potty chair-the first time she's done anything in it! And she even asked us herself if she could go in it! Hopefully this isn't a one time deal. As far as the big girl bed-this could be the hardest of them all. Thankfully, we do have some time with this one, and can even go a little after the baby's born if need be. But, any helpful suggestions from anybody are welcomed.
Other than that, we're just growing more tired of the winter, like I'm sure everyone else in the Midwest is. It's been too cold to even go outside and play. At least tomorrow we're into February and another month closer to Spring:)
