It has been brought to my attention, by many, that I have been a terrible blogger lately. I know. I think most everyone that reads the blog is now aware that I am almost 15 weeks pregnant, and let me tell you the first 14 weeks were no picnic. I have gotten in the habit of taking a nap when Marianna does and that is usually when I got a lot of blogging and other things done. Needless to say, I am far behind as I still have pictures to upload from California!
Anyway, there have been several recent developments in the Becharas home since the last blog. In addition to the new baby expected in November, Marianna has been cruising right along and will be turning 2 June 9. Last week was huge for her! She picked up potty training like a rockstar (we call her a potty prodigy) and is in Dora big girl underwear now (pull ups for when we go out), and has also changed rooms and is fully transitioned to her big girl bed!
We never thought either would happen until well past the new baby was here. However, once she saw the Dora underwear, she wanted nothing more to do with diapers and asked to go on the potty and has been doing it ever since (I might add though that the 2 m&m's she gets has helped for a quick study :). Also, she asked last week to sleep in her big girl bed for a nap. The bed wasn't exactly ready, so the next day, I ran out and bought some rails for the sides of her bed and an air conditioning unit (it gets really hot in her room) and DJ put her to bed in it for the first time Friday night. I wasn't even there and he was shocked! So far, she has been contained from when she goes down until we get her up at 7am. No trying to get out. Even yesterday, she napped at my parents in their bed all by herself. She continues to amaze us each and everyday. I am so excited for her because you can tell that she is so proud of herself and it shows. We are proud, too! We love you, Nana!
Some of Marianna's silly faces...
Hmmmm...Where did she learn this from??
