With all the hipe of the SuperBowl, JZ did his best to just skip nap and plow through the full day. I told him that kind of dedication only exists when the Broncos are playing in the SuperBowl, but he decided to learn on his own. Well, he made it until the last minute of the game. Lesson learned :) can you at least finish the last of your apples?

Jonathan climbed into his new bed for his nap and is now "reading" his book about Elmo getting a new big boy bed to himself. :)

When they ran in to get me I was standing in the middle of the room. I had decided to get up all by myself and had thrown myself over the top of my crib just as Mama and Grandad had done in their toddler days.

Good thing Mama and Dada had invested in a convertible crib. Dada quickly installed the toddler guard rail while Mama read me a book about Elmo and what it was like when HE got a new big boy bed. I can't wait to test it out during nap time today. Mama and Dada hope that I don't decide to take midnight and early morning walks around the house to cause mischief!

Tonight we were walking upstairs to put Jonathan to bed. Sean was holding his hand and counting every time they went up another stair. Sean counted "1,2,3,4,5,6,7", with each step, and as they took the next step, before Sean could say anything Jonathan yelled out, "Eight"! Sean and I looked at each other and were speechless. Unbelievable what they pick up and just surprise you with!

In other news, this week I've started really feeling Baby McZimmie (code name: Marvin) move around. He is tumbling around like crazy, just like his big brother did. We had an ultrasound on Monday, and the doctor and ultrasound tech were giggling because Marvin kept kicking and playing with the umbilical cord so they were having a hard time getting a good picture of him. He also kept punching against the ultrasound wand from the inside as they pressed it against my belly to get a look at him. What a guy. What are we going to do with these two little rambunctious rascals!?!

She sent me this picture, saying that Jonathan didn't want to go to bed. Look how enthralled he looks, they look like they are doing a duet together. :)

I wonder how old he needs to be before I can let him take guitar lessons.

Tonight Jonathan said, "Choo choo!" in his sleep, we heard him on the baby monitor, and could see he was sound asleep with his eyes closed. I guess he was dreaming about trains. :)

For the past week or so JZ has been announcing to us when he needs to potty. They say that this is one of the signs of toilet training readiness, so tonight I bought JZ his own toddler potty.

Sean and I explained to him what it was for, and he had fun trying to sit on the potty fully clothed. We told him that if he needed to go he could tell us and we would help him use his new potty.

As we were getting him ready for bed we asked if he wanted to try his new potty and he said yes. Sure enough, he shocked us both by successfully doing his business.

Who knew we'd be so proud of this accomplishment? I'm sure we are a ways a way from him being potty trained, but it was exciting nonetheless. They say boys can take until they are almost three to toilet train, so we will be patient and go at his own pace since he is only 18 months, but this is a wonderful big boy milestone.

What a guy!

We don't recall teaching him the word iPad, but apparently he knows what it is and how to use it.
