Glen used the potty for the first time today!! We tried pull ups but he was treating them as diapers, so I decided that we would be diaper free! Glen ran around in nothing but a t-shirt for a while then he started to pee. I said hold on Glen, then took him to his potty and finished peeing! We then dumped it in the big toilet and I let him flush it! We made a really big deal about it!
He was diaper free most of the day. I waited and waited for him to pee again and he didn't so I put him in a pull up for lunch and we went to try the potty after lunch and he had peed in the pull up. Then it was time to get ready for a nap and I put him in a pull up and he pooped. I think he caught on to me waiting for him to pee with his diaper off so he was waiting for the pull up to be put on. That little boy is smart.
I will persevere though! Eventually, I will prevail in this epic of potty training! Wish me luck!

Big Day for Glen!!
Glen got his first school pictures taken today! They took a class picture and individual pictures! We will definitely be buying some and distributing them to the family! He also ate chocolate pudding today, which he refused to eat in the past. Either he was really hungry or he is starting to try new things. He also ate all of his green beans at lunch today, which he has also refused in the past. He would attempt to eat them, then spit them out! They took pictures at daycare for proof! They will be posted with the monthly pictures at the end of the month.
He is growing up so quick!

Another New Word!
Woo Hoo! Glen has another word added to his vocabulary! He said "juice" this morning! I got the milk out and the juice out and asked him if he wanted milk or juice. He pointed to the juice and I said "juice" then he said "juice", then I got really excited and had to post about it. His vocabulary is growing a lot since he started daycare in January! Daycare really is a good thing for an only child!

Poor Glen!
My baby boy has been sick for quite a while now, runny nose, coughing and the occasional fever. We went back to the dr today because he just doesn't seem to be getting better. The poor boy has an ear infection in both ears and a sinus infection. You wouldn't know it by looking at him. He was outside playing today like nothing bothered him. He was hitting a ball off of a tee, and riding his power wheels four wheeler. He occasionally gets cranky and now I know why. He has started his antibiotic and hopefully he will be healthy and back to his old self in no time.

Yeah! Fresh Paint!
We finally got the inside of our house painted! The living room is no longer the awful dark green with cream trim, it is now a very light shade of green with white trim. It is so much brighter in here now! We went with a darker color yellow for the kitchen and the hall is the same color as the living room. Glen's new room is a beige color. I think it is going to look good in a sports theme. Our bedroom is now a khaki color and looks really good! I am in love with my house again!
We hope to get Glen into his new room soon. I want to hang a sports border and clean the carpet before we start moving his stuff in. Then we will buy him a new dresser and hang some Ga Tech pictures up there. We are planning on going to the spring football game and we want to get a team pic signed by the players while we are there. I think it will be a great addition to his room.

Is it a boy or a girl?
Yes! It is one of the two, not sure which one since this child is already being stubborn and hasn't even been born yet! The baby had it's legs bent up underneath it so the dr could not get a look at what we were having. So for now, yes it is one of the two. I go back to the dr's office in 4 weeks and we will try another ultra sound. Maybe second times the charm. If not we are going under the conclusion that the baby wants to remain a surprise!
Glen spent the night with Me`me` and Pe`pe` last weekend and had a really good time! He got his first tee ball kit, and will hit the ball once then wants to be a typical boy and go and find other things to hit with the wonderful object called a bat.
We are getting the house painted this thurs and fri. It is gonna look really good and we are very excited about changing the colors in the house. We are moving Glen to the other bedroom and decorating it with Ga Tech pictures, and sports theme. We will be putting the baby in the room that is already decorated for a baby. Very convenient.

So Much Has Happened!
No your eyes do not deceive you, the time stamp is correct. Sleep has been elusive to me lately. I was lying awake when I was suddenly inspired to update the blog page!
Glen is still growing like a weed! He is up to a whopping 26 lbs. and I believe he is somewhere around 3 ft. His vocabulary is ever increasing. He now uses the words mama and mommy interchangeably. Sometimes I think he likes to make sure that I am still going by the same name, usually when I am having a conversation with another adult and sometimes just for the fun of it. He likes to stand next to me tapping me saying mama over and over, then when that doesn't get my attention he switches over to mommy. When I finally acknowledge him and say yes pumpkin, he smiles and then proceeds to run away. When we are riding in the car this is a favorite game of his. When I say yes pumpkin and look at him (when Sam is driving of course!), he smiles and then turns his head away. His words include but are not limited to you, me, mine, yeah, buddy, gidget, o, b, d, boy, bear, ball, fork, off, on, and help. Of course these are in childese so, it's not always easy to get what he is saying. He loves his puzzles and his books, and to throw every toy he has in the living room in a way that makes it look like the occasional tornado or hurricane came through.
Glen started going to daycare twice a week in January. The first week was really fun, then when the second week arrived and Glen realized this was a permanent situation the crying started. Boy was that one of the hardest things to do. Just turn around and walk out leaving him with someone who was not his mommy. But by the end of last month we turned the corner! No more crying, just an unsure look on his face. Of course when it is time to go home, he wants nothing to do with that! Sam and I figured this would be good for him to prepare of Pre-K so hopefully will not be dealing with separation issues at that time. Wish us luck!
We found out that we will be expecting our next bundle of joy in July! The due date is July 27. Sam and I will be going for our 20 week ultrasound on Monday. Yes, there will be updates. Hope everyone is doing well and check back again for baby updates!
