A Couple of Milestones...

Many of you know that we've been potty training Abigail for a few months now. Well this week has been a great week for us. Abby has met some normal childhood milestones. Sunday she went to church without a diaper and did great. She let us know when she needed to use the bathroom and didn't have any accidents. Today she went to the bathroom all by herself (she told Sarah "Out!" and refused any help). Also Daddy taught Abby the proper way to wear underwear:

These are her new 'Puppy' underwear that she just has to wear. Luckily they come in a pack of six.

She also has learned how to put deodarant on. Whenever we're in the bathroom she has to get into the closet and get one of my sticks of deodarant. She first helps me put it on and then applies it to her armpits. At least she's not going to be one of those stinky kids. Although, is it bad that my daughter smells like Old Spice?

My Bike

Just wanted to show off my bike a little. I've made a couple of changes since buying it.
