I have been able to do a little bit of canning this year with the extra tomatoes that our garden produced. It is my first time canning and I was surprised at how time consuming it was. I canned on 2 separate days and got 14 quart jars of stewed tomatoes.

Here is a video of Lilah saying some of her favorite words for me.

Lacey, Lilah and I at the elementary school carnival. Tom was there with us too, but he was taking the picture. Lilah couldn’t go on any of the bounce houses, but she still loved walking around with all the other kids. We have such a fun neighborhood with tons of kids.

Here’s Lilah sitting on her very own potty seat. We have been doing this a lot lately. Things have developed quite a bit since my last post. On most days Lilah will go #2 in the toilet 2-3 times depending on how many times she has to go that day. I have gone for 4 day stretches without having to change a poopy diaper! She is very regular and always goes #2 at least 2 times a day.

She’s having a more difficult time with #1, but sometimes catches it really well. One day she went #1 6X! I think she still goes #1 so often that she doesn’t realize it’s happening sometimes. It’s probably because she’s still so young. I wasn’t even expecting her to be interested in doing this so early. She thinks it is really fun and gets excited to sit on the toilet. We get some false alarms because of it. When she does go potty or if she just wants to sit there for a while, her reward is getting to read a book. She never ever gets tired of reading books! I usually just let her run around in clothes without a diaper until lunch time. She is usually really good about telling me when she needs to go during that part of the day. Things get tricky when we are driving or somewhere other than home.

Here are 2 videos of Lilah all dressed up in an outfit of her choosing.
