New Obsession

(Disclaimer: Before all you parents of 18 month olds get jealous...know that this is just a game for our sweet daughter. She is in no way potty trained or even anywhere close to it!!!)

For the last month or so, Brayden has become obsessed with the potty. When we are on it, she flips out and thinks she needs to be also. She won't sit on the big potty without her clothes on and has never actually "gone" to the bathroom in the potty. So, we got the bright idea to pull out Kennan's old potty chair. By Brayden's reaction, you would have thought we just bought her a pony or something. She loves it!! For the first 30 minutes it was out, she went and sat on it every two minutes. She would be playing, announce "tee tee" to the entire house and take off for the potty (all while fully clothed)!!! We'll see how long this obsession lasts and cross our fingers she is potty trained by age 2?!?!
This was during the every 2 minute stage...
She looks like she is working on something here!! :)
Before bath time...
I took Brayden to the doctor for her 18 month check up today. Lots of good news! First, she didn't have to have any shots which was fantastic. Also, she is putting on some pounds! She is now up to 21 pounds (which is in the 8th percentile)...for the last 6 months or so she was always in the 2-3 percentile group. She is 31 inches tall and her head is 18 inches (not sure on those percentages). We had a great report and she was an angel. After the appointment we went back home and I tried to take some pictures of her...

This is Brayden's idea of a photo shoot...run away from mom and then turn around, not once putting down the goldfish!!!

I'm so glad your doctors appt. went well and she is gaining weight. She is so cute. I can't believe how old she looks in these pictures. They just grow way too fast.

Love the potty pictures! This is something we're still working with Katie on...and she's 2 1/2. Good luck :)

Very cute!

Maybe it isn't the potty, just the chair? Abby loves to sit on anything and will do it on and off all day...

Glad she is packing on the pounds (she is almost up to Abby's weight! :)).

Such a cutie! Great to hear she's putting on the weight. The potty picture before her bath shows a cute little pot belly! =)

Cute pics! Who knows- she could be potty trained before 2! We started working with A. at about 21 months because she wanted to and she was done before 2. Love those pigtails!!
