Instead of going home after the week at gramma and grandpa's we headed to Nana and Papa's house! The reason was Great Grandma Lillian, LuAnn and Bob were coming up from Kansas.
We also got to see Auntie Awesome, Unkie Cool, Paige and Alaina. Alaina loved holding Isabelle, which required Nana and Auntie Awesome to give up some of their snuggle time! :)
Seeing the Safly's also worked out well in respect to potty training. Both Paige and Alaina were super encouraging to Amelia and cheered at every success. Paige sat and read books to Amelia and Alaina, she was in it to win it! So.....couple stories.....
Patrick was helping Amelia go potty and Alaina was watching. She had a success and Patrick said, Oh Amelia I'm so proud of you! Alaina tucked this away in her brain.
Later on, Alaina comes running downstairs, Unkie, Unkie, you need to come upstairs, Amelia needs help going potty. As they are going upstairs Alaina says to Patrick, Amelia is not making me very proud - she is not going potty. Patrick finds Amelia with the bottom clothes missing and trying to get on the pot. Alaina had been helping her and if she could have, she probably would have lifted her up there. So Patrick gets Amelia on the potty and she has a success. Alaina starts cheering saying....Amelia I'm so proud of you! Yay!

It was so so sweet how Alaina was totally helping.....she would run and get Amelia her treats after successes and would come tell me when she had one with such excitement in her eyes!!
Thanks so much girls for helping Amelia!

Paige and Alaina were playing a game with Amelia where Paige would cover up Amelia and then quick take off the blanket.....
Then Alaina would tickle Amelia. Oh how she laughed!
Great Grandma Lillian and Isabelle. It was so crazy, pretty much every time Lillian picked up Isabelle, she would cry non-stop. She would hold off a little longer if she wasn't facing her, but would still figure it out and cry. We all laughed! Luckily Lillian still was able to get in some snuggles and was so understanding of Isabelle.

Yay! Some snuggles from Great Grandma!
Amelia learned how to ride trike. She was starting to get the hang of it on the littlest one, but was still working on the whole coordination thing.
Here she comes!
