Come out, Come out!

Come out, come out wherever you are! If you read this blog, let me know by leaving a comment. Leave your name and email by Saturday July 25 and I will do a little drawing. I will do something fun with a monogram or applique for you! A few of my friends have done this and I thought it was fun so now I am doing it! So reveal yourself!! :)

A little update on Kate. I haven't said this before because we aren't really potty training but I did buy Kate a little potty and she has successfully gone tee-tee in it everyday. But by no means are we ready to cut the cord and not use diapers. We got a little one for upstairs and then we have the one that is just the seat that fits on the regular toilet for downstairs. Kate is at a fun stage where she is very aware of what is going on and you can see that by how she plays. She loves to take a wipe and a diaper and act like she is changing the baby dolls diaper. And today I found this....

Kate was potty training her baby doll. I turned the corner and saw her in the half bathroom telling her baby to "go tee-tee." I couldn't control my laughter!

I'm here! I follow your blog faithfully and LOVE to read all about what is going on with you guys!
Hannah went through the potty stage...now she moved on. But today I did buy her some panties just to try and jumpstart things. We will see how that goes.
YEAH that Kate is starting the process though.

Hey Laura...I've been a google reader follower since you gave me your blog address many moons ago...I think I even commented to you in the past??? Anyway, she is such a cutie and I love watching her grow! Honestly, I am also keeping my eye on your site closely waiting on you to make an announcement about a sibling??? HEHE...you wanted honesty, right!

We put Elmo on the Potty daily. And we change his diaper...Hysterical. Isn't it a fun age...challenging, but fun. Anyway...I'm reading!

I'm new but here :) Luke learned by going outside... but he's a boy so i'm not much help. But maybe by the time Miss Lila Reese is ready you'll have some great tips for me!!
I started a blog too! mamaseasonings.blogspot.com. i love comments, they are like little presents.

Lauren said...

You know I love you and your little miss! Your blog is precious...keep up the good work : )

Jenn Knierim said...

I love the things you make and am so totally jealous of your skills! Kate is adorable! I may have already told you this but we did the 3 day potty training method and it was a rough 3 days but worked quickly.

Heath and Nikki said...

What a fun surprise! I'm impressed with Kate. All Averi want's to do is use her little potty as a stepping stool to climb up on things....yikes! I learned the first time around not to stress. Averi might be the first one to enter kindergarten not potty trained:)
I love your blog. It always makes me smile :)

Amy said...

Count us in...on the blog contest, but not the potty training. We're NO where near even beginning to try that process.

Abby Warren said...

Hey girl, I was just looking at your blog earlier today. I can't even remember where I found it. We drove by your house the other day and I am so jealous, it is adorable! If I could live anywhere in Birmingham, it would be behind God's House on that street. Is Kate going to God's House next year? You would love it, it is great!! Anyway, I have been meaning to email you about the shower for A and B. Keep me posted=)

Kristina Brown said...

JJ said...

Since I did this on my blog, of course I will leave you a comment!
Thanks for coming the other night. I will call you soon!

Shea and Jacob said...

You don't have to count me in your contest because I get you to make stuff for me all of the time! In fact, if anyone wants to see your cute stuff, they can go to my blog and see my latest post!! It's all about the onesies you just made for Kinley! But you know I read the blog everyday and LOVE keeping up with Kate...she is so stinkin adorable.

Hi Laura - Jana Savage Martin here...I follow your blog and think Kate is just the cutest! I just had a baby girl Summer who turned 2 months yesterday. You can check out our blog at www.chadandjanamartin.blogspot.com

Do you think I'm bad? said...

I read your blog and LOVE it! I'm also so glad I ran into you at the zoo and meet your sweet Kate. Take care!

Andrea said...

Hi Laura! We have never met, but I have actually met Jason before. My father-in-law is Jim Bunn and he works with Jason. I have come across your blog several times and I keep meaning to comment. When I met Jason back in the Spring he talked about Kate - she is so cute! I love how she is potty training her baby doll! Jim (my husband is also Jim) and I have a 10 month old and I can't wait for to start talking more - I am sure she is going to keep us laughing! :)

Andrea said...

I saw the things you made for Kinley the other day. I was going to call you to see if you would make some things for Cooper! I hope we win. :) I love the potty training stage. Kate is so cute potty training her doll.

Oh, Oh, pick me, pick me. Madelyn or Brooks! Love the idea Laura, so fun. So going to use the potty at 23 months, I am super impressed. Way to go Kate, Brooks may be potty trained by 36 to 40 months. :)

Sally Miller said...

Faithful reader here.....it's fun to see what we have ahead! I wish I could be as creative as you with the sewing projects....it's inspiring!

More Than Words said...

my daughter often asks me who the baby is in the blog. lol. my sister is friends with amy whitlark so I follow your darlin Kate through that connection. I am so impressed at your handy skills! We are expecting our first baby together and I have been calling in favors from crafy friends. lol.

Kimmie said...

Carolynn said...

Ooooo! We'd love anything made by you! I check your blog regularly:) Callahan is experimenting with the potty. That means we have potties in every bathroom, but we're not hard core. She may be ready, but with Evans arrival, I'm not! We'll see what the next couple months bring.
