Advice?

Does anyone out there have some advice on potty training? Eva has declared "NO MORE DIAPERS!" but...she's nowhere NEAR being potty trained in my opinion. She's only accidentally used the potty a few times. Her pediatrician gave me some material suggesting a one day approach where they basically run around naked all day drinking as much of whatever they want, the theory being the don't like peeing on themselves and will use the potty. I'm willing to try that approach at least to see if she's really interested or not, but I just wondered if anyone has any advice or success with a different approach. I think the hardest thing for me right now is that I have a 4 month old and can't watch Eva intently all day long looking for those hidden "clues". Any advice/references would be helpful!

Four Months

Lyla is four months old today. She's a sweet little girl, and most of the time is happy to sit and watch the craziness or just talk to herself. She's very proficient at rolling from her back to her belly, which she does constantly, and then immediately starts yelling for someone to flip her back over. I'd forgotten about how much fun it is to change a diaper on a kid that MUST roll over. She has never wanted to take a binky, but has found her fingers and those work just fine for her. We're loving having her around.

She is rarely seen without those two fingers in her mouth. I guess the other hand is there to keep them from getting away.

Gila Valley Temple

Eva has been very interested in temples lately, so when the Gila Valley Temple open house was going on I got it in my head that we HAD to go. It's a 3 hour drive and the girls did so well going there and back. Eva was super freaked out about the booties they wanted to put over her shoes and she wanted to take off her clothes and swim in the baptismal font REALLY bad. Which she announced very loudly...repeatedly. If it wasn't my kid I would have been laughing my head off. :) And then she wanted to touch EVERYTHING! I can't really blame her for that one though. It was nice to go, but I don't think it was exactly the spiritual experience I hoped it would be for her. Oh well...if nothing else I hope she at least saw that it was important to us that we go.
I wanted to get a family picture in front of the temple, but the battery died after one test photo. So, this is the one photo we have...of me holding Lyla chasing Eva who was determined to get run over. But it is a beautiful shot of the temple!

Lyla's Blessing

About a month ago we blessed our sweet little Lyla. It was such a special day with a good amount of family in town. The microphone didn't pick it up, but I'm told she laughed through most of the blessing. She is such a sweet heart! There were WAY too many cute photos of the weekend to choose from, so I'll just include one of the star of the day and one of the whole group.

Easter

I hope everyone had a happy Easter! Ours was nice and relaxing. Here's a few pics (for the grandma's) of the Easter egg hunt. Both of the kiddos are fighting off colds, so the whole weekend was pretty low key.

Thanks for the cute Easter dress Omi!

The eggs around Lyla's head were courtesy of her big sister. I had to rescue her from having an easter basket put over her face shortly after this.

2 Months

Lyla is 2 months old and lovin' life. She's sleeping a little better at night, which means Mom is lovin' life now too!

oh she makes me laugh....

Eva is always cracking me up. Here are a few of her most recent quotes:

This morning while she and I are sitting at the breakfast table we started talking about boys and girls.
Me: "Eva's a girl, Lyla's a girl and mama's a girl."
Eva: "Daddy girl"
Me: "No. Daddy is a boy"
Eva: "No. Daddy really big girl"

Later that night we were telling Jared about her swollen lip:
Me: "Eva you hurt your mouth today huh?"
Eva: "yeah....on washing 'chine" (washing machine)
Me: "yeah...you cried a little bit huh?"
Eva: "No. Cried big bit."

The other day we were supposed to go to the park after her nap. But alas...she talked for 2 hours in her crib and didn't sleep.

Me: "Well Eva, you didn't nap so no park"
Eva:"YES PARK!"
Me: "No. The deal was that we'd go to the park AFTER your nap, and you didn't nap so now we can't go."
Eva: "Mama don't talk. Eva really REALLY angee!" (angry)

I just love her. I think I'll keep her.
