Year End Review Linkup, part 1

Today I am linking up with Confessions from an Impulsive Addict for a year end review of life in the D'souza house.

A review of 2011







January

Not much happened blog-wise this month. I was too busy with a new baby and exhausted from trying to keep up. (Yes, I know that link is from Dec. but like I said, I was busy and my two Jan. posts are not much to remember. Besides, it gives you a clear idea of what my life was like at that time and why I didn't have time to blog.)
Snacktime at the park.

Littlest princess. 2 months old.

February

February saw me trying to get back in shape and wishing I had more arms so I could keep up. Scarlett also got her first two teeth at 3 1/2 months old.

So cute.

One of my favorites.
March

In March I started Logan's nighttime potty training and worked with Lila on daytime training as well. Getting him out of diapers at night was amazing though it took much effort on my part. (Now it is Nov. and he does well as long as I remember to take him to the toilet at least once a night.)
March saw the beginning of summer (we get summers with temperatures in the 40's) and the kids moving into our room to sleep. They also got sick with coughs and colds and were rather miserable.
The cricket world cup was on during this time and since Glad was watching it, I got an overdose of cricket.

Ready for summer.
Watching videos while sick.
Logan's chalk drawing of me. :)

"Don't forget me." So cute in her summer dress.
The next installment will be up next week, same time, same place. Don't miss it.

Wow! Teeth at 3 1/2 months?!? That's incredible! What a little overachiever you have! ;o) My daughter didn't get a single tooth until after her first birthday. :o)

Emmy said...

That is so early to get teeth! Hopefully she wasn't a biter :) I sometimes wish I had more arms too but then I realized I would just fill them up with more things and still not have enough.
Thank you so much for recapping with us! I recorded your point for the first week.

HOLY TEETH! Are you kidding? I loved looking at all the pics! You've got some cuties over there!!!!

Potty training is starting over here and I don't like it one bit. Any tips?

I noticed that I can't reply back to you via email after you comment to me on my blog. I'll tell you how to fix that if you want:

Click on your dashboard.
Click on "edit profile"
Place a check mark next to show email address
Scroll to the bottom and click save

That should be it. =)

Thanks for linking up with us!!

My daughter got a tooth at 3 months too, but thankfully only one! And I plan on keeping my three-year-old in night-time diaper FOREVER!

Glad to see you linked up.

What a sweet family you have! Your blog title drew me in, it's great.

Tks. for dropping by everyone.

@ Emmy: she was a biter. Nursing was painful until she learned not to do it.

@ IA: I will be posting tips on potty training on my other blog soon.

I had a couple of kids get their first teeth at 4 months. It's not fun, especially if you are nursing!

I can't believe Scarlett got teeth that early! Were you breastfeeding?

Jen said...

What cute pictures!
It is SO hard to keep up sometimes, and I am constantly wishing for "extra arms" as well ;)
Thanks for recapping with us!

@ Missy: Yes, I was breastfeeding, and still am.
