Potty training, Smiles, ER visits, and Ear Tubes!

Can you match each of these subjects with the right child???  The Ziesemer household has been plenty busy as of late!  

We'll start with Jillian!  Her one month appointment was great.  She weighed 10 lbs 5 ounces (75-80th percentile), measured 21 1/4 inche (50th percentile), and had a head circumference of 15 inches (70th percentile).  She is a such a welcome addition to our family.  Easy-going (except for a time between 5:00pm and 9:00pm), taking a bottle great, and plenty of naps.  What more could we ask for?!  

Amelia is such a big girl!  We are all so proud of her.  Aunt Mara shared her potty training secrets with us and we went for it last weekend.  It was a complete mess (literally) the first two days with plenty of accidents at home and at daycare.  But it was all worth it!  She had no accidents yesterday and we are hoping the trend continues.  She is also talking a lot - she is forming entire sentences "Where did Dada go?, I don't know, Where my phone?, Sit down Mom, I want treat" and has a huge vocabulary.  

Mike and Mara closed on their house last week, so we will be saying goodbye on May 11th.  We hope their transition is incident-free as Vivian just had a trip to the ER because she fell down their steps in the new house and injured her forehead.  Poor thing!  And little Wyatt just had to have tubes put in his ears.  He did great!  

Here are pictures to visually update you on how things are going:
