IT IS A GIRL!!!!!!

It is offical, my baby sister is having a baby girl. They are naming her Melanie Aayilah Rivera. Her name means melody, like a music melody, and lovely. Everything is looking good, both baby and mom are doing great. So I am going to have a new niece but also get to be the godparent to a little girl.
This is the most recent picture taken of my baby sister Lorene. It was taken on March 19th and she was 20 weeks and 3 days. She is so thrilled to be a mom and so is her boyfriend.

Potty Training

Image
Maggie is doing really well with potty training.  We started about 2 weeks ago with really pushing her to go on the potty and it helped too that she was showing more and interest with going.  She is wearing pull-ups and goes on the potty at least 2-3 times a day.  She has gone number #2 once on her potty but hasn't done it since.  She also has started telling me that she has to go potty, her pull-up is ususally dry and she does go.  Even when her pull-up is dirty, she sometimes will still on her potty and goes as well.  My goal is too get her in underwear and potty trainded by April when she turns 3 because next fall she will be in preschool.

Catch a Reading Wave.......Make a Splash

So today I signed up both girls for the Summer Reading Program through the Lisle Library.  I thought this was something that could help them both have a love of reading that their grandma Kathy, their daddy and I all do.  They have a log chart that we write down the books that we read to them and after the first 10 books they get a prize and then after each additional 5 books they recieve another prize.  The summer reading program goes until the end of July, with a Beach Party and then they will pick grand prize winners for those who read the most books.  The final prizes are pretty cool. The Library also has a Summer Reading Program for adults that I signed up for.  I have to read atleast 3 books and complete a review on each book.  After the first 3 books, I get a prize.  The Summer Read prize will be awarded to the first 250 individuals to complete 3 reviews. But for each book that is logged, I will receive an entry for the raffle drawings at the ...

Katreena and Ray's Baby Shower

Today was a friend of Jim's and one of the lead singers in the band Red 70 Blackstar, his and his girlfriends baby shower.  They are expecting a baby girl in the middle of August. I think they are naming her Arabella Milan, not quite sure if that is the proper spelling of it.  I like it and her middle name is a combination of Katreena's mom's name Mila and Ray's mom's middle name Ann.  They was a lot of food there including a pig roast.  The entire PIG was just sitting there.  I was a little grossed out by it, I think I would not have been so grossed out if the head wasn't still attached to the rest of the body.  There were a lot of children there and it was nice for Eva and Maggie to have something to do.  Katreena's parents had a lot of games for the children including a baby shower pinata.  Ray and Katreena received a lot of gifts and showed us the baby's room, it is a girlie safari theme.  The baby's room is Katreena's old baby room....
