People who don't find out the sex of their baby are cute. There are many more surprises in life!

I've discovered over the past couple of weeks that I am still being surprised as a parent. You'd think after Jack shot poop across the room when he was a couple of weeks old that little would surprise me. You'd be wrong. 

First: lengthy, detailed emails regarding poop and potty training

Second: diarrhea in a toddler can and will happen in the middle of Toys R Us. He'll call it monster poop

Third: toddlers don't always tell you when they have to use the restroom (see example 2)

Finally: when mommy's back is turned for not even a minute, the newly crawling baby will get into everything. Including the toddler potty. Yes, my 6.5 month old just turned her brother's (unknowingly full) toddler potty into a mini splash pad. Gleefully. 

We're working on communication skills. I don't think I can take anymore surprises.

On lighter news, we're almost mostly potty trained. Working on the poop thing. 

Crawling

It's official. Nina, you're hitting too many milestones at once. I guess it's all those sausage Mcmuffins and Doritos I ate while pregnant with you. Your brother got fruits, veggies, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and yet you're crawling about 4 months earlier than he did. 

Let's see, I was going to wait until your 7 month update to post all your new stuff but I'm too scared you'll be moving out and living in sin with your creepy biker boyfriend by that point. You crawl, duh, that's what this post is titled. You pull up on everything, you're starting to cruise around your crib, you frequently pull up to the couch and steal your brother's shoshelly sammich (peanut butter and jelly sandwich). At least we can safely say you're not allergic to peanuts. Oops. Sorry kid, that's what happens when you're #2! 

Let us talk about sleeping. I know you're trying to forgo it cold turkey, but you're killing us. Crawling, standing, and hitting mommy with remotes in the middle of the night seems fun now, but believe me, when you're older you'll realize sleeping is awesome. It keeps the mommy from losing her mind during the day!

I never did a stat update: Jack is 35.5 inches tall and 31 pounds. Nina is 18.1 pounds and 26 inches tall.
