my babies are growing up. josies emotional & cognitive development is amazing me. i actually think that watching her develop mentally is more rewarding than crawling, walking, etc. it is rewarding because, it is a true personality and it consists of mannerisms that we have taught her. she is a polite & caring individual, that can always put a smile on my face. doug is out of the baby stage, only a few more months he will be two. he has already stated potty training himself, and i don't think it will be long before he is in underwear. this is amazing to me. i stressed about this with josie, but it is so natural with him. i am thrilled. they are best buds that play, wrestle , & truly love each other.
