Flynn's Milestones

Flynn is WALKING now! It has been a little over a week and she has finally taken a liking to using her two feet rather than all fours to get from point A to point B.

This also means that Flynn is now a part of the mix when it comes to play time with the boys. They are not used to her walking and don't realize she is right by them, which results in her tipping over A LOT! It's actually pretty funny. We'll all have to get used to the fact that our baby is now a walking machine!

Flynn is also using lots of words lately:

River
Dada
Mama
More
Up
Nigh nigh
Uh ohhhh
Foo ball

She is quite a pistol and knows what she wants and when she wants it! Although there is still a language barrier between her and the rest of us we are incorporating baby sign language, which she has finally started to use, as well as understanding her pointing and grunts!

Last but not least, Flynn is moving out of the infant room next week and into the early toddler program! I still cannot believe that it has been over a year since she came into our world and completed the Meyer family. Looking over the past year I realize how difficult it was and yet how rewarding it has been. We are so blessed to have three healthy children, who all have their own unique personalities, likes and dislikes. Now that all three are walking, talking, and sleeping through the night, I anxiously await the next year of challenges, milestones & growth, not only as individuals but as a family unit.

To see it through their eyes...

2 in Roo's!!!

It has been about 2 months now and I can safely and confidently say that JACKSON IS POTTY TRAINED!!! I didn't want to jinx the system and figured I would wait a while before bragging that I finally have 2 kids OUT of diapers at one point in time rather than 2 IN diapers! Now we just have to work on Flynn, if only we can be so lucky as to have her potty train herself like the boys did???
Jackson has done a great job and has ditched the nightly pull ups, as well! We are so proud of our big guy. Way to go Jackson Gregory!

Some major benefits to having 2 in roos:
  • Number of trash bags have decreased dramatically
  • No more pullups
  • No more diapers
  • Costco monthly spend has decreased by $100/month
