This is Nyah...

So here are some typical pictures of Nyah these days. The first one is her doing "thumbs up". The picture is obviously blurry but I can't get her to hold still these days! She did this for Ryan lots last weekend because Ryan made his weight goal for his new life insurance policy. Congrats to Ryan! I never realized what a trick it is for kids to make their fingers do what they want them to do. :) It's cute. Anyway, she also does "two" and says "peace out". I love it.



The next is just her with a cute smile and you will also notice the stickers on my new oven. We have stickers in all sorts of interesting places. She absolutely loves stickers (and it's amazing what I can get her to do for a sticker)!

The last one is her playing the piano naked. She's done better the last week or so but for a while she didn't ever want to wear a diaper or a pull-up. She has been using the potty quite a bit and I figure we'll focus on it after this next weekend and the Ragnar relay.
So this last week at church she informed me during sacrament meeting that she needed to go potty so I took her out and sure enough, she did it (Ryan thinks it's amazing she can go every 30 minutes). Anyway, we're walking back into the chapel and she's still about 10 or 15 feet from Ryan when she says (not in a reverent church whisper but with a loud voice and lots of enthusiasm) "Daddy, I go potty!" Nice - in sacrament meeting. I'm sure we are quite the distraction at church these days...
We also bought Nyah a new swing set and until Ryan gets it built, this will have to do:


Hopefully we'll be able to start building this weekend. :) She keeps telling us how she wants her swing set and the days of hoping she will forget about things are long gone.

Love the "thumbs up". And a definite congrats to Ryan on meeting his weight goal...what an accomplishment. You gotta love the enthusiasm there is for going potty in the toilet. What a sweet girl. I can't wait to see you all in less than a week. Good luck putting that swing set together. She's gonna love it!

SO FUN! Ya, Ivory loves being naked too :) At least I can usually get her to keep a diaper on :) But I understand with the potty training :) And your swing set looks AWESOME!!! Hope the Ragnar is great and that the rain will subside for you guys!

She is so dang cute!

What a fun swing set! Can I come play?!?

My mom always tells the story of my sister Tonda doing the exact same thing at church when she was potty training. Aren't kids fun? hehe

I LOVED the pictures of DARLING Nyah & the explanations are so FUN, too!!! I had a great laugh with the church potty outburst!
