Andrew is such a thoughtful young guy, so sweet and tender if someone is injured. I'm incredibly proud of his compassion and concern.
I'm also incredibly proud of his grammar, sound weird I know, but for someone who was evaluated by EI to have a 9 month expressive language at 23 months the fact that his speech is not only right on track but that his grammar is also so great is pretty awesome.
For Cooper, I'm really proud of his manners. He is always on top of his please, thank you and you're welcome and it sounds so adorable coming out of his little 2 year old way of talking.
what i want to know is where on earth did that super cute lil girly girl voice come from that dd has ?!?

E is really starting to learn her letters and it is great when she brings me a letter and says, "M!" and it is an M. She loves to sing and is learning ABCs, Twinkle Twinkle and Itsy Bitsy Spider. It is so great to hear her singing them.
I am proud of A for getting straight A's this whole school year. School isn't over just yet (May 26th) but she has been working really hard.
I'm also proud of her for being such a great big sister already. She is always trying to feel little E moving around in my belly. She also spent some of her own money on buying E a shirt and bear! This happened when she was away at Science camp so she didn't even have any of us encouraging her to do it! I love her tons

We've been slowly working on potty training, but Madison decided this weekend that she only wanted to wear big girl panties, and since then she hasn't had one accident. She's been sleeping in diapers, but she's woken up dry every time. I'm definitely a very proud mama.

I had no idea he could count until today when he did all the way to 10, and knew about 1/2 of the numbers on the board. Holly cow! I know everyone else's kid can do this like a yr ago but it was big news for us.
I am so so proud of DS lately. Between his preservative free diet & new medication, he has been consistently good at school for 3 weeks in a row. Before that, we probably had a total of 21 really good days the rest of the school year. He is doing so well & I am just so proud.
DD is being a stinker lately, but she is doing really well with helping to clean up the gignormous messes she has been making. And she has finally learned that kitty does not love her and has stopped trying to pick him up.
I'm really proud about Sara learning the states. She knows all most all of them by name and what they look like. She also knows where they are on the map. If I point to any state and say "What state is that?" she knows it. The thing that blows me away is she learned them all in a week.

Love this whole post but I giggled when I read this! So stinkin' cute!

This is a great idea. i'm totally tearing up over all of your babies.
Just in the last week or so, DS has been working on a few words. I'm sure it's one of those things where I am the only one who understands him, but I love hearing him say them.

DS is learning to get through longer days at preschool/daycare when I need to work. At first he had meltdowns because he was used to me picking him up right after lunch and would start crying many times throughout the day. But last time, the teachers reported that he did great, and when I picked him up he said, "I no cry at school. I talked." My baby's definitely growing up!
1. Starting a nap routine that includes a short nap in the morning and a longer one in the afternoon. In the longer nap she might wake up, but then all she needs is a change and a bottle and she's back out.
2. We've been averaging about 5-6 hours straight a night for sleep. Then she'll wake up for a change and feeding, then go down about 45 mins later for about 2 hours.
Q's working on walking. He'll walk almost anywhere if you take his hand. It's so cute. He's also mastered crawling up and down stairs and is working on walking up and down them.
**Trying so hard to live in the moment and not miss my little boy while so looking forward to him running around on his own. **
I'm really proud of how well she took not having a binky anymore. And, I'm really proud of how well she's doing in her pre-school.
For Addison:
Ditto the binky thing, since she got the short end of the stick and had to give it up as well. And I'm really proud of how well she does independent play. Also, her talking, she is cracking me up with her words (like 3 of them) these days.
I'm absolutely in love with his personality and am so proud of the sense of humor he's been developing. He says/does funny things all the time that just crack us up. Even though, most of the time, his favorite punchline is still "butt" or "caca" he makes us laugh all the time.
Oh yeah, and he named his new stuffed bear "Tootie." Which is a word we commonly use for passing gas. He says he has a long name that's "Butthead Flooper Toots Burrito." Not that I'm particularly proud of that but... it's a step up from the days when he named his teddy bear "Teddy," his tiger "Tiger" and his elephant "Elephant," I guess.
O is a wonderful eater. There is nothing that he won't eat. Or try. I am very, very thankful for that.
I am so proud that he is finally crawling. He started three weeks ago and has already gotten a lot better! Right now he does the commando crawl, but he's been working hard to get the hands/knees crawl going.

I am so proud of A being more assertive. It has taken us a long time to get to this point and I can't help but love every 'no' and 'no thank you' answer that he gives.
For so long I always thought of S being the 'little brother'. He does so much to make sure his bro is happy, feeling ok, getting what he needs and lending a helpful hand. We've seen quite a bit of fighting and not so much of the boys playing together or being that licing towards each other. It's really nice to see the protective side of S come out.
Re: What are you really proud of your kiddo for right now?
For two things:
1) Eating pork chops last night.
2) Basically self starting the potty training process. We are on day 6 and its going great!
