Baby steps

This week has been full of little baby steps for the kiddos! I've been working on potty-training with Emma this week. So far so good! And Colty is now sitting up!!! He still has yet to roll over (he'll be 6 months on the 23rd)... he just is not at ALL interested in rolling over! He's done it once before so I know he can do it...but it was that one and only time. In the meantime he's decided sitting up is his thing. :)
Since Emma's been potty training and we've been recovering from last week's sickness we've been home pretty much all week! The warmer weather (warmer as in.. warmer than last week) has given me the spring cleaning itch! I've been de-cluttering and organizing closets and cabinets. Our house is pretty small without a lot of closets (it was built in the late 1800s). So I've been trying to figure out creative ways to organize and store everything. What are some of your organizing tips? I'd love to hear any ideas you have! We've contemplated moving to a bigger home but have decided to stay put for another year or so. Since we're staying put I have thought of several projects that I want to do to our home... both organizing and decorating projects... I'll do some posts on them whenever they happen! Is anybody else getting the cleaning/redecorating itch?! :)
Babes are waking up... time to sign off! Have a great Thursday!

cute pictures of your little ones! I am also in organizing mode. In the past week I've rearranged things in the kitchen cabinets, Addie's dresser, and Addie's closet! I can't wait to get to Doak's room and closet next. Oh and we are potty training too. How is Emma doing? Doak will go potty every time I put him on but won't tell me until after he has gone. But I think he's still doing pretty well. I keep reminding myself that he's only 2!
