Pillow Pets

We are VERY excited to announce that Weston is finally walking!!! He is 14 months old and finally decided hey I can do this. I am going to give cousin Ellie all the credit. We have been trying to get him to walk for about 3 months and he just did not care. We spent some time with cousin Ellie in June and then in July we were around her for a couple of days in Colorado (which was awesome thanks Bonita and Elena!!). He would take a step or two and then give up and start to crawl. Alicia came over on July 21 and Weston saw cousin Ellie again and that was it. He started walking and has not looked back. We are so proud of our walking boy.

This past weekend we were invited to California to camp on the beach with Shane and her kids. I decide that we should go to at least a little bit of church on Sunday. So off we went. They said the closing prayer and we all said our Amens and we here this little voice say Amen. It was Weston, he had said his first word! We have such a holy little boy.

After coming back from California our house was a mess. Five loads of laundry, camping stuff and miscellaneous stuff from the trip was EVERYWHERE. Yesterday I was doing my best to catch up and clean everything. I told Elizabeth that she could watch some cartoons IF she would help me pick up her shoes and a couple of other little things. Since she loves to watch cartoons she did it and I turned the tv on. About a half hour later she comes up to me and tells me she really wants a pillow pet. I have never even heard of what a pillow pet so I turn to the internet. Elizabeth comes over to look at them with me and tells me it is the unicorn pillow pet that she really wants. I tell her that I will talk to her daddy about it and I was not going to buy it right now. (the only place you can currently purchase them is online) I said something about it to Keith tonight and he said that she had been talking to him about it all day. She is almost night time potty trained and I think all she needs is a little incentive and she will be there. So we decide that if she can keep her bed dry for a week then she can have one. Tonight as she was getting ready for bed she told me that she did not want to wear a pull up because she was not going to pee the bed so she can get her pillow pet.
Me: Why do you want a pillow pet?
Elizabeth: So I don't pee the bed.
Me: No, why do you want a pillow pet as a reward?
Elizabeth: Pillow Pet it folds into a full size pillow and then it turns back into a cuddly animal. Playtime sleep time
Watch the following link... I really wonder how many times that commercial played in the half hour she was watching tv.
