I think I'm going to buy Sesame Street Live tickets for this weekend! Just saw them online. I think Vaylie will get a total kick out of it. And SIL just called, so they might go along too! Fun times. (OT- we were talking about when to have the next kid, and she was like, "You should have another now, that way I won't want one for a while..." 
I was like, I was just saying that YOU need to have one!) Too funny.
DMickey- no her crib isn't convertible. Just a plain ol' crib. I think we will get her a toddler bed, then buy a bunk bed that can be split into 2 twin beds- that way, no matter what the next kid is, we'll have a bed. And if they share a room they can be bunked, and if they get separate rooms, then we can take the bunks apart and each will have a twin bed. AND HOW EXCITING that Alexander went in the potty!
Vaylie will sit on it, but that is it. And sometimes she won't even do that. 
We're slowly working on it though. And I bribe her with stickers.
Kelly- you are gorgeous, and seriously- no one will ever notice 10 lbs. Unless you only weighed 5 lbs to begin with.
They will notice you looking adorable in your strapless black dress, your gorgeous smile, and your cute-as-a-button little man, who is totally worth that stubborn 10 lbs, right? 
As for weight- I am at almost 240.
I weighed 230 when I got pregnant. The day I went to give birth I weighed 241. The day I came home from the hospital I weighed about 220ish. And it has climbed back up in that 2 years. So, one major goal for me is to lose at least 40 lbs before I get pregnant with the next one.
jennyL- I would think animals would be easy to find, too! Hope you find something that works out!

And you're right Becky....my little guy is well worth some extra weight!!! I keep telling myself, at least the dress is black, right? 
Brady grabs at his diaper right before he needs to go - so we bought a Baby Bjorn potty. But, nothing yet. He comes over to me, grabs his diaper, and by the time I whisk him into the bathroom and take off his clothes, he has usally already gone. I figure maybe this summer when the weather is warmer and he is wearing less layers it will be easier! Thanks for the birthday wish! 
I had to take him out of the store. Then tonight he has been screaming if told no and then again throws himself down. As soon as the tantrum is over he tries to do the same thing we just stopped him from doing. If he is like this now, WTH are the "Terrible Two's" going to be like??? Any advice?
She kept saying, "Aw, baby." And we bought the Baby Bjorn potty too- Vaylie picked it out last weekend. (We have another one that she doesn't seem to like to much). I tried to get her to pick the pink one, but she insisted on white. SO- the next morning I got it out and put it in the bathroom, and what does she say?
