Hmmm....This could be an update on the 1st Quarter of 2009

Well oh well, where do I begin? This is Brad writing, so there is no telling what my brain will decide to type. Quick rundown...here ya go, so strap in and hold on!

January: Jennifer started tennis practice with the high school tennis teams. She is coaching the boys and girls tennis team at Sheffield High School (Go Bulldogs). Jennifer also stayed overnight in the hospital with our pastor and his wife. Water broke, baby was born, and belief it or not, it wasn't an Oglesby. Wahoo! At this point, Nathan is crawling around and Nicholas continues to ask for poptarts and milk in the middle of the night.

February: Brad travels with work twice this month. Both time, he manages to miss flights coming home, thus having to get rerouted to either Huntsville or Birmingham. Nothing like the cost of a one-way rental car. Thank goodness work pays for that. Jennifer is now prepped and ready for the first tennis matches. Nathan has several bouts with ear infections, respiratory infections, etc. At one point, Nathan was on a breathing machine every four hours. However, it just so happens that Nathan gets sick when Brad goes out of town. How convenient. Yeah right!

Nicholas is starting to understand going to the bathroom, but continues to like the convenience of a diaper.

March: And finally, we've made it to March. Sheffield won their first tennis match in three years. I credit that to their awesome coach this year. Nicholas continues to work on his vocabulary and starts to share his milk with Nathan. Nathan is almost to the point of walking. However, he will be a much better eater than Nicholas. All three boys (Brad, Nicholas, and Nathan) got haircuts last weekend. This was Nathan's first official haircut. We are currently preparing for Nathan's first birthday next weekend. We are going with a circus theme, so that should make things interesting. I'm still trying to figure out where I can rent an elephant at. HAH!

Anyways, do we have any readers out there? We haven't done a great job at update, but oh well, we try.

Nicholas used the potty!

So tonight Nicholas used the potty for the very first time! He has not sat on the potty in several weeks (not really sure what that was about), but tonight he said he had to go potty. I asked him if he wanted to sit on his potty and he said yes. He made me take all his clothes off, not just the diaper. He wouldn't sit down at first because he saw some little piece of fuzz inside the potty, but after some cleaning he decided to sit down. He sat there for a minute and then started to go! He got soooo excited when the potty started to play music. (It is one of those musical potties that has sensors in the bottom. Wouldn't it be funny if all potties played music when you went? :) Anyway, after he finished he said he wanted to go again and hear the music. Of course he didn't have to go again, but he sat down and tried. I asked if he wanted to call Grandma and Grandpa to tell them the good news. He got on the phone and said, "I went potty. Music, music." I had to explain about the musical potty, but they were excited too! Let's just hope the excitement on Nicholas' part continues...
