Big Helper

Here are a few pics of Shiloh being a big helper... :)

Ditching the Diapers

We've been potty training Shiloh for what seems like forever - just having him sit on the potty every half hour or so and giving him a treat when he goes. But he knows his diaper is still available to him, and he can always just go in there. So last week I decided to ditch the diapers and put him in his big boy underwear. Then he got sick, so we put it on hold. Today's the day we start again...

Look alike?

We've decided that the boys do look alike. I think Eli favors Izaak a little more than Shiloh does, but there are definately similarities...

Introducing Eli Bryce Toliver

He's Here! I can't believe it. And he's a prefectly healthy baby boy. We are SO thankful. He was born Wednesday, April 30, at 11:53 pm and weighed 5 pounds, 12 ounces, and 19 inches long! Much bigger than anyone was expecting. My labor was a little long (to me, at least). They started me on Pitocin at around 9:30 am, then broke my water right after lunch, hoping that would get things started. Eleven hours later, he finally decided it was time to make an appearance. :) But he was worth every second of bedrest and labor. :)

He had to be on a glucose IV for about a day because he was having a hard time trying to regulate his own blood sugar, but is doing fine now. I have to have him checked again for jaundice, but I think he's ok. Actually, I think he's perfect. :)
