Potty Time / Giggles

 We started potty training Alex about a week ago and we are off to a very good start. The sticker chart was thrown out the door on day 1 but rewarding Alex with treats seems to be doing the trick. We started Alex in big boy undies last Friday and by noon he was on his fifth pair but he was learning. He had no accidents on Saturday and he had just one accident on Sunday and Monday.  He's even been pooping on the potty since last Friday and hasn't missed a day yet!  Alex is still learning when to tell us he has to go potty but, for now, we tell him when it's time to go potty and he will usually go (sometimes needing the treat to really entice him)! Tuesday was his first day at daycare so I was a little nervous for him but he did great. Sharon has been working with him too and reported no accidents all week. We still use pull ups at night but we're now accident free since Monday!  I couldn't be prouder:)

Making himself comfortable:)

Big boy undies!

Why is there a plant in our bathroom?  Alex was notorious for disappearing and pooping in the bushes outside so Daddy wanted to give him the same type of privacy indoors.  Whatever works!  Whenever we go to check up on Alex, he tells us to go away:)

Seanie laughed for me for the first time on Sunday. It was two hearty laughs in a row and, of course, when I ran to get my camera, he had stopped and wouldn't do it again. He usually likes his tummy time but has yet to roll. He seems too comfortable to try. He has been sucking on his fists like crazy lately. He's still not a big fan of the binkie except when he is hungry. We're now up to 5oz of formula and we're only getting up once during the night for a feeding. Yay!  Sean is looking bigger to me every day. I just can't get enough of his snuggles and cuddly cheeks:)

Cuddles for Daddy:)

Can't get enough of that yummy fist!

My two precious boys!
