Big Changes

Sorry we have been MIA lately. There has been lots going on at our house. Ethan has been cutting teeth. He is way behind on teeth and we are glad to see some progress. But, he is in a lot of pain. Only two have broken through. It looks as if there are 3-4 more teeth coming. Ethan won't really let us get close to his mouth! And, here is a shot of sleeping Ethan

Ethan has discovered the joy of playing in the pantry with the paper products! He has also learned to close himself in the closet and then he laughs.

Perhaps the biggest and best change at home has been Benjamin finally going poo poo on the potty. He has been pee peeing on the potty for about 2 months now with no accidents. Finally this week he poo pooed. Benjamin was so proud of himself -- he also enjoyed all the praise we gave him (the blue M & Ms didn't hurt either). Even Ethan clapped for Benjamin.

And, last but not least, Benjamin is now in a toddler bed. At some point in the next few months, Ethan will be moved to Benjamin's old crib with rail taken off. Both Benjamin and Ethan love Benjamin's new bed -- they climb in and out of it over and over. We have not had a single problem with Benjamin getting out of bed -- though we know that it is coming soon!

Brian is taking the end of the week off from work and we are doing a staycation -- look for more pictures to come soon from our staycation adventures!
