Fam Pics

We finally took some professional family photos-first time since Elijah was 3 months old! To get the boys warmed up, they took pictures of them alone first, then Mommy & Daddy, then brothers, then finally the fam!! These were taken Sept. 6.

Seth is Potty Training!

A couple weeks before school started, Seth ran out of diapers and I decided I was done buying diapers! So we started Seth is pull-ups, and tried putting him on the potty. He wouldn't go when he was on the potty, but would go right after he got off, and soon he started going right before we put him on the potty so I knew the stinker knew how to control his bladder. Over the past three weeks he'll have a great day here and there, but nothing really consistent. Then the past week or so he'd do great at home, but wouldn't really try at daycare. Well, the past 2 days he's been dry all day at daycare!! I am super excited-Elijah didn't potty train until 3 1/2, and that was because I had it and took away his diapers/pull-ups over Christmas break last year and did 3 day potty training with him (he didn't train completely, but it gave him enough of a start that by March he was pretty much trained). So potty training both boys in one year is very exciting, and having Seth decide to train on his own is even more exciting! Only problem is that so far Seth only likes to go on the potty chair, so we'll see what happens when we're out and about. Elijah never went on the potty, and only used the kids seat on the toilet for a couple weeks before he decided he didn't like that either, so this is very different in many ways! Keep up the great work, Seth!!

This was the first time we've done professional pictures of the boys together since Elijah's second Birthday! Elijah wasn't the most cooperative child but Seth did great!
