Speaking?

Standing unsupported for several seconds at a time and gets very excited :)

Has been saying "Mama" and "Dada" for a couple weeks but not clearly associated with us...probably just a sound exercise at this point.

Apoocalypse 2016

Michael's wake-up cry was a little different this morning so I got in quicker without getting breakfast ready and everything. I was greeted by a sight that shall haunt me until I can thoroughly embarrass Michael with the photos... Michael had removed his PJs and diaper and thrown them out of his crib. Michael and his crib were smeared with a thick layer of fecal matter. I didn't even stop to take a picture, I grabbed Michael and as...gingerly as possible carried him to the bathtub for his first, second, and third baths of the day. The water was cold by the time we were done so the last bath was a quick one. Fortunately he was happy to sit in his pen and play with his toys while I spent the next hour and a half with Lysol wipes scrubbing his crib clean and throwing away the soiled mattress sheet. After an abrasive, cold shower for myself, Michael finally got breakfast and things were back to normal. I vowed never to use button on PJs again but then an old friend on Facebook ...

Only 2.5 years to update...

Potty Training????????

So we've had Michael's toilet in the bathroom for a bit now and I've been sitting him on it before his bath just for familiarization. Over the past couple of weeks he started to be getting the idea so I started giving him bubbles in his bath whenever he peed in his toilet. Now, for the past few days, he doesn't want me to hold him on the toilet and he visibly tries to use it so I think, once the words start coming, potty training (knock on wood) shouldn't be too challenging. He's just got to be able to tell us when he needs to go and it's off to the races. I'm excited. He has been saying "bubble" for the past few days, largely associated with his expectation for getting them in his bath now that he at least tries to use the toilet every time he takes a bath...I was only giving him bubbles when he actually peed but it got so obvious that he was trying that I didn't want to effectively punish him just because he was all dried up... :P He...
