4 Weeks Old

I feel like there are so many things I have wanted to blog, but just haven't taken the time. So, I am going to tell you what I can think of right off the top of my head. First, a big deal ... I have not changed a poopy toddler diaper in almost a week! Ellie has gone poop in the potty every day for almost a week, and it's GREAT! We are still working on the pee, but again, I am not going full out on this whole thing as I don't have the time/energy, but we are moving in the right direction for sure!!! Cole is finally starting to spread out his feedings, so we are at 2.5-3 hours from start to start instead of the 2 hour mark which was keeping me landlocked in the house as he feeds for around 45 minutes. Last night was a good night, only 1 time getting up in the middle of the night, but for the most part it's been 2 times, so still not bad. We are still working on what is best for him in terms of sleeping swaddled, on his tummy, etc. It may have been a fluke, but I put him on the floor to have some tummy time last night, and within a minute, he rolled over! Now, I am not surprised as this little guy is STRONG! He holds his head up like a pro and his legs are freakishly strong! Also, Mark and I unofficially measured him last night and he has grown almost an inch and a half in 4 weeks! No wonder he isn't chubbing up yet, he's growing UP instead! Well, the little one is awake next to me and big sister will be waking up from her nap anytime soon, I will update more later, but it's amazing how after 4 weeks life is seeming a little more normal and I think I can handle this 2-kid thing! :o)
