It actually feels like summer!

I know I haven't blogged in a while, but life sure can be crazy with 2 kids!

We are about to embark once again into the world of potty training Avery. He did so well for 2 weeks and then we weren't home one weekend and it all went away...so I didn't want to push it. He has been telling me A LOT lately that "avery peed" or "avery pooped" so I told him if he can tell me that then he is a big boy and can use the potty! To my amazement he went flying into the potty this morning and went in it...and proceeded out with his "treasure" and wanting 2 of "jo's candies"(lifesavers). so he got them...maybe he will FULLY get the concept now.

Quinn is growing like a weed of course. He was 13 lb 11 oz at his 4 month appt. The dr agreed that it was good to stay away from dairy for now and we will revisit it after he is a yr old. oh how i miss my ice cream and cheese! He is also 24 inches long too! we were in a decent routine, but of course as babies go he is completely out of it now...i can't get the kid to take a nap longer than 30 mins now and I can't seem to put a finger on the cause. I usually have to lay down with him and allow him to nurse if that's what he wants to do...ok on somedays but I can't do it everyday. I finally got him to sleep longer today, but it was in our bed and not his crib. I let him cry it out earlier and I felt like a terrible mommy, but even that only lasted about 30 mins.

and of course now that I"m typing this he is awake...so there is a small update! I will try to get on to blog more for all of my 3 blog readers! lol

sounds like things are going well... glad to hear Avery is ready to potty train and is picking it up on his own. Hope you and Quinn can figure out the nap thing soon
