0 days old! and poop in the potty!

Alex is today officially due! So, that makes Alex's corrected/adjusted age 0 days old! It only took 6 weeks and 4 days to get here so it's a big step! It's still hard to believe he was so early but we are happy he is here and is really doing well. (now, if he would just sleep... it's so hard to sleep when you are refluxing like crazy and trying to poop and/or pass gas all night!).

Speaking of poop - we are still very much working on the potty training thing with Donny. He still isn't really interested and until yesterday 2/20 he had never pooped on the potty. Well, Don caught him in the office that morning squatting down obviously trying to do his business in a rather away place so Don scooped him up and plopped him down on the potty where we had our first successful attempt at pooping on the potty. :) We celebrated with a present and some birthday cake. He loves birthdays (and mom and dad love that we can make the kid super happy with just a slice of cake -- well, all he actually eats is the icing but nonetheless...). Yes, it is silly to get so excited over something so little but if he can actually potty train, he can move up a class at daycare/school. Until then he is stuck in the 2 year old class.

In other funny news, we caught Donny the other day playing with a toy funnel he got in a science kit. He was putting it on his chest. We asked him what he was doing when he told us he was getting milk for Alex. I guess he's seen mommy pumping too much... At any rate, we did catch it on video (though he was much more shy about it on video... I think he figured us out) and we'll try to post it before long.

Love, Steph
