Milestone Updates.

Jadon - We're still trying to potty train him. We haven't been as persistent and consistent as we should be in trying to sit him on the potty. Sometimes he'll tell us he has to go 'poo-poo' and we'll ask him if he wants to sit on the potty but he doesn't so we won't push the issue. Sometimes we'll entice him with a toy and he'll want to and he'll sit but he won't poop. Other times he'll tell us he has to go poop and he'll want to sit on the potty but the thing is he has just gone poop in his diaper. Then too add to the pressure, we plan to pre-register him in preschool for fall of 2006. He needs to be trained by then and I'm thinking "this is going to be a challenge." Well we got 10-11 months to go so hopefully the transition will be quick.

Natalie - Over the past week, she has been getting up on all fours and has been rocking back and forth. Fiona first saw her doing this in her bed. This is not only important to us in that it's a milestone but also she is showing muscle strength improvement. It seems that all kids like to practice during their naptime or bedtime. I guess they get bored.

Vanessa - She is going through several milestones at the same time. She is crawling really well now. She's getting quicker and she's going after the fan, outlets, any thing remotely dangerous. She is also able to get into a sitting position on her own as well. Also her first tooth is coming in. It's a lower one and only a single one seems to be breaking out at this point. I think it will look really cute if she has just one tooth sticking out.
