I think I'm ready...the question is..IS ZACH?

Well, I think it's that time... time for potty training! Yeah!!!! I'm really excited to not change diapers anymore, at least Zach's that is. It is getting to be so expensive buying diapers for two kids. I'm also really nervous too. I know it will be hard at first, adjusting to the "I've gotta go right now mommy" while we are checking out in the store and other most inconvenient times, but I think I'm ready! I thought Zach was showing all the signs right around the time Wes was born but that was not going to happen. I needed to wait until I knew I could devote a lot of time to this stage. Now I'm wondering if I've missed the boat.

Does anyone have any tried and true techniques or strategies that they know work for potty training?... potty training a little boy that can barely sit still for me to put his shoes on let alone sit on the pot for a few minutes to go pee. I know this is going to be a challenge for me, although Zach surprises me all the time, maybe this will be a breeze. I need to give this cute little face more credit! I love this little boy!

Deja Vu!

I always thought the boys looked alike, but until I saw these pictures side by side I had no idea how much they really resemble each other. Zach has Wes by a few pounds in the cheeks and thighs and a little more hair, but altogether they look so much alike at this age. I had some major deja vu when I took these photos and remembered that I took some of Zach doing the same thing, when I looked at them I was so surprised. See if you can guess who is who? Answer on the bottom. (Both boys 4 months)

"My little brofer!"

Things have definitely changed between Zach and Wes. The love is growing!!! When Wes first came home Zach was in denial, he wanted nothing to do with the new baby, but now we love our little brother to pieces. Zach now wants to, as he says "hold baby" everyday. And he has to give him kisses on the cheeks everyday too. I'm so glad things have turned around. I was getting worried for a second. Although, I'm not getting too excited because I heard things get worse when the baby starts to get mobile, that's when real jealousy kicks in. I'm enjoying this stage while it lasts! I hope they are such good friends for life!

Major Update! 4 months worth...

Like I said, Wes has not gotten as much attention in the blog world lately, so I'm catching him up. Here are a few pictures of our little peanut over the last couple months. I wish they were more creative like some of you do with the numbers next to them, but let's be honest I'm lucky to even get these ones taken!

How sad...

First let me say that I am doing exactly what I said I wouldn't do. Wes is already getting the second child shaft. I am doing better at taking pictures and videos, but I'm still horrible at posting and blogging. I also just realized that I don't have any pictures of me with my boys. And even sadder, we don't have a family photo. Wes is almost 5 months old, how pathetic. We were playing in Zach's room the other day and Chris had his phone and luckily captured his rare moment. I love my boys! Is it just me or does Wes look like he is catching up with Zach already? I am really going to try and stay on top of things. And once I get my pictures back on my computer I will update you all with some photos of Wes!
