Addie's weekly photo
Cooper's weekly photo
Balance Beam: Addison's newest thing is to take all of her books and line them up. After lining them up, she walks across them. She calls it her "balance beam".
Getting changed: We used to have a huge issue every time we would change Addie's clothes. Ever since she was a baby, she HATED getting dressed wether it was changing a diaper or just putting a shirt over her head. It seems to have even gotten worse as she got older and she acted as though she had a phobia about putting shirts over her head! This week, we started paying a little more attention to discouraging the behavior and encouraging her to be patient about getting dressed. We are teaching her to count 1-2-3 and then the shirt is on. Although I can't say we are where we want to be with her changing fits, we are definitely making progress :)
Potty Training: As most parents know, potty training can be tough. Addison has been such a good kid about it all. We still haven't made a ton of progress at night and during naps, but Addison has (at most) 1 or 2 accidents per day. There are some days that we don't have any accidents too. I'm thrilled to be making progress and hoping we won't be buying any more diapers for her.
All about Cooper
Sleeping: Although I can't say he's "sleeping" through the night, Cooper has gone an entire week of no mid-night meals. We put Coop to bed around 7 or 8 every night, he will wake up a few times and cry a bit but eventually puts himself back to bed. Usually, he won't get back up until around 7 or 8 in the morning! It's difficult, but a few nights I've had to turn the monitor down in order to give him the opportunity to put himself back to bed. Fingers crossed that his sleep patterns continue to improve!
Weaning off Prevacid: Coop has gone a few weeks without spitting up and has been in a really good mood lately. Now that we are seeing better sleeping habits, we decided to start weaning him off of his Prevacid. On the 18th, we brought him down to 1/2 a pill once a day instead of 1/2 twice a day. If we don't see an increase in spit-ups or moodiness, then we will hopefully try to wean him off completely.
