Henry is four weeks old!

My little peanut. He's still such a little sweetie. When he stretches out, he's long and lean, but he prefers to be all cuddled up like this.

Not a fan of tummy time...

But definitely a fan of his big brother. Well, I think he's starting to be aware of Wyatt. :)

This is how I feel after the past few days. Wiped out! Henry doesn't care to sleep for long stretches, and he likes to eat at least every two hours if not sooner. At least he is generally happy or easy to figure out. He has his fussy moments, but usually it's just that he wants to eat and eat and eat... The potty training with an infant thing was not the smartest idea. However, Wyatt is making considerable progress towards being potty trained - today he woke up dry from his nap and then went in the potty right after. He went potty a few more times in the chair, had a handful of accidents, and he went poo on the potty, well also near the potty too... :) We'll see how he does tonight. Yesterday I was really frustrated, and even this morning. However, I was encouraged after this afternoon. Potty training is intense! :) Wyatt really is trying - I think today he has finally got a hold of what it feels like when he needs to go.

Well, sleep is a luxury right now, so as soon as Henry eats again, I am off to bed! Good night!

Way to go Mommy and Wyatt! It is hard work learning how to go potty. It is definitely a frustrating and rewarding task. Keep going, you will make it!
(by the way, Amber and Ashley appreciated the detailed description of the potty training) Ha! Ha! :)
Henry looks really good. We will have to find time to come over and see him again before he gets too big. I am glad that he will be coming along to the wild northern frontier. :)

The potty training will be worth in the end. Seriously, I am just so totally impressed that you even attempted it with a newborn. It was all I could do just to survive those first few weeks. We were lucky to eat and have clean clothes!!!!
