Two Months and Pooping

Like my title? =) Read further if I've peeked your interest....


Noel's two month stats are 10lbs 12 oz (50th percentile) and 24 inches long (90th percentile), and hair that doesn't like to lay down anymore. She is a very good baby and we are loving getting to know her. Some things about Noel I want to remember:

-She is chubbier and a much better nurser/eater than her brother - this has been SUCH a blessing for me. Many of you know I ended up pumping with Aaron for six months because he only wanted bottles.... It is funny to see a double chin and little rolls on her thighs!

-She loves to smile and be talked to. Even in the middle of the night, bleary eyed and starving, she tries to catch my eye and always gives me a big smile. She really likes to be face-to-face with people and talk.

-She is a pretty good sleeper. Generally, goes at least 4-6 hours at a time. Yet, another wonderful blessing when compared to her brother, who seriously did not sleep through the night regularly until he was 3.

-It's been a process, but she finally likes a pacifier and it is making car rides more tolerable, as she doesn't like her car seat =)

-She finds her loud and active older brother very intriguing, but I don't think she likes it when he wakes her up or pokes her eyes.

Now for my pooping story.... Aaron has been fully potty trained since last February, but has always REFUSED to poop on the potty. I will spare you all the long, drawn-out details of how we tried EVERYTHING - suppositories, bribes, ignoring it, etc. He only pooped at home and would just come and ask for a diaper. I decided to tackle it again and finally, he's been doing it. I bet there has never been so much rejoicing in a house over seeing poop in the toilet....

Here is a picture of him on his reward, a scooter....

I am glad to hear things are going so well! And yay for Aaron and his success, we are going through the exact same problem right now with Haylee. Nothing works, she just doesn't care no matter what we try!
