Jackson's 4 Month Appt & Big Boy Announcement

TeamBlueMama x2

Jackson had his 4 month checkup yesterday and is 15lbs 14oz (62%), 27.25 inches long (97%) and his head circ is 17inches (69%). So we have now graduated to the convertible carseat as the limit is only 26 inches on his carrier....I'm so sad to say that that infant carrier will never be used again, I'll never see another one of my babies in it ever again! Gosh that's hard to swallow for me right now! But at the same time I'm loving watching him grow and smile and grab his toys and roll everywhere and learn new things every day. It's funny to compare his and Drake's stats and milestones from each stage too, Drake at 4 months was 18lbs and 26.5 inches...so chubbier and shorter! LOL Jackson has been having cereal since 3.5 months and the doc yesterday said we can start fruits & veggies now too...so I'll have to pick some up soon.

 Also it's been over a month now but I kept forgetting to post, but Drake is fully POTTY TRAINED!! It's so nice to not have to buy pullups as well as diapers for Jack! I'm lovin it!

 TFLMS ladies! We were on vacation a couple weeks ago and I've been trying to catch up on all the posts I missed! Hope everyone is well!

Yeah we went from size 7 pampers (cause he outgrew them pretty much) to the pullups so he could learn how to pull them up and down like undies, I know some people say to skip them but we took baby steps and he would pee and poop in them but each time he did I reminded him how it was yucky and we have to do those things in the potty and not in our pants and would bring him into the bathroom each time and dump the poop in the toilet and I would flush...and said when you do it in the potty then you can flush (he loves to flush the toilet) lol So he eventually got it I think partly cause of that (stickers and M&M's never worked for us) and when he was dry for a week in the pullups, going potty consistently, we went to undies and pullups for nap and bedtime ( I told him we only have enough pullups for nap and bed times lol) and he wakes up dry now and goes pee when he wakes up so no accidents in bed, it's great! I must say though I HATED PT'ing! I had made 2 attempts before at 2 and 2.5 and the 3rd was the charm at 3yo. So now I truly believe that they are ready when they are ready and not to push it, but hopefully Jackson will just watch his brother and get it sooner than Drake did! LOL Anyhow sorry to ramble ;oP

Wonderful news all around!  We are working on the potty training thing with Jakob as he is starting to express interest now (as you can probably tell from my siggy - which I changed before reading your post, funny!).  It's no picnic, for sure!
