3 Weeks

Colton is 3 weeks old today!  It is hard to believe that it has already been 3 weeks.  He is still a great baby...he eats and sleeps, although for the past couple of days, he has started staying awake for about 2 hours or so.  He just looks around and loves his play mat, with all the colorful toys on it.  He still loves his swing, not to sure about the bouncy seat...he will sit in it for a few minutes and then he is done with it!  He absolutely loves his baths on the nights he gets them.  Oh and he has lots of people taking care of him, especially his big sisters.  They want to help with and I do mean everything!  We are enjoying our baby boy so much!  We have such a wonderful family!

Gracie still likes to pet Colton, even though we correct her every time she says it.  She also says that he has spit out all the time, not spit up...spit out.  I guess to a 2 1/2 year old that makes much more sense.  She hasn't been jealous at all but she does like to sit with me and help feed him.  She is potty training this week and she has done okay, but I am serious about it this time.  There are no more excuses...I am not pregnant and miserable anymore, so we are going to get this done this time.  She did poop in the potty this morning but she was upset that she got some in her panties.  She wasn't quite fast enough on letting me know.  She has wet several pair of panties and I do punish her when she does, because she knows what she is doing.  I guess we will see how she does!

Hayden as always is a huge help.  She is enjoying Colton and being at home for the Summer.  She is such a sweetie and will do anything to be like Mommy.  The only bad thing is that she also throws fits like Mommy too, which I may have to work on a little bit.  We are working on site words this Summer since she will be reading next year.  That is hard to believe, she is growing up so fast.   It seems like yesterday she was my newborn baby!
