Saturday, Alex turned 4 months old…and I celebrated by being gone all day at a Scrapbooking Day. It was good for everyone. James got to spend time with the boys, and came up with a better way to potty train Will. I'll let him share, but I will say, when I came home, Will would yell, "I have to go pee on the potty!" and run off to pee in the potty. That is a BIG change from yesterday. James is our potty training pro! (But I know he WOULD NOT like it if I said "I think I'll leave all the potty training up to him!"Laughing) Alex saw me come in the room this evening and gave me a HUGE smile, which was sweet to come home to. And I feel I accomplished a great deal on the scrapbook & had fun scrapping with my friend Krisha!

Alex's biggest accomplishments this month have occurred in the last week or so. He is suddenly turning over from his tummy to his back, and he has discovered his thumb (as documented in the pictures below).  He really likes that thumb. And he looks so cute with it in his mouth. Many people have commented on his long fingers. With his thumb in his mouth, the fingers almost seem to cover his mouth and nose.  He loves to sit in his Play Center/Ex-a-Saucer and look at us, look at himself in the mirror and bounce.  He is getting up one to two times a night, something I would like to decrease (of course!). He continues to smile and laugh a great deal. We continue to thank God for him daily.
