Nalu went for his 2 month check-up, got 5 shots and his rotavirus oral dose.
These are his stats:
weight-12.1 lbs, 75th percentile
height-23 inches, 60th percentile
He is pretty compariable to Ash at this age.
I am going to start having him sleep in the crib this week and see how that goes.
I would imagine it will be much more comfortable AND spacious than the basinet.
Plus, I am excited to put up his new bedding!! (Pics to come)

Ash is still potty training and doing pretty well. He isn't to the point of telling me he needs to go, but he will go on the potty if I remember to make him go regularly. He has yet to go poop in the toilet again, since that first day. Now I just find a nice surprise in his pull-up when we try and go potty, or we smell it sooner. I haven't been brave or patient enough to have him in underwear yet. I think HE needs to be controlling it, not ME b4 we try underwear.

*Note to self-don't start potty training AND transition beds in the same week!

transition

We have finally done it!

The boys got their EXTRA LARGE (full-over-full) bunkbeds,

now we are just working on getting Ash to sleep in it!

The first night I wasn't home, and Quinn was left

to put the boys to bed. Well Ash wouldn't go

right to sleep, so he gave up and put him back in the crib.

The next day I layed by him at nap-time,

for about 20 minutes and he did fall asleep in

his BIG BOY bed. Hurray!!

That night he did go to sleep again in his new bed, but didn't

actually fall asleep until after 10pm. I went in several times

to check on him, only to find him talking to himself,

singing, playing with the shadows on the wall,

and various other things.

I got so anxious to do the bunkbeds

for the boys, and put Nalu in the crib

(which hasn't happened quite yet),

that I forgot how much more effort and patience this takes.

Much easier when we could just plop Ash in the crib,

where he never tried to get out, and would eventally just

go to sleep all on his own.

I know... its the new found freedom!!

But this is going to take a whole lot of patience on my part,

especially since (starting tomorrow) QUinn will be teaching

4 nights a week, so I get to do the bedtime routine

BY MYSELF with 3 kids AND a fussy baby.

I haven't found any bedding I like yet,

that doesn't cost a fortune,

so for now its just sheets & old blankets.
(I am looking for some surfboard/tropical type

bedding-with blue & green colors (even just a comforter

would be great) cuz I already have wall-mural decor

in that style and color,

SO let me know if you see anything I might like.

Now Ame is jealous the boys have new BIGGER beds.

Always want what we don't have right?!
