1 Month Old

Colin is one month old now, and doing well.  Patrick seems to be adjusting well to having Colin in the house.  He still have his moments and I'm just not sure what to do anymore.  Patrick doesn't seem to respond to any type of discipline.  This morning Patrick hit Colin with the broom while I was cleaning up breakfast.  Colin now has some cuts/scratched on his nose and Patrick got a time out.

Colin is finally eating (well almost) on a regular schedule of every 3 hours.  He still has times of wanting to eat every hour, usually at night before bed.  He is sleeping great; usually goes to bed around 10 or 11 and only wakes up once during the night.

We started cloth diapers with Colin; they make his butt very big.  I bought a few extra covers as Patrick is still in cloth diapers right now.  I'm hoping to potty train Patrick soon and will then use the covers I already have for Colin.  I bought some training pants for Patrick and hope they come soon.  They are made by Best Bottoms just like my cloth diapers.  Any tips for potty training?

Potty training and discipline both - be consistent....and that's super hard. If you say you're going to... then you HAVE to do it, or they learn that we don't mean what we say. I used pull-ups with Josh at night, but we never really did training pants. I remember thinking it was really hard and I was never going to be able to train him...but it did work eventually. You have to stick to it and be willing to change lots of clothes! :) Deal with the discipline stuff now or it will come back to bite you later! LOVE YOU ALL!
