I have been thinking/feeling guilt about the address of our family blog. WeBeTheSmith3.blogspot.com. Well, we were the "Smith 3" when I created this blog, but we have gained another sweet baby, so now we are the Smith 4. But I don't really feel like changing my blog, because I like to look back on things that we did over the last 2 years. So, I guess I will just continue on, feeling a twinge of guilt every time I post something, as if I am not recognizing dear, sweet Wade. Speaking of Wade, I re-read my last entry, and remembered I never did post a follow-up. It turns out he was so cranky/sleepless because the poor kid had an ear infection and bronchiolitis! So, after TWO antibiotic injections, and a couple of weeks of breathing treatments, Wade is back to his normal self! He has been sleeping much better, too. On a "typical" night (I put that in quotes because, really, is there such a thing as "typical" with a new baby?) he will go to sleep at about 8, and wake up about 6 hours later to eat, and he goes right back to sleep for another 4-6 hours. Wade is a WAY better sleeper than Owen was. Owen didn't sleep through the night until I stopped nursing him to sleep when he was 15 months old. (Before then he was waking up an average of 3-6 times a night. UGH)
Speaking of my big boy, guess who is POTTY TRAINED?? He has done such a great job with it! He will maybe have one accident a week. I am so proud of him! He loves wearing big boy underwear. I will say that if we are going to be away from home for more than an hour, then we will have him wear a pull-up, but we still take him to the bathroom and he rarely has an accident in his pull-ups. I am SO happy because we were pretty much over buying diapers for 2 kids!! I promise that next time I post, I will post some pictures!
