Chan's slowly transitioning to the school environment. He seems to be taking shorter naps there which I assume is because he's still adjusting to the noises and such. He's taking his bottles just fine so I think he's finally getting used to that. He gave Nana a hard time with them last week. Strangely he didn't poop for four days after starting at Faye's so I don't know if that's his new schedule or if he just wasn't comfortable enough. Regardless he didn't seem fussy so I wasn't too worried. Apparently Esme is very protective of baby Chan when he's at school with her. She's constantly reminding them that he's her brother and tells everyone how to take care of him. Our bossy little girl!
Chan's really enjoying batting at objects in front of him these days and putting his hands in his mouth. He's still working on getting his thumb in his mouth but it's not the most comfortable since he still clenches his fists shut most of the time. He rolled over weeks ago but is slow to do it again, however he still enjoys his tummy time. We're still working on his sleep routine too. He was waking twice at night to feed but we're working on changing that to only once. Now when he wakes up around 12-2am I just flip him to his stomach and he goes right back to sleep till at least 4am and that's when he nurses. Maybe soon we can stretch that to a 6am feed and we'll be all good! He continues to use his voice and is practicing his loud yell at random times. It really surprises us when he does it and it makes Esme laugh.
Esme's also growing up a lot since baby Chan's arrived. She continues to love singing and reading her books. By far her favorite song is Happy Birthday and she sings it regularly and always inserts a different persons name. Recently she's really been into imaginary play and make believe. We love to hear the stories she tells us. She likes to pick out her clothes and shoes in the morning and put them on herself. And most of the time she's got it right with just a little help from someone. This summer she's had fun eating the food from our backyard - apples, cherry plums and cherry tomatoes. She likes helping daddy pick them and popping them right into her mouth.
Potty training was a complete success too since she was just ready. I think we've had less than 5 accidents total since we started which is great. What amazed us was how she stopped peeing during her nap time completely and at night she still wears a diaper but it's much less soaked in the morning. We're still working on pooping in the toilet though. Right now she asks us for a diaper just to poop in so we're giving her a little more time on that one.
Baby Chan turned 3 months old last week and Esme turned 2 1/2 this week!
It's moments like these that make it all worth it :)
