Ok- Lately I have felt like we are getting absolutely NOWHERE! We have been trying the cry out thing in the middle of the night with Brady so he will stop waking up at night... Well, Sunday night he screamed in his bed for an hour and fourty five minutes- then I just finally gave him a bottle... I guess his will was stronger than mine. I haven't made him cry out since- I just can't afford to loose that kind of sleep at night.
My only fear about this is that he will just get into a habit of waking up to eat at night when he doesn't really need to anymore. I don't know what to do with this little kid- Luke slept through the night at 6 weeks and never looked back.
Then- yesterday I decided to start potty training Luke. He did ok yesterday evening & today at school, but as soon as he got home from school it all went downhill. He had five accidents in an hour and it wasn't because I didn't take him to the potty enough- I did- he just wouldn't go.
So, we are back in diapers...
I just feel like these two things are completely out of my control & I hate that. I can usually do pretty good once I get my mind set on something, but on these things I feel like a failure.

Luke & Brady Meeting Owen
Luke meeting Brady for the first time
Me & Owen
Owen is my sweet new baby boy! He is so laid back and easy going. Being the baby of two big brothers can be a little rough at times, but he handles it well and doesn't fuss much about their sweet "love pats". I can't wait to see how his little personality developes.
Me & Luke
Luke is 100% ALL BOY! He loves sports. "Hutball", basketball, & baseball are his favorites. He is very rough! He likes to run- race- ride his scooter- play on his fort- etc. He also has a very sweet side too that I just love!
Me & Brady
Brady is always good for a smile. Don't let that sweet smile fool you though, if he doesn't get his way he will quickly let you know. He's definately a momma's boy too, I like to call him my little shadow.

be easy on yourself--we have all been there in one way or another.
consider that he may be teething. i know tristan slept thru the night early, but anytime a tooth was near, he was up crying for long bouts. just keep trying the cry method and check on him periodically. it will work!
also, you are ahead of me on potty training, BUT i hear with boys especially, it takes a lot of time and patience! just be diligent and annoying! ask him more than you think you should...i think they pee in weird spurts so they need to go more often.
mainly, just hang in there...you always know what you are doing!
