J is getting to be a big(ger) boy lately. As the shot for today gives evidence, his highchair has been taken out of the spot its graced for over a year now and a small booster seat has taken its place. There’s a potty chair in the bathroom and even a stool J carries around to use to see out those higher windows.
He’s even taken to deciding when it’s “na-night” time and walking to the door of his bedroom, waiting to be tucked in. Last night, that was at a sensible 6:30 p.m. Tonight he missed his afternoon nap, so it was an even more sensible 5:15 p.m.
No lie. I’m completely serious.
Anyway, he’s becoming quite the little man. THAT’s why this is the best shot of the week–my little man is growing up just a little. Now, if we could actually get him to use that potty.

Hey, one step at a time, mama. I’m thinking that practically putting himself to bed is something to relish for awhile and quite and accomplishment.

He has, truly, the most beautiful face. What a little handsome man:) And I love that he knows when he wants to go to bed! Some nights I’ll try to rock Lily and she’ll literally throw herself toward her crib. She loves to sleep:)

Wow! 6:30?? 5:15?? I can only dream of that in the this house. It’s 7:30 sharp with no nap. Bummer for me!
J is a doll, Harrison likes to eat breakfast and lunch it his table but he still uses the highchair for dinner.

Goodness, he looks so serious. It’s amazing when those baby things start to leave and the “little boy” things start to show up.

He gets more handsome every week! He is getting to be quite the little man - I love the lighting in this shot…and how concentrated he is on eating those crackers!

he’s absolutely way too cute!!! If you get the whole pottytraining thing figured out be sure to let me know…..my little one would rather play with hers than actually use it!

Another great shot.
And wow, Seamonkey is so not ready for a booster seat or the potty! Great work mom, guess I better get on the ball - although he does come over to us and say “poooooooo” when he’s got a load in his pants - it’s progress, right?
