potty training and other accomplishments at 8 weeks

Isaac is eight weeks old today! Doesn't he look quite a bit different than when he was born?
Here's the sassy boy again.

Check out the triple chin on that baby. I guess they do get fat by 8 weeks. Good thing though! We compared his foot to his baby footprints, and his toes completely hang over where the toes used to end. So, they have grown a whole toelength.
Also, I noticed that the cartilage in his ears is getting harder, more grown up. When I was changing his diaper just now, I noticed him definitely start to look at his hands. The way I could tell is that he went cross-eyed to try to focus on the one hand, then he brought it to his face to touch his face. It won't be long before he figures that one out.
Sometimes, though, I think he still looks like Michael a lot.


We decided to potty train Isaac, and we figured you can never start too early. So, we are habituating him to the seat. And look! He went in the pot!

Okay, so actually there was a momentary crisis as Isaac was without a diaper for about a minute, so he really only did it halfway by himself... Nevertheless, we are proud of our little son for trying out the big kids' pot at just 8 weeks post-birth!

I lost the other camera (Grandma's nice one). Is it in Grandma's purse? Her glasses got left here too.

  2. 8 weeks! Wow! Don't you feel proud that you've gotten him this far? And that he's growing and thriving? Good job Gina :) You are doing wonderful. As for potty training...my goodness, I'd say that's a little above and beyond the call of duty for now :)

    I can't wait to meet Isaac in person!
