Update on Oliver and Martin

Thought I'd do a quick update on the boys.

Oliver
Oliver is doing really well. Potty training is still pretty hit and miss, though the goal is to have him day trained by February 15th (the date Grandma and Grandpa arrive). Today started off well, as he said he wanted to wear underwear, and did pee in the potty, but asked for a diaper later to do number two and then stayed in a diaper reset of the day. I will admit I have resorted to bribery (using sweets) to get him to use the potty.

He is starting to lift his head when swimming, but his body needs to be more horizontal when he does it. It almost looks like he is treading water.
Martin
Continues to thrive on his all liquid diet. No formula in him yet! Though with the cost of pumping accessories (wipes and storage bags) I'm not convinced it's the cheaper method. Is more convenient though.

He is now rolling over from front to back and back to front, but hasn't done a full 360 at once. Partly due to the fact that he's mostly in his play gym and limited to how far he can roll. He also pivots on his belly.

He is a big flirt, and will smile at you and then look away, then look back with a big smile. Knock on wood, his night sleeping is getting better also.

We've also put him in the exersaucer, which he is loving. He is a very drooly baby and loves to suck on his hands (or yours if you let him).

He is the spitting image of Oliver though. Spooky really.
