One of Gabe's second year molars have made their grand appearance. Finally. I knew he was teething because for the past couple of weeks, he has had a rather short fuse. He's got the normal toddler frustration going on, but it was definitely taken up a notch. So far, its just the one molar on the bottom left. Haven't taken a good look lately to see if any of the other three have popped up. I can really imagine how painful it is, so I give him some extra cuddling, etc. to get through it all.
Gabe also had his 2 year check-up in June, and I do not believe I posted about it. He weighs 25 pounds now, so his weight is catching up with his height. I think (if I remember correctly) he is 32 inches tall. He is doing really well, no problems.
The main ongoing project with Gabe now is potty training. It seems that physically, he is just about 100 percent ready, but emotionally…not quite there. A while ago, we bought a potty and a toilet attachment. He would pee a lot in it, mostly in the mornings. Wanted nothing to do with the toilet attachment. Then he wanted nothing to do with the potty, either. Then recently, we got some potty books. He likes those a lot and asks to read them while sitting on the regular toilet with the potty attachment. But he has yet to actually go; he will go through all the motions of going to the bathroom without actually doing it. So, we're still working it. Any advice or encouragement is welcome!

Advice? Sounds like he is pretty close. Just give it a little more time.
Encouragement? You're a great mom!
Wow, thanks! Yeah, I know he is close. In fact, this morning he peed in the toilet for the first time! Yay!
