7 weeks, came too fast!

This last week we made our first big adventure out and about with Laney, we traveled to Longmont, Colorado for my cousin Amy's baby shower. Laney was such a good baby! She is such a great little traveler, she sleeps in her car seat for almost the whole time, just wakes up when she needs a change.

We also started the beginning stages of EC'ing. EC stands for elimination communication...or infant potty training. We have just started getting the cuing down when I know she's going, but I have a funny story. Sunday I thought I'd brave it and take her to the potty when she woke up from her nap because she typically goes when she wakes up. So she wakes up from her long nap and starts to fuss like she needs to go. So I undress her bottom half and hold her over the big toilet close to my body and cue her with a grunt, but she proceeds to scream her head off...I'm thinking "this isn't how it's supposed to go I don't think, maybe she's cold". So I change my mind and think maybe another time and I start to turn around and there she goes, peeing, so I quickly turn back around and try and get her over the toilet, pee goes everywhere, on the seat, on the floor, down my leg, but I did manage to get her on the toilet to catch a poop! Completely accidental! Well I thought maybe I'd just go nurse her and thought maybe the next time would go smoother. So after she finished nursing she started cuing me that she needed to poop again, so I just held her in my lap in her diaper and grunted with her, she squatted down and pushed out a huge poop. It was perfect timing and then she cracked the biggest smile at me as if she recognized that I helped her go! It was the cutest smile it made me cry, it was awesome! Funny the little pleasures in life :)
