Another week of life

Joseph is now three weeks old and "growing like a weed," for lack of a better phrase. At his two week check up, he had gained a total of two pounds and one inch since birth.

After three unexpectedly successful days of potty training, Ruth got struck with a mighty head cold that pretty much killed any chance at potty training. What with minuscule naps and restless nights being the norm since she caught this nasty bug, having her concentrate on using the potty seemed like cruel and unusual punishment. So we've taken a hiatus until she feels up to par.

Unfortunately Ruth is great at sharing with her new brother: toys, snacks, and COLDS! Three days after Ruth started coughing and dripping, Joseph is now sneezing through the night. So, Cameron and I transfer the humidifier from room to room and remind each other how someday we will look back on these days with reminiscent smiles.
