This was what was going through my mind this morning at 6ish, when I realized that Adam had gone all night without a feeding! Sure, he cried out a couple of times, but thankfully Lee took too long to get up and change his diaper so he went back to sleep. Now, we are just praying he does the same tonight because Lee has an advancement exam tomorrow morning :)

A Win for Mama!!

Win Some, Lose Some
It's official. I am the worst mother in the world. I have absolutely ZERO patience for potty training! I've decided that potty training is my own personal hell. Jacob was in big boy undies all day...his choice. I thought he had made it to the potty a couple of times...but I would find the puddles later....WITH MY BARE FEET! I've stepped in/cleaned up more pee in this one day, than I did in all the years that I owned a cat...(and a gerbil for a short time.) He either won't or can't remember to go to the potty. He just stands there and pees his pants and watches it drip on the floor! Then he says, "I poo poo!" Aaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! He even peed on one of our side tables. This must be pay back for judging other kids potty training abilities. (This was before I had any of my own.) You know, back when I knew it all. Is there anyone out there with wisdom for my situation? Please, only give advice if you have children of your own and have fought and won the potty training battle. Help me before I permanently scar my child into NEVER using the potty again!
On a Roll
Adam likes to stay awake after his middle-of-the-night feeding. It has been the case that he gets stuck on his back then crys for someone to come in and put him on his tummy so he can go back to sleep. Last night I watched him play in his crib for a while...rolling around and talking to his self and such. A little bit later I woke up and saw that he was asleep...on his tummy!! Can you hear the Hallelujah chorus?? He flipped on his own!! He flipped ON HIS OWN!!!
This morning while the kids and I were playing on the floor Adam rolled...then rolled...then rolled...then rolled....until he was on the other side of the room! I don't recall Jacob ever doing that. It was cute :)

A Step in the Right Direction
Adam is 5 months old today. He can finally roll from his back to his stomach, but he only does it when he's happy. Jacob put on big boy undies tonight and went to the potty once. I can honestly say that life is pretty good right now. 
Jacob shares Pooh Bear with Adam. He really loves his brother. I have to remind him NOT to share his small toys with him. I know this dynamic will change when Adam starts taking
Jacob's toys...but I'm enjoying the present.
Adam is grateful to hold Jacob's most prized posession.
This is the pipe cleaner farm animal kit that Jacob and I (I) put together a few days ago. With the exception of the sheep and the stallion that looks like a camel, it turned out pretty well. Jacob enjoyed playing with the animals for a few minutes...but I just can't throw it away for some reason. Anyone need pipe cleaner animals??

Milestones
Adam has discovered that he has feet and toes! When he's waiting to be taken out of the crib...even for his midnight snack.....he plays with his toes. You may also notice his baby rolls. Today I put a onesie on him that Jacob was wearing at 12 months. It fit perfectly! Adam is also "crawling". He is inching forward like a worm, but he has yet to roll from his back to his stomach or sit unassisted. I was reflecting on the progression of my fantasies yesterday. When I was young I fantasized about being all grown up. I fantasized about proms and a wedding. There was also a time in my life that I fantasized about being Katie Koelz, O.D., or Katie Koelz, brilliant microbiologist. Yesterday I caught myself fantasizing about Adam rolling from his back to his stomach. Oh, how much easier life will be then!!!
For Aunt Jessie Lou
It has once again been brought to my attention that I'm a little too slow getting pictures posted :) Here's a little catch up from the last month.
Jacob and Monny making Jacob's third birthday cake.
Looks like Jacob did a good job decorating his cake. We added the Little People before we brought it out to him.
Jacob at his birthday party. He has on his cowboy boots and a belt that Monny fashioned for him. And in his hand....a magic wand!
Adam likes to sit in the walker and is becoming interested in eating the toys.
(date on picture obviously wrong)
Adam loves his black and white sheep.
We went to Alabama to visit with Nana and Papa. While we were there we went to DeSoto Caverns. It was so beautiful and Jacob was excited to wear his miner's hat. I'll have to post a picture of that.
Jacob and the indian. He is wearing Aunt Shelby's old jacket....very old (she's 16). We were not equipped for the cold weather.
Jacob and Adam waiting to enter the cave. Adam is wearing a hat I found stuffed in the diaper bag that is a pinch too small!
