Nearly half a million babies (1 in 10) are born premature in the US each year which is higher than that of most other developed nations. This is the journeys of our first born son, Finnegan, who was born 14 weeks early and weighed only 1 pound 15 ounces at birth. Of our daugher, Korrigan, who was born a healthy 7 pounds, 7 ounces at 37 weeks. And of our second son, MacKeegan, who was also born at 37 weeks at a whopping 8 pounds, 13 ounces. Our continued adventures reminds us daily how good God is.

Big boy and girl

Finn peed again in his potty chair! We've been asking him a couple times a day, but not pushing it and he hasn't shown much interest. He told Jim he had to go Friday night and he sat on the toilet several times with each of us for a while (fan on and with books to read!). We kept his diaper off the rest of the night and kept asking him every 10 minutes or so. I was putting Korri to bed and Jim had just put Finn to bed and Jim came running upstairs to Finn's room. Jim said, "Finn, you went potty in your toilet!" Finn had gone one of the times when he was sitting in there by himself and never told us! So we got him up and celebrated and gave him a cookie (his promised reward for when he goes in his toilet). He kept saying, "excited!" and pumping his fists! So cute. We wanted him to know that it was a big deal and kept calling him a big boy. So, we'll see...

Korri rolled over again, too! What a big girl. I went to get her from her nap this afternoon and she was laying (not happily!) on her back. Now she needs to figure out how to roll back so she doesn't get so mad :) This is probably the fourth time she has rolled from tummy to back. Maybe we can say we have a "roller" soon!

Auntie Becca surprised us by offering to watch the kids for us last night! It was the best gift ever. Jim and I went to the movie Hangover 2 and it was just as good as the first one. I have to admit, throughout the movie, I kept thinking of Korri and thinking one of two things: 1. I really hope that she is behaving and not causing auntie too much trouble and 2. I love sitting here and not hearing her cry! Thank you so much Becky, Pete and Austin. I'm glad neither of them caused any major problems :)
