I told you there were some "big changes" coming up and I meant it! Our baby is no longer a baby. He is a big boy. Finn has shocked me and his daddy and is completely out of diapers. He is in big-boy undies all day and all night now. It is something we never in our wildest dreams imagined would happen so soon. I mean, he just turned two at the end of July. He had been asking and/or telling us he needed to poop prior to us going to Disney World. I didn't think a whole lot about it, but knew I was not prepared to undergo potty training AND Disney World all in the same lot. So I tabled potty training until we got back. And sometime in October I tested the waters by just cold-turkey putting him in underwear. Well, he dirtied them pretty quickly and didn't think a thing about it. So I figured it was still too soon to try and potty train. But I wanted one more shot, so I did a couple "naked" days where he literally ran around buck-naked. And he had zero accidents. So, I put him in undies on the third day. And he stayed dry. And he has been like this every since we did the naked-bootcamp. And a few weeks ago we ran out of diapers, he was wearing them for naps and at night only but was keeping them dry, so we decided to cold-turkey go to undies for naps and at night. He has had one accident and it was at 7 in the morning because he slept later than normal. He has had a couple accidents over the past month but he has truly impressed us with how big of a boy he is. We never expected this to happen so soon, but we are tickled. NO MORE DIAPERS!! And he is obsessed with his big-boy underoos.
Potty training lasted a lot longer with his brother, so I got a ton of fun pictures with Keagan...but not so much with Finn. But here are a few cute ones!

Strength in Numbers when it comes to potty-training. Finn had to have his "BunBun" (i.e. his bunny...which he is obsessed with) and his "Na-Na" (blanket) close by in the early days...whatever it takes!
Oh sweet Finn. You have truly impressed us all. How quickly you have grown up and how emotionally torn I am. I am so glad for you to be out of diapers and so proud of you for being such a big boy already, but I deeply miss my baby already! It amazes me how quickly time flies...
Love, love, love the glasses picture and his sweet little face! So proud of Finn! Grey could use some pointers. Baby #4 has ='d lots of accidents :(.
