Finnegan and Elijah

I know it's hard to believe, but I am actually having more success with Elijah using the potty than with Finnegan.
Or maybe, it's normal.  However,  today after Elijah ate dinner, I put him on the big potty with the insert so that he doesn't fall in and we talked and played for a few minutes.  Then I put some gentle pressure on his lower abdomen while making some squishy faces and a few minutes later he pooped!  It's pretty incredible.

It will be really something if Elijah get's trained before Finnegan.  Finn doesn't show any interest in using the potty.
Maybe I should put the potty in front of the TV?

Today, he started scooting around on his butt. We were putting decorations on the Christmas tree when MaryAnn said, "he's scooting."
We were very impressed and of course he was proud of himself too. He is now able to push himself backwards with his bare feet.

At 7.5 months Elijah is starting to grow. He likes to grow at Spoon.
It's lots of fun to suspend Elijah in the air and chase Spoon around the house as he growls at the scurrying dog. It's a fun game.
