Potty progress

Kate has surprised us in the past few days by being more vocal about her need  to use the bathroom. This is something I’d read about babies doing, but she had never shown obvious signs that she was trying to communicate with us about it until now. Before this week, I mostly had to rely on timing to know when to take her to the bathroom, and occasionally she would fuss a bit and I’d know she needed to go. This week, though, she has started looking directly at us, reaching to be picked up, and fussing pretty insistently when she needs to go. She is also getting good at waiting until she’s at the potty. We still have a few wet diapers a day, but the number has dramatically decreased. Who knew a 7-month-old could do that?!
