Thank you all so much, I feel validated! And just for an FYI, DH completely appreciates the joys of having a baby and is really not pushing hard for Matthew to be a "little man" too soon, despite how I might have made it sound. I think DH, like so many of us, has been falling victim to the comparison thing lately. At DS's birthday party, the other two little boys there were exactly DS's age and neither are in high chairs, cribs, or being rocked to sleep. I think it struck DH that Matthew is "still" doing these things. My mother was also sort of spurring that line of thought too, and you know how much our mothers are EXPERTS! ;-)

I told DH that if we had a new baby imminent that it would certainly change the bed thing and we should see where things are in six months. The potty training thing, though, is off the table. We have an insert and we'll see what Matthew wants to do with it as time goes on but I'm in no hurry!
