Some of the best advice I have been given as a mom was from a lady from England that bought our Nissan Altima while I was pregnant with Walker. She said that when her babies were able to sit-up she sat them on the potty each day just so they could become familiar with the potty. Her babes were potty trained by 18 months and earlier! So...I took her advice and when Walker was 7 months old I began putting him on the potty each night before bath time. Sometimes he would accidentally pee in the potty - but more than anything - it just made him familiar with the potty. So fast forward 5 month to my little one year old and here he is...
No I am not claiming that he's potty training - but I am claiming that I have only changed one poopy diaper in the last few days and that he only has a few wet diapers a day. Each time that I set Walker on the potty throughout the day he either pees or pees and poops. It's amazing AND hilarious! He seems so proud of himself too. So hopefully you can benefit form this by giving it a try - these little babes are so smart if we just teach and show then what they are capable of!
Let me know if you have any questions!

Omigoodness Michelle! Look at your advanced little boy. We are a far cry from beginning potty training... probably 5/6 months... actually sooner than I thought! Great job though! I'm so proud of you for trying so early and it looks like it's working out great!!!
