Trippin'

Me holding Ami, and G with his brothers.

Cuteness

Last night G went from the crawling posture to the sitting posture all by himself. Maybe I'll get that on film for ya!

Whose Tired?

Nap time this morning. It was a long way down and apparently being held was preferred. Mommy tired.


I've held him for an hour and a half! Whew! And counting... Later... when he did wake up I discovered he had peed on me :-) gotta love this potty training technique!

THE Education

You know what? There is so much to learn about babies and it seems like each little thing I learn leads me to another and another. Wearing babies helps baby digest and pass gas and also helps with potty training. Cloth diapers helps with potty training. Co-sleeping makes a confident calm baby, so does wearing a baby. Child-led breast feeding leads to child-led solids introduction. Breast feeding leads to good elimination communication. Breastfeeding is aided by co-sleeping. Wearing your baby leads to child-led food introduction. Breast feeding helps momma lose baby weight and wearing your baby provides weight bearing exercises. All this crunchy granola momma stuff is sooo interconnected.

Oh My

New videos of G talking (very cute) have been posted on my Youtube Channel. The link on the right should take you right to it.

This is Fun?!

TMI for some of you... but on the advice of a friend I am trying to "Potty Train" G. Now I know it is crazy, and bound to be a lot of work so it's mostly a game right now. Yesterday G took his morning poop in a toilet! There I was holding him by the armpits. He did it again today, and surprisingly  every time I put him over the toilet he pees! Times have changed - I actually think I'm having fun! And there is the bonus of not having to change a poopy diaper/disaster each morning. I think it will be just a morning thing, we'll see.

Bris

G just got back from SC where we all met A, G's newest Nephew. These pictures were taken at his Bris. Mark is holding A, his newest Grandson.
Gotta say G handled the 4+ hr drive fairly well. He slept off most of it both ways.
