My little man doesn't feel so little anymore. I can feel it when I pick him up out of his crib at 3 am for his ritual feeding. As I feed him I think to myself, "how on earth am I going to wean him??" Shelby slept through the night at 11 weeks, so weaning her was pretty easy. Liam will be eight months old in just a few days and he's still as attached as ever. I plan on weaning him at 12 months, but I have a feeling it will be a bit of a challenge. That being said, he is still changing in so many ways. First thing, I started cloth diapering him about four months ago. Gross right? Actually not really. That was my first comment to my mom when she mentioned it to me when I was pregnant with him. But as I looked into it, not only are they so cute, but they are softer and much more gentle on baby's skin (great for babies who suffer from chronic diaper rash). And most importantly, they will save me mucho bucks in the long run. They also wont sit in a landfill for hundreds of years either. It makes me feel like I'm doing just a teeny tiny part in helping our beautiful planet lol! Now what about the poop? I know that's what your thinking. Well I usually just "plop" it into the toilet and go on my way. But if it's especially icky I have a sprayer attached to the toilet that sprays it right off no biggie. I love it, truly. I still use disposables while out and about or traveling. It makes for less bulk in my bag. And thats that!
He also started crawling at the speed of light. Literally I turn around and he's in the dog food or trying to crawl out the doggie door! It won't be long before he's causing mass destruction..
And my little Lilo also got his fist tooth! Whoo Hoo! His one little tooth nubbin sticking out of his gums is so cute! I think the one next to it will be popping out any day now.
It still surprises me how each little spirit is born so special and unique with they're own personalities. While both my kids are so outgoing and fun, Liam I know is a boy to his core. Ripping his sisters hair out started months ago hasn't ceased. He loves when his daddy jumps on Shelby's itty bitty trampoline with him in his arms. I can see the sense of adventure in his eyes, and as his mother I am already nervous for the heart stopping moments he is going to put me through. I just wish he would stay a baby a little longer!
he is certainly a cutie... and getting so big! (even though our chunky monkey would still squash him haha... he might need to lay off the baby snacks) :) Good work with the cloth diapering! Ive always been too scared... you and Desi make it look super easy!
