Changes

There are two types of changes going on- diaper and life!

I found a really good deal on these gdiapers (www.gdiapers.com). They have an inner lining that is flushable (put the poo where it belongs!) and the outer shell is super cute and soft and comes in lots of colors. You can wash in the washing machine when necessary. We are going to try these out and see how it goes. I will probably still use disposable for night time since they are more absorbent and reliable. But these are a great alternative to disposables that take 500 years to decompose (these take 50 days).

Life changes- Benjamin has TWO teeth. Count that TWO! In less than 2 weeks. Poor little guy. So the sleep training stopped during that time and he got smarter. He is now able to withstand many different forms of sleep inducing: stroller walks, car rides, swaying to music, humming, pretty much every trick in the book. So we are back to crying this week. Night one, 40 minutes of non-stop top of his lungs crying.

We went in a consoled him a few times without picking him up. Another thing that is helping is his lovey. A little blue towel that he holds when he naps. I hope it helps comfort him! (and I need to find backups, just in case something happens to it!) Speaking of naps, they are about 2 45mins naps a day. That is not acceptable for a little baby! He should have at least two 1-1 1/2 hours naps and I think that is why he isnt sleep well at night. We need a complete sleep overhaul.

Also, the little man really really wants to crawl!! On his belly he can do a full pushup onto his toes and he lunges forward. When he gets moving for real, I'll get a video and post.

Ok enough for tonight. Pray for mommy and daddy, we want peace!
