Well, after watching old videos of Charlie this morning I have come to realize that I have forgotten how my little round faced boy used to look, crawl, and sound! Things you think you'll never forget in a lifetime are distant memories until you're reminded of them. ((Sigh)) It's so hard to see them grow up, to change, to morph into this person who can "do" it all on his own; who someday won't need his Mommy to lift him up out of crib after naps...but I console my heart by telling myself that no matter what he will still always need his Mama. I hope!
In the event that things must change, we are out on the hunt for some sort of container to hold all of Charlie's toys. We're teaching him, over and over and over countless (and I do mean countless!) times to put his toys away when he's through with them. It is actually working, to our credit. Repetition is where its at! So, we'll see what we come up with. Nothing fancy or expensive, but something that will do the job!
Wesley is fitting right in with our family. He sleeps a lot and is now starting to eat 3-4oz! I have found it very useful to nurse him at night and bottle feed him with all that I have stored us during the day. At night I don't have to wait around while a bottle heats up and then pump after that, then wash all the pump pieces and put it in a bag and stuff it in the freezer. This way, I'm done within 20 minutes and can go back to my warm bed! Ah! :) I must say, because I am a little proud and a lot surprised, I just went through my 100th Lansinoh bag yesterday! 100 bags!!! That's insane for only having a baby that is 3 weeks old! Ok, enough said about me and my (ahem) milk.
On to much sweeter things to talk about, Wesley is such a great little boy. I tell ya, it isn't fair that I have 2 great babies! Now, Charlie is definitely a handful, but I chalk it up to the fact that 1. he's a boy and 2. he's 19 months old. If he wasn't a handful there would probably be something wrong with him! But it also makes for great adventures and story telling. You couldn't think up some of the things I have gone through with Charlie. Luckily, knock on wood, he has NOT played with his poop- as some kids I know have. I'll say it again, knock on wood!!
Well, we're off to do some shopping- right after I change 1 very stinky diaper and 1 really wet, tiny one! :) Oh the life of a parent- wouldn't trade it for all the money on Wall Street!
