Every day things...

In the crib there is a "sleep positioner" which helps Charles stay in a certain position. He usually likes to sleep on his side if he is flat. On this day, however, he was being a wiggle-worm, which is fine as long as he is sleeping. He likes to have a pacifier sometimes and his "Ookie" doll.

Charles sleeps in our room at night in the bassinet. This is the set-up we have for him because he still doesn't like to sleep flat on his back. He is in his bouncy seat. We have started strapping him in because he's been actively dreaming lately! He does really well sleeping at night except every now and then when he has too much gas.

Charles likes his swing. I remember when he actually did not like it very much. In this picture you can see what he usually does in the swing--hold Ookie and talk to Po the Kung-fu Panda. He's actually looking at the Christmas tree in this shot.

Look! It's a cloth diaper. Charles wears his cloth diapers mostly on the weekends but some evenings too. During the day he wears disposable at the daycare and at night as well. The diapers are not up to his heavy wetting in the night. We had two instances of leaks and that was it for me! Other than that, the diapers are great. They are so soft and he can usually wear them 2-3 hours before a change is needed. I put a paper (made for cloth diapers) in the diaper to help clean up poop messes. It works great. I just lift out the paper and the diaper is not messy. Then I just put the diapers in a bag and wash them the next day. In one day he uses about 8 diapers. If I was with him at home all day I would use these all the time.
Here he is with the pajamas closed up. See! You can't tell he's got a cloth diaper on! For more pics of our family click the link to the right that says "Brian's pictures." Brian has a page where he uploads pretty much all the pics we have.
