Well...we did it...we are now using cloth diapers! It is day two and things are going well. We have learned from some mistakes...which resulted in Pappy getting pee'd on and Owen wetting his gown and blanket in the night. The mistakes are not due to the diaper construction at all...they were due to operator error! We are figuring out the best and proper way to put the diapers on.
The diapers look great on Owen. We will have to take some pictures and post them soon.
We've also transitioned to the schedule we need to be on when Mom goes back to work in the office full-time on October 5th. His first feed of the day is now 5am (instead of 6am). And after extensive brainstorming on how we could all get more sleep during the night, we moved Owen's long sleep time to 11pm to 5am (used to be 9pm to 3am). Night one of that (last night) went well...so we will see how the next few go before raving about it!! Thank goodness Owen is flexible and adaptive to what we throw at him! We figure he doesn't care, as long as he is fed every three hours seven times a day, burped, dry, warm, cuddled some, played with and left alone to sleep enough!!!
Other than that...Owen is becoming much more expressive. He has cute little frowns and large open-mouthed smiles. He can see himself in the mirror of his Boppy Play Mat (see previous post) and adores looking/smiling in it for up to 30 minutes at a time! Owen has found his fist, which goes in his mouth when he can get it there. Owen still spits up a lot, but we are managing it better now with some medicine, wearing bibs and always carrying a cloth wipe around!
