BABY NEWS!!!

Today it's official!!
I'm going to get a brother (Mommy's wish) or a sister (Daddy's wish). This time it will be a surprise, no peeking. In January 2010 we will see.

Mommy & Daddy are super excited. All I really worry about is getting my food on time, having my play time & getting my diapers changed.

My First Visit To The Beach

Sunday we went to the beach. After a nice nap my Daddy took me for my first swim. Well it was certainly not the nicest thing that happened to me in my life so far....

Some Harsh But Real Facts

The Layette

SECOND BABY: She checks to make sure that the clothes are clean and discards only the ones with the darkest stains.

Diapering
FIRST BABY: The baby’s diapers are changed every hour, whether they need it or not.
SECOND BABY: The diaper is changed every 2 to 3 hours, if needed.
THIRD BABY: The parents try to time the changing of diapers before others start to complain about the smell or it starts sagging to the knees.

Pacifier

SECOND BABY: When the pacifier falls on the floor, they squirt it off with some juice from the baby’s bottle.
THIRD BABY: A quick wipe off on the shirt and just pop it back in.
