My (Very Long) Flannel Bunting Flipbook

Me and Jonah

We ran into Auntie Tally with Lila and Jonah at the chiropractor today. Jonah is so big! My parents remember when he was smaller than me. I hope we become friends.

Daddy Having Fun...

...at my expense. My mama laughed too, though.

OH! SNOW!

It SNOWED yesterday! My first snow. Mind you, I didn't really see it since I slept all through the reunion and never looked out a window, and my parents covered me up getting into the car. Still, it was my first snow! (kind of)

Me and Bunny

Auntie Jule and Auntie Diana came over to see me and brought lots of nice things, especially for when I get bigger. Here's me with bunny banky in the sling before my walk.

Thanks, Auntie Jule and Auntie Diana!

My Feet!

Day before last my mama took me to the potty as usual. I didn't want to be there anymore so I did my classic stick my legs out straight pose...and that's when I saw them...my feet! I stared at those things for a good bit. Fascinating, feet.

Reunion

We had a reunion today of the parents and babies from the birth class. Here are the mamas and the papas...and the babies. Malcom, (from Jen and Dan) is the oldest. Olivia (from Darla and Justin) is next -- check out Darla's sculpture and Justin's woodwork on Etsy. Then there's me. (We missed you Yolanda and Mark. Maybe next time we can meet your little man.) Thanks for having us over Krista (talented acupucturist), Andy and Ruby -- happy birthing to you for your new little girl and Ruby's little sister!

Clothes in Time for Winter

Auntie Lida sent me some awesome wool clothing from Nordic Woolens. A wool hood and a hooded suit. Can't wait to wear them out in the Bob stroller! Aren't I stylin'! Thanks, Auntie Lida!

Sweetling

This is the sweet little face my mama wakes up to in the morning. Oh wait, that's my sweet face!

Daddy Duty

My daddy's job is to burp me when I'm done eating. I feel better after a good burp, and I like being held by my daddy.

Just Like My Mama

Daddy snuck this picture in while we were asleep together this morning. I do like snuggling up next to my mama when morning comes.

My Baby Bjorn Potty

My parents and I are on an EC journey (Elimination Communication, also known as infant potty training...or, life with a baby in most of the rest of the world). My parents got me a little potty of my own so the didn't have to keep going upstairs to the sink when we're downstairs. Right now my parents take me at key times like when I wake up. So far it's been going pretty well. Certainly cuts down on diapers! I haven't used the potty much yet, but it has come in handy a couple of times.

Here's more about EC if your interested. Some people call it diaper free, but you certainly don't have to go all or nothing.

Diaper Free Baby This site has local groups you can join to make connections with other ECing families.

Natural Birth and Baby Care This site has an tremendously helpful interview between the website creator and the owner of EC Wear, Marija. She is awesome. I've been in contact with her because we bought some Eco Nix diapers from her (specially made for newborns and parents doing EC).

First Moonth

It's not exact, but today marks the completion of my first moonth of life. I was born during the phase of the full moon and the full moon is back again. It's hard to believe I'm four weeks old today. Time is going by so fast!
