Elijah's Top Ten: 9. Sleeping

Number 9 reason Elijah is awesome: he sleeps.
Now I am NOT going to brag on the internet about my good little sleeper, because that means I have a few bad sleeping nights ahead of me. But this little dude is a pretty good sleeper.
And I like to think that Elijah likes to share a room with his brother. It still makes me smile to hear the boys in their room at night "talking" as they fall asleep. Really, its sounds more like Elijah is yelling at Nathan. But either way, I love that he will never know life without having his brother sleeping near him.
We still use a napping room in our downstairs for naps. Elijah is usually up before Nathan at nap time because he still takes 2 naps a day. Although this week Nathan was the first one up several times, and I kind of missed my one on one time that I have with Elijah for that half hour in the afternoon.
Elijah is awesome because he sleeps. Way to go little buddy.

Growing like a bean

Another brilliant baby idea! :) I thought this would come in handy to measure our little bean. He seems to grow so quickly, this can keep us up to date. It's a baby measuring sheet, just lay babies head in the center and it tells you how long they are. Parents can measure baby from any direction, find more photos and info here.

Childbirth, Childbirth everywhere

We attended our first childbirth class last night, an event that neither Daniel or I was looking that forward to. I was hesitant for a few reasons, one being that the minute I put this on the calender THREE MONTHS AGO, other events happening on these specific Mondays have been coming up. Secondly, is that my husband has a condition that happens during every parenting type of class that we go to, lets call it "giggle-at-inappropriate-times disease." It's not that he is not interested in the topics, but for some reason the other parents in the classes that we go to are usually really reserved and quite. So we will sit in silence waiting for the class to begin, sit silently through the class and then leave. Daniel's response to this is to make jokes and laugh throughout the class. Childbirth class has been no exception to this trend, and I joined him in the giggling this time. Although it hurt so bad to try to hold in my laughter, I began to have tears. All of th...

Alternative Diaper Bag

We have been having a struggle finding the ultimate diaper bag. I have purchased two so far and looked a hundred more. We are looking for one that can hold all of our stuff, fit into the basket of our stroller, and looks trendy so Daniel can carry it and not be totally awkward. We recently switched to an old backpack that I had. It seems to be working, but my search continues. Today I found this.... it's a jacket for dads that functions as a diaper bag. All the storage, coolness and functionality we are looking for and its hands free! And as a bonus, it basically ensures that Daniel would be the one changing diapers. It has a changing pad in the back pocket and an easy access wipes pocket. It also has a side pocket for bottle. GENIUS!!! www.dadgear.com
