Fun, fun, fun

Almost five months. I think you have learned almost as much as I have over the past months. For one thing, you can hold your head up and produce a wide range of sounds and fluids. I have nappy washing down pat:

1) get bucket with sealed lid.

2) half-fill with water and a small box of bicarb

3) put mesh laundry bag in bucket

4) fill with cloth messes

5) remove mess bag and empty contents into washing machine

6) filth-water goes in the toilet

7) carbon footprint reduced!

Also, Mom got me using cloth wipes and this wipe mixture she read about online. Today the two of you are out getting supplies to make one of those trendy slings. We even tried our hand at making our own diapers! Test 1 failed but Mom has found a place that sells toweling. If we can get some hems put into some towel squares we will have a load of cheap-as-free cloth nappies.

GO ECOLOGY! GO COLLEGE FUND!

Here's a picture of you on the beach a couple of weeks ago when we went with cousin Christopher to the beach.


I tried to feed you some rice cereal 2 weeks ago. It was so messy and I decided to stick with the milk a little while longer. The conventional wisdom these days is that a baby should eat breast milk and nothing else until 6 months, so I guess we can wait.

Mom bought you a tray for your Bumbo. I think I like it more than you do, but you'll get more excited about it when you start eating crunch things.
