Sleeping Baby

Back to back updates. I am impressed. Of course, I posted my last one days after I wrote it.

Since after Cap's first night in the pack n play he has done awesome. I should say we all have! He has never been that hard to put to sleep. We put him down when he is drowsy and he falls asleep on his own. This last week has been exceptional though. We haven't gotten up more than once a night since Friday. We change him, feed him, and then he is back sleeping and dreaming. He still makes all sorts of noise, but now we just turn the monitor low and that way it is easier for us to keep sleeping. He gets extra noisy when he wants us to come get him, but still doesn't cry or anything in the middle of the night which we love.

We chose to use 100% cotton cloth diapers because we were wanting to EC. Cap hates being wet or dirty. Using the cloth we have it doesn't remove his wetness from his body like other diapers. I feel like it helps teach him early on about relieving himself and that is what makes him so uncomfortable when his clothes are still on and it really helps me to pay attention to his cues and body language so that he doesn't have to be uncomfortable. We are simply learning to communicate with each other. Communication doesn't just come in words as we know. Cap and I talk to each other all day long. It just may not look or sound the same as me and you doing it:)

So far EC is going pretty good. When we are at home and ready for it we can catch a few a day. I can always count on him peeing right after naps. He typically gives me all the signs for when he is about to poo. I haven't been so good about his poo's though. I need to be more prepared beforehand during the times of day he typically goes. We have still managed to catch some in the potty though. As always, 1 less diaper is a good thing especially when it is a poo one! It is not all about catching pees and poos, but more about us communicating once again. I will update our progress as we go. I am about to get more creative on having potties more readily accessible throughout our day when we are not home.

I keep telling myself to blog about something other than Cap!! Ha! For this moment, he is 98% of what goes on in my day!

what a burly look right?
