Cot
Last night Tiny was asleep between us after I'd fed
him. e flailed around a bit trying to sprawl, and in a barely awake
state, crawled over the top of me heading for his cot. I helped him
along and covered him up with his blanket. He fidgeted a bit more, got
himself comfortable with his head on his pillow and promptly fell
asleep. I watched him go to sleep in his cot (which is minus a side and
up against the side of our bed, seeing as he's getting bigger), Josh
cuddled up behind me and commented that Tiny was getting to be a big
boy. I said yeah, and remembered our little newborn nestled in between
us, sleeping. I was quite proud of him for going into the cot by
himself (or at least intending to), and thinking how much I was going to
miss him when he moved out into his own bed (as nice as having the bed
back to ourselves will be too ;)
Miuk
Josh went to
get Tao not long ago when he woke up from his nap, and brought him out.
Tao was still a bit groggy and wanted to come to me, I took him and
cuddled him, he fussed for a bit, looking forlornly at me with his
screwed up prissy face, thought for a little while, then said "Miuk'
quite clearly. I responded "milk?" and looked up at Josh saying "Did
you hear that?" Josh answered "Sounded like milk to me." So back in the
room I took Tao and gave him another feed. After his feed he kept
pulling himself up on the bed head and trying to step over my head, so I
eventually put him on my tummy with his feet towards the edge of the
bed. He pushed himself backwards and onto the floor. Josh came out of
the toilet and saw him standing on the floor and asked if he'd gotten
down by himself, which he had mostly. Tao got down and crawled into the
bathroom with Josh, then we headed out into the living area again.
Poo!
Tao
spent a lot of time fussing and carrying on. I asked Josh if he'd
changed his nappy or taken him to the bathroom since he woke up. Answer
was no, so I checked his nappy and sure enough wet. I carried him into
the bathroom, took the cover off and placed him into the bath. His
nappy was wet but Tao was looking impatient like he needed to go, so I
whipped the nappy off and put it and the liner into the nappy bucket.
Poo shot out of Tao and hit the back wall of the bathroom. I yelled for
Josh, who got cleanup duty, I made sure the baby's bum was clean and
whacked him into a clean nappy.
Both of us were quite impressed
that he had waited til his nappy was off before letting off the poo.
There was quite a bit of it, it woulda made quite a mess in his nappy. I
think tomorrow we are going to wander off to Baby on a Budget and get
him a potty.
I'm pretty sure there was something he did yesterday
as well, but seeing as we're in a constant state of amazement and
thinking he's clever (standard operating procedure with all parents I
think) I can't immediately remember what it is. Maybe later :)
