Toothy

[october 9]

Mannix got his first tooth today! He has been fussy for the past two days and I couldn't point out what it was..well now I know! This morning I woke up to him talking and touching my face and for some reason I decided to put my finger in his mouth and feel his gum and to my surprise felt a tiny tooth :D I've had a feeling that he has been teething since 3 months of age because he was constantly drooling and chewing on everything. I wasn't sure because I have read that drool and chewing doesn't always mean teeth.

So wow, things are really flying by! He recently started being able to hold both of his feet in the air with his hands and sometimes comes really close to putting his foot in his mouth :P I've been trying to encourage sitting up and he is doing very well sometimes he leans forward and I help him back up. I don't ever walk away I sit on the floor with him.

and Im still deeply in love with gDiapers! They are fantastic, it has come down to only using Pampers when he is sleeping and ONCE in a while when we go out.

Growing Baby

[september 23]

Everything is definitely changing around here. Mannix is no longer a newborn, he is an infant! He is starting to do things on his own..like grab his pacifier and put it in his mouth, he started grabbing his feet on the 11th and one of the biggest accomplishments so far is he started rolling over! This past Sunday (the 20th) Mannix was trying and trying to roll over but couldn't I have been practicing the movements with him for weeks now and so I showed him how to roll over and laid him on his back again and bam! he did it! :D And you know what? I caught it on video!

Im soo loving this stage of life for him its so amazing to see him grow and grow everyday!

We recently started Mannix on stage 1 baby food..now I know that some people are going to hassle me about it but the Pediatrician. said I could start him and honestly, I think he was ready for it. I hate feeling bad every time I eat he is just staring at me with his mouth open! How could you tell me that he isn't ready? Everybody has their own opinion on what is right for their child, and I know I'm doing the right thing.

Im loving the gDiapers as well! Cloth diapering is so fun and cute, I wish everyone did it. It is complicated and a hassle since our apartment doesn't have washer/dryer connections. We have to go to Isidro's parents house to wash all the time..not that its a bad thing! lol Its just that it would be easier if we had our own you know? So far we have only had 2 accidents and that was because I didn't fit the diaper right on the legs.

Halloween is coming up next month! Whoo I can't wait to see which costume I decide on for Mannix! :)
