6mths ago today, Kyle was born. He has brought such joy to our lives. Seeing the 2 boys together really makes me smile!
Today also marks the day that he crawled for the first time! I have been saying since 4.5 mths that he would crawl by 6mths. And, this morning - he did~ He only went a few "paces" to reach a bottle - but then he did it again an hour later to get a toy. He also repeated it again tonight! Sometimes he gets his legs going and forgets to move his arms, but he is getting the hang of it!

another owly design product
As I posted earlier, Owly Design is a relatively new Etsy shop. I got to witness first hand how awesome the drool bibs are. They are well made, cute designs, and best of all - the material she uses is super absorbent, and has a lining inside that keeps the back from getting wet. No more worrying about your little one's shirts getting soaked through the bib - and no more drool rashes on the chest!

I am all for breast milk, but .....
..... this just seems wrong to me
breast milk ice cream
I cannot fathom why anyone would want to eat ice cream made with someone else's breast milk. I wouldn't even eat if it was made with my own. And charging £14 for it - seems a little outrageous to me.
Your thoughts?

sleeping arrangements
I always swore I would never co-sleep. Not because I didn't like the idea of snuggling up to my kids, but because I was worried that I would have an 8 year old still in my bed EVERY night.
When Jullien was a baby, I would pull him in the odd time in the wee hours of the morning - I would nurse him and it would buy me an extra hour or 2 of sleep.
As he got older, I stopped doing that, as I didn't want it to become a bad habit.
Fast forward a year, and J started working nights (5pm - 3am) When Julien would wake in the middle of the night, I would soooo long for my bed. So much so, that I starrted bringing him to bed with me so that he would fall back asleep.
J and I both loved the night time cuddles that he would give us. The one rule that we put in place, was that he HAS to fall asleep in his own room. If (when) he wakes up, then he can come join us in our room. The odd time we break the rule (if he is sick, or if he had a long afternoon nap and isn't ready for bed yet when we are) but otherwise, we have been able to stick to it.
When Kyle was born, I found that I loved to bring him to our bed, because it was super easy to nurse him while I slept. It was peaceful, and we both got what we needed. The only concern I had with Kyle, was that Julien would kick/squish or hurrt him some other way when he climbed into bed.
Now that Kyle is older, I don't have those same concerns, but he sleeps so well in his crib that I don't want to mess with it.

mango mania!
Kyle had his first taste of "real" food on Sunday - some frozen mango in the mesh feeder. Not sure if he liked it or not - he kept making sour faces, but then he would go back for more
