Size comparison of feet - a 2 year old, a week old, and a way too old. He's put on weight and as of his doctor's appointment last week he was up to 7 lbs., but MAN is he still so super tiny!One interesting thing we've found about having a boy is that he does NOT like having a soilded diaper, for even a second. This is bothersome because he howls the second he's dirty until we fix it. Man, Solei could sit in her own filth for hours... that was nice ;) But something we've also noticed is that no brand of diapers will stop him wetting himself and it seeping up his diaper and around to cover his entire back. Gah. LOTS of pajama changes. We finally remembered something someone mentioned once at a baby shower that has been working about 80% of the time - we put about 3 cotton balls around the waistband of his diaper and it stops the free-flow and we don't have to change the whole outfit, just the diaper.
Any of you have any more tricks for baby boys we should know about?!
cover him up as soon as you take off his diaper, keep him coveredor else he could get you in the face, oreven himself, as my boys did. good luck!!!
ReplyDeleteHe may still be super tiny, but aren't you glad he wasn't any bigger while growing inside?? I'm STILL trying to figure out how Allison actually fit!
ReplyDeleteI suggest eating rootbeer floats. They won't really solve anything, but they seem to solve everything.
ReplyDeleteNo tips from me but I might just try some of the other tips.
ReplyDeleteSuper pee outs are the reason I am going to potty train James at 22 months (as soon as I get back to Switzerland). Wish me luck!
I vote for the float idea!
ReplyDeleteEli would go through like 15 diapers a day for that very reason. I've found with #2 that if I arrange the boy part to point downward insides of the diaper then we don't have any leakage issues.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the 7 lbs! So cute. (I've never seen my kids that small.)
The first time I took one of my boys to church, he peed up and over in a large arch during Relief Society. AHHHH! Fortunately it only hit the TV/projector cart. Could have been worse!!!
ReplyDeleteThat last post is HILARIOUS! All over RS. -Snicker-
ReplyDeleteOtherwise I got nothing. Except you are welcome for the photo. :D
