In the first picture, you can see Malachi’s two teeth if you look closely. He has an appointment tomorrow so I’ll let you know how big he is. I’m guessing around 20 pounds. He’s eating baby food at every meal now and taking better naps for me. Bedtime is okay. He still wakes up a lot and has some sort of stomach issue, but I’m feeling better about life with three kids.
We have begun the serious potty training of Glory. I know no magic solutions; so what we are doing involves lots of laundry and a few M&Ms. I’ll let you know how it turns out. So far, no real progress.
One thing I’m really liking right now is my homemade, washable wet wipes. I bought thin/cheap dish towels and cut them in sixths. Each sixth is folded in half and stacked in a container like this.
My container is deeper and the perfect size for about 20 of my towel wipes. Then I take 2 cups of water and add a tablespoon or two of baby lotion (I like the smell) and baby body wash. I have a diaper pail already for my cloth diapers so the wipes just get thrown in there and washed with the diapers. I love it! The wipes are so much more effective than store bought wipes. Anyway, if you already do cloth diapers, I totally advocate for the cloth wipes.
