Fussy! Fussy! Fussy!

Fussy babies might be hard to deal with and some of us don't know this but it's harder on the parents.....single moms especially. 

To the mothers of those very fussy babies...remember that nothing lasts forever, that too will pass and soon the fussing will be gone and you will begin to wonder what happened to all those baby years.

Try and look at this fussing from a different perspective...its a humbling experience and during these tough times we develop a special intimacy with God. So instead of asking "Why did You give me such a fussy baby?", ask God "What do you intend to teach me about myself and life in general..through this baby?"

To us with friends and families with fussy babies...the best we can do is talk to the parents an find out how baby and most importantly mom, are coping. Find out if there is any way you can help out. See if you can take the baby for a few hours and allow the mom to breathe....this is way better than tat baby shower gift you wanted to give. 

We all need time out from our daily frustrations...so let's be the best support we can be to our friends and family who need us the most!!

Ultimately, 

the key to competent parenting 

is being able to get behind the eyes of your child, 

seeing what he sees 

and feeling what he feels.

--THE STRONG-WILLED CHILD--- 

Diapers!!!

So as the baby keeps growing he poops bigger....right? Well, this dude delivers with a BANG and a PONG!!

I read that one should not frown of make faces of disgust when changing the diaper no matter how stinky or disgusting it may be. It's true...thats one of the few times your baby looks at you keenly. I always prefer talking to him and singing to him at such times. I have learned to smile through it all. * :-)) baby made good stinky :-))*

I don't know if everyone goes though this but at a certain age the diaper changing becomes more of a game for him.This little guy rolls around when you're trying to change him. He crawls away from me, then looks back to laugh at me...They grow up so fast!!!

These are moments that I thought would be so disgusting and tiring but they actually turned out to be enjoyable, fun and a great learning experience!

They say that before your child is perfectly potty trained...you will have gone through changing about 5,000 diapers!! Feels like more though. I think I'm a pro now :-))!!
