Two things, well 3 actually . . .
1) Olivia is doing ok. She goes from running around and feeling good to being completely exhausted and in pain from being too active. I'm trying to keep her quiet, but it isn't easy. I can't restrain her physically. I just try to keep her interested in cartoons and drawing and reading books. It's hard though when I'm nursing Liam, which is often. She has a check-up tomorrow.
2) Is it sad that for my anniversary gift (which is this weekend) I wanted a custom diaper bag made specifically for cloth diapers? James laughed at my request, but it's something I always carry, so I wanted something cute that I liked! This is the fabric the WAHM is using to make it:
3) I wanted to share this picture of Olivia I took a few weeks ago. We were eating lunch in P@nera and I was feeding Liam (with a cover), so Olivia got out her dolly and started nursing her. I think a few years ago I might've thought it was weird to see a kid doing this, but now, I thought it was awesome. I love promoting breastfeeding! :-) She tells me often that when a baby comes out of her tummy, she'll feed it her "boof," which is what she called nursing and it's the term we've gotten used to using.
