Behold my hammy child!

Just wanted to share some quick video with all the grandmas out there needing a little Northy fix. Sorry the video quality is so poor, I was using my regular camera instead of the video camera which makes everything look like it was filmed in the 80s.

I finally started using my Moby Wrap with North when I take him on walks because the Bjorn makes my lower back ache now that he has become a chubster. The Moby is essentially a 10 foot long piece of stretchy fabric. It is a pain in the butt to put on and if you're OCD like me, it's a huge pain to fold up after each use. I do like it though and it is really comfortable.

I'm sure I would like the Moby a lot more if I was the type of person that could just leave it in a messy heap. But alas, my mother did not bring me up that way. She ironed the bed sheets when I was growing up if that helps to explain my psychosis at all. Her linen closet could make a grown man weep I tell you. I'm sure it makes Dave weepy in a "this is not my beautiful wife" kind of way with how often I nag him to fold the towels like I do and have them facing in the correct direction. It is a non-stop party in our house.



I took this video last night during bath time. This took many filming takes because North is an exhibitionist. Every time I covered his winky woo with the washcloth of modesty, he grabbed it and whipped it around until it ended up in his mouth the way everything does. Since his winker is going through an inverted phase, I thought I'd better make sure he was properly covered or it may give him just cause to stop speaking to me later in life.

we have the same little bathtub, and I used it as long as I could for Noah, and now for Cullen. Looks like North is quite the splasher.... if you are not ready to move him to a big tub yet but need something bigger, I highly recommend the Primo EuroBath- its AWESOME!!! its huge- I think we started using it at 6 months and used it until Noah was a year old (or maybe longer). One side is for lying down, the other for sitting up. Plus--- it saves a ton of water over a normal tub, which I know you'd appreciate ;-) Amazon has it for cheap if you are interested.

Oh darnit, I had to go look and now I want one for him. It looks so much deeper than the one he has now which I think will keep him warmer now that the air in the house is a bit cooler with fall temps starting. That tricky Amazon linked me to the Sophie la Giraffe teething toy (also on sale). Ok, looks like I'm going to do a little shopping today...

wow that Euro bath looks sweet! Since my child is a giant, we may just have to get one of these too. Also, thanks for the vids Sonya. I owe you many now. Hmmm... looks like we'll have to video bath time tonight too :)

Thanks so much for the videos - how did you know we were needing a North fix. Hard to believe he's six months old tomorrow. Also your comment about life being a non-stop party at your house caused me to laugh out loud !!
