There is no word to describe this great experience and journey with baby Merlin!
Every day is different and my way of thinking and living is so much different than for my two first child.
Merlin is growing beautifully;
This month he maintain his sitting position a little bit more but not fully yet;
He is still teething and some days are not fun.
As he was very interested and excited to see us drink and eat, it was his first introduction to juices:
He first tried fresh coconut water (we are blessed to be able to have those, love them myself, it's the ultimate drink!), he loves it too; then he tried juices: Apple/grenadillas, oranges, and bananas,orange,lemon smoothie, just few small spoons.
Then he tried mashed banana.
We are really listening to his body and face language to answer his needs.
For the elimination communication, as he become heavier, we started to introduce a little potty (yes, this can be weird at this age but now I believe that elimination can be taught the same way than other body function!); we still hold him under his leg but now over the potty and it works great.
Each time he is done, he gave us a sweet little smile of contentment!
He can hold his sphincters about 8 hours at night. He turns and moves to gave us the signal that he needs to eliminate.
That's very interesting.
Sleeping is still a bit challenging as he still needs to be rock or nursed to fall asleep and he usually does small cat naps from 15 min to 1 hour during the day.
He must have detectors as he feels whenever we try to put him in his bed!
At night, he started to do 5 hours sleep but since few days it's 3 hours again!...
He loves being outside in the baby carrier, hammock or stroller.
and he still loves being in the water.
Thank you for stopping by and following Merlin's journey...
