Eat, sleep and poop

They say that all babies do is "eat, sleep and poop". That pretty much summarizes Ryan and my time at home with him.

Eat: After 3 months of breastfeeding, I am starting to wean Ryan off of me and exclusively on the bottle. Part of me is excited because I won't have a baby constantly attached to me, but part of me is also sad because I will really miss the bond that I've shared with him while nursing.

Sleep: For the past week, Ryan has been sleeping 6-7 hour stretches at night. Let me tell you how great that feels. I definitely don't miss having to wake up every 2-3 hours to feed him. If only daytime naps were that easy.

Poop: I think I am destined to have children with humongous poops! Some of you witnessed this first-hand when Linh ambushed you with an email innocently titled "Nathan's baby". Well, Ryan is no different. He's a farting machine...mostly silent and deadly. And like Nathan, he won't poop for a few days, but when he does...oh boy...words cannot describe. Today's poopy diaper was no exception. 

Ryan's going to kill me when he grows up, but below is a video of him trying to poop. The result? A very messy diaper!
