Thanks for sharing these. I've been trying to figure out safe co-sleeping--what's the tan thing around Miriam's neck (or is that part of her outfit and just pulled up)?

[geminigirl]

If it's the outfit I'm thinking of, that's her arm.

James McKenna's book about co-sleeping is worth a read. We actually tend to use a co-sleeper, unless I'm in bed alone-we don't put the baby to sleep in the middle of the bed when Cayne is in it-his sleep apnea makes it less than safe for him to be next to a baby, even with his CPAP on.

Ah, I see. That makes sense. Thanks. :)

I'll be sure to check out the McKenna book. I think our plan right now is to sidecar a 3-sided convertible crib to my side of the bed, but we haven't bought one and set it up yet.

My goodness, that's the most enormous cat I've ever seen.

[geminigirl]

For about a year and a half, he weighed more than Naomi did-he's about 18 lbs of cat...the vet once said to him, "My, clearly you are just meant to be a big cat."

I've seen bugger cats at my Mom's-some of the ferral boys have weighed in at 20 pounds or more when we've taken them in.

He wouldn't come near me when I was holding Naomi for about six months, too, and yet, has no objection to Miri.

The cat looks seriously put out that there's a baby in her/his spot, but is obviously dealing.

And rock on!!

He's grumpy that there are even children at all. He wouldn't come near me if I was holding Naomi for the first six months after she was born. This time around, he's a little less cantankerous...though he still is really not pleased when Naomi tries to pet him.

Is Miri... fist-pumping? Maybe you were playing some Journey or something. Don't stop belieeeeevin'! ;)

We called it "Baby Power" last night when she did it.

Is that a gigantic cat? Or is it the angle?

Lol Miriam says Power to the People!

I can remember playing in the pots and pans cupboard as a toddler. Naomi is my kind of girl.

[geminigirl]

He's a big cat. He weighed more than Naomi until she was about a year and a half old. (At 18 months she weighed 21 pounds. At a year old she weighed less than the cat.)

Naomi's pretty charming.

And Miri says "Power to the Baby!"

Kitty!

Dear Naomi - drawers are even more fun, once you pull everything out and sit in it.

Dear Miri - Rock on.
