3 G's of Ganuary
Giggle - 1st week in Jan she started to giggle. Little ones at first that grew to full giggles. It was almost like we got the first inclination as to her voice. Each stage has brought new insight to her personality and being. As much as we cant wait to hear her say Daddy or Mummy we want her to slow down so we can fully absorb each step.
Grab - 2nd week in Jan she made her first grab. Such a small thing but to see the concentration as she tries to "use the force" to get her hand to extend and take the rattle, grasp it and take it from our hand... These things we take for granted every day that we can do but had to learn at some time.
G diapers - We have started using the G Diapers. Very cool. Still getting used to them but it is the alternative for cloth and disposable. The outside is a like underwear which has a plastic liner that you stuff with a large disposable liner. This liner is compostable, flushable, or trashable. Did you know that experts speculate that a disposable diaper can take anywhere from 100-500 years to biodegrade in a landfill? This means that EVERY SINGLE disposable diaper ever used is still out there decomposing somewhere! Who knows it may not work but we are trying.
I digress... We are now on our first family vacation visiting Sunny Ontario then Orlando introducing Asia to my family. It is great to see how a baby brings a new dimension to a family. As I hear about what I was like then or we recall what my sister was like then. The hard part is trying to decide on the Grandparents names but I think we have just about sorted them out. We look forward to the further adventures in Babyland.
