Quick Update...

Wow, I haven't posted in quite a while.

Travis is doing great with EC. We still have some misses, but if I am on the ball, I am able to catch most of his business.

The most common times for him to go are,
1) right when he wakes up.
I have to get to him pretty quick to catch him before he goes, but lately I think he waits for me as long as he can. We haven't had many misses.....

2) about 5 min after he eats

3) about 10 min after we start eating sometimes he will get sooooo squirmy and I will know he needs to poo.

4) sometimes I just 'know' he needs to go. If I pay attention to that 'knowing' I am able to catch what I would have otherwise missed.

Have we had misses? Oh boy. But on the overall, I am not washing much laundry that is diaper related anymore. Some, but not much.

Things that are making some things hard.

1) I would like to wear Travis more, so I would miss even less. But wearing a 19 1/2 lb baby for very long gets to be hard. I can do it easier just walking, like when we went hiking, than I can around the house doing chores. The up and down, bending, etc is tiring.
So, he gets to play on the floor a lot. That is a good thing, but then I am not as aware sometimes of when he needs to go, until too late.

2) I know that if I was more experienced in this process that there are probably some things that I could do better. I just don't know what they are! =)

Things that are making some things easier.

1) Living in Texas with warm weather. Travis runs around diaper free a lot.

2) No carpet. =D

3) Support from David. This one is huge. There are times that I get flusterated with it all, and if David was not supportive, I think I would be more likely to be tempted to quit. As it is, he is very supportive. He doesn't take Travis potty as much as I do, but he does sometimes when needed. Knowing he is proud of me for doing this is a real moral booster.

When we went camping, it was a breeze taking care of Travis. Sometimes he wore a diaper, but mostly he was bare-bottomed in the wrap or Ergo. It was easy to stop on the trail while hiking and let him do his business.

I need to take more EC pics. It is hard to run the camera and the baby!

Maybe I will get some up soon................
