swaddling. For the first 2 months of Isaiah's life he loved being swaddled. And then, all of a sudden, poof! he hated it. It's kind of funny that it happened last night, because 2 days ago the hubster and I decided to go against the advice of our pediatrician (who said to stop swaddling him because he's getting too big for it) and to keep swaddling him. I guess Isaiah must have been listening in on the conversation. Speaking of my pediatrician, Isaiah had his 2 month check up this past week and he is doing so incredibly great! He's growing tons and is in the 92 percent tile for height. Yowzerz! The Doc also informed us that we should start baby proofing our house soon because our little dude is going to be one of "those kids" who crawls and walks a lot sooner in life. super. He also said that we should probably start working out how we would discipline said dude because he thinks he'll be "that kid" who likes to test the boundaries and can be a tad stubborn. double super. So, to sum it up, according to the doc, he's got by stubbornness and the hubby's smarts. Sounds like a killer combo.

On the ECO front....have you ever stopped to see what kind of chemicals you use in your house? Or to see how MANY chemicals you use in your house? I've been making the switch to all organic house cleaners for the past few months and I have to say, I love everything I've been using. Seventh Generation makes great All Purpose Cleaner, Dish Soap and Toilet Bowl Cleaner that I love. I love the smell of it, how it cleans and of course the fact that I'm not putting harsh chemicals back into the water. My tile floors have been a challenge but I've been pretty happy with Mrs. Meyer's All Purpose Cleaner for the floors. A reason it is SO important to have organic cleaner especially for the floor is because a) my dog licks the floor constantly and b) my kid is going to be crawling on it eventually. I don't want either of them to be breathing in harsh fumes or to be putting chemicals into their mouths. I actually think John Travolta's kid had some sort of brain problems or maybe autism due to harsh chemical fumes. Bleach and other chemicals might work great, but you gotta think about what it's doing to your family's health.......
