Any naps? One good (like 2-3 hours) a day, and a bunch of 1-hour catnaps.

Color eyes? Brown for the time being.
Teething? Yup. According to pedi last week, he's cutting 2 teeth.
Solids? Not yet...but I'm toying with the idea.
What kind of bottles? A bunch of different ones. Playtex Drop-Ins, NUK, Breastflow, Tommy Tippee...
Baby shopping addiction? Cloth diapers. They're addicting.
When do you plan on TTC #2 or 3? We would like a 2-3 year age gap.
What brand of diapers do you use? What ever is on sale, or have coupons for.
What kind of formula or do you EBF? EBF

What kind of formula or do you EBF? EBF.
CIO? Yes or no. No.
Your favorite baby item? I really, really like the Fisher Price Seahorse. It is so cute, and the music is not annoying at all.
Baby's favorite baby item? Right now, her Fisher Price Ocean Wonders playmat.
How often does LO eat? Every 2 hours like clockwork, although today she pushed it back to 2.5. It was great!
Any naps? If we are home all day, she will take 20 minute naps every 2 hours or less (basically, she falls asleep twenty minutes before she's due to eat again, and wakes up when she's hungry). If we go out, she'll nap the whole time plus some time once we get home, anywhere from 2-4 hours.

Color eyes? Blue.
Teething? Nope, not yet.
Solids? Nope, not yet.
What kind of bottles?The Medela ones that came with the pump.
Baby shopping addiction? Books, fun coloured pants, shoes, dresses for next Christmas (I have like, four already. But clearance!). I am not safe in a clearance section.
When do you plan on TTC #2 or 3? I would like to start trying after DDs 2nd birthday; DH wants to start trying sooner than that.
What brand of diapers do you use?
I love Pampers Sensitive Swaddlers, but I haven't been able to find them on sale lately so we've been using the drug store brand (Shopper's Drug Mart brand here in Ontario) and loving them... plus they're half the price of Pampers!
What kind of formula or do you EBF?
EBF
CIO? Yes or no.
Nope.
Your favorite baby item?
FP Rock n Play -- this item is great for our small master bedroom because I don't think we'd be able to fit a play pen in there beside the bed... it's also very portable. I move it into the home office every morning so we can hang out in there while I check FB, watch Netflix, what-have-you.
Baby's favorite baby item?
His play mat. His favourite places to sleep are his Rock n Play, Chicco Keyfit car seat and his Bright Starts swing.
How often does LO eat?
Every 2-4 hours. Sometimes he'll do a longer stretch at night (like 6 hrs).

Yea he usually has two naps between feedings -- he falls alseep right after his feeding/diaper change, wakes up to play, sleeps until he's hungry again.
STTN?
Sometimes!
Color eyes?
Blue
Teething?
Yea, I'm pretty sure he's teething. He's been a bit more fussy lately, chewing on his soother and drooling lots (he's even got the wet drooly diapers to prove it!).
Solids?
Nope. I'll be holding off until the time between his feedings starts to decrease. Hoping that he'll last until he's at least 6 months old!
What kind of bottles?
The only ones we've tried so far are Tommy Tippy and Avent (came with my hand pump).
Baby shopping addiction?
Currently researching high chairs! I'm kind of over the clothes thing since he's been growing waaaay too fast.
When do you plan on TTC #2 or 3?
I'm hoping to be pregnant with number 2 just before Connor is 1 year old, but if it doesn't happen for a little while after that I'm okay with that. I'm loving this time I get to exclusively focus on him!
I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living my baby you'll be.
