And uh...Evan is 6 years old. . Cloth diapers is one thing I will not do....I can't imagine changing the loads or washin' em out. Changing a kiddo and tossin the diaper is what I am gonna do We are more concerend with big ticket items like a crib, stroller and car seat though only a one time expense....then the food is the other expense which is frequent. We spent lots on Evan since he had a sensitive stomach and had to get those $25 cans of powdered milk which lasted us like 3 days at the most each can. Oi!

Boobies??

I have to agree on the the cloth diapers and kids generally potty train faster. Diane needs to let little bit know that. Aiden will be 3 next week and isn't off the disposable diapers yet. Though I hear he went 3 days last week with out wetting them.

As far as food, if nursing isn't an option, I hope this one doesn't have the digestion issues Evan had. Once on solids, nothing like growing your own vegetables and blending them to a puree. Kids are less picky when they start out tasting the real thing.

TIFF you did well with the baby shots. I like both the color and the B&W on the second shot you posted.

Some good suggestions. And, thanks.

And thanks everyone else for the nice comments on baby piper.

G'mae.

Evan was pretty easy to potty train and was done before 3 years old....the tough time came at night when we would try underwear instead of night pull ups. That took a few months, but worked best when we would not let him have anything to drink after 730PM and make him go potty before laying down.

Nursing was not an option with Evan due to tummy troubles. We even had to give him soy milk instead of whole milk after we stopped with the canned powder stuff that smelled like dog food...the Enfamil brand. I think Evan finally started to drink whole milk around 3 years old if I remember correctly. I'll keep the veggies in mind...we'd have to store buy though. The deer around here eat all the plants I put in the flower beds...except the wax leaf and crepe myrtles. As a matter of fact, some animal (I think a boar) dug huge holes in my flower bed last week.....it looks like someone was looking for a buried treasure out there!

Texas has two entries, both weird. California serves up frog legs (Seriously, California?) and a hot beef sundae makes an appearance (that should please Puddle)

Some of those I'd try....but man, the arteries are hardening just reading about it.

Most of those things we just handed back and forth among friends and family. And baby clothes are in great abundance and always in good shape because they don't wear them out. We (and many others) found that unless you really wanted to spend the money on new, kids until they are starting to wear things out, and old enough to start asking for stuff, were actually quite cheap. Of course, Lisa did not work, but was a stay-at-home mom, so we did have to be a bit frugal. That sure sounds pricey on the milk, my nephew used what is likely the same stuff, but fortunately they were able to wean him onto cows milk later.

Clothing we will for sure get...if the wife doesn't get in her shopping mode. But our friends and family have long since sold off or donated their baby stuff like crib or stroller. The stuff we had for Evan, we gave to the family of the housekeeper we used to have who died in a car accident. We keep in contact with her sisters and they uses the stuff till it breaks passing it among the sisters there. Of course at that time when I point out to wife that we should be keeping the items for out next baby, she boldly states that we are going to buy new. I made her eat her words when we saw the prices of some of the stuff we had.

On a side note, isn't it funny though how the first born child in a family usually gets almost all new and exciting baby stuff, all the photos and videos.....then the second, third and so on child...they get the handme downs that are beat up and there are usually only a handful of baby photos and videos of them. I noticed that with my family.
