Why adventures with William and Joshua? Well, let me tell you a little about myself. I probably should've started there, but hey, where's the fun in that? My name is Leah, I'm 27 years old, engaged to an amazing man and mother to two wonderful little boys. Can you guess their names? Yep, William and Joshua. My fiance is Steve and he's great. I think I want to gear this more as a mother's themed blog than anything else. I've learned a lot since William was born almost eight years ago. And I relearned a lot since Joshua was born almost four months ago. I've also added to that learning. William was formula fed, co-sleeping, disposable diaper baby. When he was a baby, the mode of thinking was still starting baby foods between 4-6 months of age, starting with baby cereal and only needs to be in the infant seat till 20 lbs and one year old.

Joshua on the other hand is exclusively breast fed, co-sleeping (yeah, I firmly support this), and cloth diapers. The mode of thinking now is solids start at 6 months or later, baby cereal is crap, and he needs to be in the infant seat till 30 lbs or 2 years old. Wow, how things have changed in eight years! He'll be four months on April 1st, needless to say he won't be starting solids as young as his brother did who started at 4 1/2 months. He has to wait till at least six months!
Seems this time around, I want to be natural with both my children. Joshua only gets breast milk and no disposables. (So happy we finally transitioned out of those.) I've learned to crochet so I can make them both things they need and my next craft to learn is to sew. I also plan to grow my own fruits and veggies. I make meals from scratch (most of the time). Seems life is different this time around for me. But a;ways a learning experience!
