You know how there are moments in life where you wake up and you realize that your world will never be the same due to a significant change, or in a mom's case, a new milestone that our babies reach. And then you catch yourself saying, "already?" Things like, "this soon?" and "surely it's not time" come out of your mouth. Perhaps maybe even a little panic sets in. "Man, I'm just not quite prepared for this," you say to your husband as it becomes evident that changes are ahead.
For me, those words and phrases came out of my mouth much more often the second time around. And much sooner at that. Simply because everything is happening much sooner, and time is flying by much faster. Because the first time around? You're all excited and jumping with joy. And not that I'm saying we're not excited for every new milestone with our Graham man, but perhaps we're just more aware of what these milestones entail. A little more cautious. A lot more hesitant.
Crawling. It's the beginning of a new chapter. One that my husband and I celebrated with high fives and loud voices {screaming and yelling... "look at him, look at him go!"}, but also one that left us scrummaging around to pick up every little toy on the floor, every little hidden puzzle piece and block, and anything else that our cruiser could get his hands on. Not to mention baby proofing all over again. Because with each baby comes a spew of curiosities, and this one, this little Graham of ours, I have a feeling will be one that will keep us on our toes.
So a month and half into this crawling gig and now he is cruising along. He went from the typical army crawl to fast-paced-I-need-to-get-there-right-now-crawl. He's a determined kind of guy. Therefore, when it comes to diapers? It's important for us to find ones that can sustain all the motions and movements of this tiny baby on a mission. Because we all know that outfit changes are no joy at this age. That comes with the milestone.
We have recently had issues with leakage and were excited to have the opportunity to test out the Huggies Slip On diapers to see if this could help resolve {and save} some unnecessary changes, help contain things, and make our lives a little bit more easier by saving time. We all know those are all crucial things in the diapering a baby world. Surprisingly, I had not realized how big of a difference these diapers would be. In fact, these are the first diapers that were dramatically different from any of the ones we have had, and in a very good one. Not only was the process of putting the diaper on so much smoother with stretch sides {see images}, easy on & off design, and a perfect fit for the standing baby {oh yes, we reached that milestone as well}, but it completely blew us out of the water with the leak protection. So far, so good. Actually, so great.
Because no leaks in my book? Means something we have not yet encountered.
Have a busy cruiser at home? Need trusted leak protection? Grab a box of Huggies Slip On from Target and use this $2 off coupon to save some money. Save some money, and save some diapers at the same time. You know me and my love for deals.
So now that we have mastered the crawling and now onto the standing stage, we all know what comes next... walking.
If there is anything that I'm not quite ready for yet, it would be just that.

Cannot believe He is actually crawling already!
ReplyDeleteWe just recently gained a little Crawler ourselves and she is everywhere. And her big sissy's are not making it easy with all the small toys they're leaving out!
Wow time flies! He is to little. My nephew and him where born around the same time so I'm seeing that here too.
ReplyDeleteAs a home daycare owner we see tons of diapers a day and change a ton too. But the leaks is what usually gets us and with this diaper you will get 0 to none. Great not only for crawling but for older "babies" too.
Crawling already!! Wasnt he JUST born!!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteWE LOVE LOVE LOVE these diapers!!!! While Breanna is far from a cruiser..and more of a runner...she loves to get into EVERY thing!!! lol
I cannot believe he is moving all around already! Our son is almost a year old and he loves to go for the dog's water dish and make a mess. He is also pretty good and getting the remote and taking it away from us.
ReplyDeleteCute little cruiser!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe he's cruising already! Where has time gone? I remember when KP started crawling it was just a few weeks later that she was walking! AHH!
ReplyDeleteI am going to have a cruiser in my hands in several months! Love being prepared!
ReplyDeleteMy LO just started crawling yesterday! It's our first so we are super excited. She's obsessed with going into the bathroom. Watching me get ready in the morning has always intrigued her (especially doing my hair... maybe because she hardly has any haha) and now she can jump into the fun (or trouble)!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I missed out on this memo that these were available. I will certainly have to check these out the next time I'm at Target! :) Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteKylie is 9 months old and gets into EVERYTHING! She's just started crawling and standing. I can't keep her in one spot for more than a couple minutes!
ReplyDeleteMy sons are now 2 and 3.5 so they are very active. One of the things they love to get into is into my personal products...they think they are some kind of candy;)
ReplyDeleteMy son did the "army crawl" starting around 5 months and did that for MONTHS, finally around 9-10 months he started to crawl "properly" and was into EVERYTHING!
ReplyDeleteWhen my niece first started crawling she used to go up to our DVD stand and pull every single one off... We have 100+ DVDs. She was a ness. Now my son is 5months and he is trying so hard to crawl!
ReplyDeleteOur 3 month old son just started rolling over. I see rolling all over the house in our very immediate future! The is our second one and it does come so much quicker and I am NOT ready for a mover!
ReplyDeleteMy nephew just started crawling and when he was at our house this weekend, he got into our dog's toy basket. Doesn't seem like a big deal, right? Well, our dog isn't allowed to have more than a few toys out at once because he rips the fuzz out immediately. The dog went to town on the fuzzy stuffed toys. Needless to say, we will be putting the dog toys up high when Braxton comes to visit :)
ReplyDeleteMy little one army crawled for a long time, but finally figured out how to actually crawl. She was walking in no time, and is now starting to climb on everything. She is into everything!
ReplyDeleteMy little cruiser loved to get into the cabinet to play with "her" bowls and before we know it her baby brother will be cruising too! AHHH! www.GloriOnline.com
ReplyDeleteOne of the little guys I babysit has a serious obsession with climbing up on the dinner table and throwing anything/everything off of it! I seriously don't know how he gets up there so fast!
ReplyDeleteI have a busy 19 month old who climbs everything!
ReplyDeleteI just recently got out of the diaper stage with my 27 month old but I have a 5 month old who will be cruising in now time. My 27 month old is an all out boy who LOVES to climb, climb, climb
ReplyDeleteMy little guy LOVES to get into CORDS! Computer cords, tv cords, you name it. The lamp cords are his favorite!
ReplyDeleteYess
ReplyDeleteWe love those diapers! I have a 2-year-old and a 3-month-old, so in a few short months I'll have two cruisers!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter...and she seems to love the DVD rack!!!
ReplyDeleteMy niece gets into everything! Whenever she's at my house, no cat toy is safe.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, a lot of my friends little ones are in the cruising stage and they love to get into everything - books, dvd's, clothes, toys - you name it!
ReplyDeleteI don't yet have a little one but hopefully soon!
ReplyDeleteMy little guy is 2 and I've been considering these diapers because he doesn't like to sit still for a diaper change.
ReplyDeleteHis favorite thing to do is unload any laundry basket. Clean or dirty clothes, he throws them everywhere! :)

ReplyDeleteEmily
My friend's little girl loves to explore -- especially anywhere her brothers and sisters go!
ReplyDeleteWhen my boys first started crawling I remember how they would try to head for the stairs at every opportunity. It was cute but scary.
