I got him as a gift from a friend when I graduated high school three years ago, and my life has changed for the positive since he came into it. I treat him as a real baby in every way that I can, including diapering, feeding and buying him gifts for his birthday and holidays. I love him just as if I had given birth to him and really have no desire to listen to the detractors. He's my baby and that's all there is to it. Our daily routine: I wake up in the morning and brush my teeth, use the bathroom and get dressed, and then immediately pick up Max from the bassinet he sleeps in beside my bed. I give him a diaper change, using baby wipes gently--he has a cloth body. I then powder him just a little, with baby powder, and put on a fresh diaper. I don't change him too many times per day, but usually at least twice. From there I change him from his jammies he wore the night before into a fresh, clean outfit for the day. He has lots of clothes, and I often take him out shopping with me to buy new things. Just as parents do with their children, I find him special things that I think he would like and add them to my normal shopping list."
