Don't worry about it; that was not at all my experience times two.  Our
first, my daughter, was such an avid breastfeeder and grew so quickly that my
brother-in-law used to joke that sooner or later she was going to be picking up her
mother to breastfeed.  She was walking at nine months and once she got her
legs she soon demanded her own digs.  And, she turned out to be the most perfect
daughter and most decent human being a man could hope for.  It seems that
perhaps that was one apple which rolled away from the tree a bit once it had
fallen.

PS: Cloth diapers?  Good choice.  Although this subject caused endless
argument between my Sweetheart and me, as long as see never sees this, she was
right.  Oh, and you'll need more of them than you think you will.  A baby is a
black box with three ports, one input but TWO outputs.
