Cloth Diapers...

Yes, yes... we are still on the cloth diaper train. We only have 6 diapers right now. They're pretty expensive ($18.95/dipe), so we're buying one here and there. I alternate between cloth and disposable throughout the day. We either hand wash and hang to dry, or if they're stinky/messy we machine wash... I end up doing 1 load of laundry a day.

We have 2 different cloth diaper brands: Happy Heiny's and Bum Genius. I highly recommend the H.H. over the B.G. They're easier to use, protect against leakage hellova lot better, and I like the Velcro closures. He's never leaked or blown out the H.H. They're awesome. B.G. is second best.

We also use washcloths for the cleanup instead of wipes. I found the wipes irritate his little behind. It's better to use just water and a mild soap for the butt-cleaning.

Whoops... neglected the blog.




Is there anything more precious and cuter than your own child? I mean, seriously! Look at that face... so damned cute. He's growing fast and I can't believe it's been 2.5 months. We've put him on a bedtime routine, and it's working fabulously. At 8 PM every night he gets his bath, which he loves. Then, it's clean diaper time and a good-night feeding. By 9 PM he's asleep and will sleep until 5:30 AM. It's wonderful. Our days consist of feedings, diaper changings, baths, laughs, hiccups, spit-ups, and love. It's really fun.
