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.

I'm shocked at the price of diapers! I used to think it was super expensive to buy a dozen cloth diapers for $25.00. But they weren't high tech like these are. I can understand having only 6 of them. Seems like you'd run out, though, every day.
Harlo is looking adorable - looks like he's really strong and alert. Isn't it fun?

it's super fun!! he's really strong, and very alert. his eye contact is amazing, and he's laughing now. i just love him so so so so much. motherhood is wonderful.
the cloth diapers are great. i alternate them w/ disposables. they're pretty high tech, which is why they're so expensive: made of micro fleece and some special kind of wool inserts.
way to rock the cloth diapers! I rallied for them for Lucy but alas my stomach proved too weak (or something like that;)
After speaking with Jake yesterday and perusing through our "comments" on old posts I see that you and Jake caught us red handed! A stop in Chico with no adoration of Harlo is simply criminal, and I am no more than a guilty putz. Our stop was actually quite unplanned, en route to Trinity, but nevertheless leaves us without excuse. I hope this does not jeopardize the arranged wedding for the two:)
Harlo sounds like he's becoming a sprightly little fella and we can't wait to meet him. More posts!!
