Random Pics

OK- here's the deal. I had misplaced (lost) the USB cable for my camera- so I haven't been able to download pics for a while. The good news- I found it! So here are some really cute, but rather random pics of my adorable little man- who is growing up WAY to fast for me!


Cloth Diapers

When I was pregnant, I knew that I wanted to use cloth diapers, at least part of the time. Everyone thought I was crazy! But I have to say that, almost 5 months in, I love cloth diapers! There are so many options now- but I went old school- pre-folds with a diaper cover. Now, don't get me wrong- this is something for at home- I do not carry around dirty cloth diapers when I am in town! But as far as the convenience goes- they are not that bad. It's just a matter of getting into a routine. Just like everything else with babies!
I love the idea that he is wearing cotton- not chemicals. I love the idea that I am not creating as much waste as I would be if he wore only disposable diapers. And I really love not having to buy diapers every time I go to the grocery store! :) (Those things are ridiculous!) Plus, studies have shown that babies in cloth diapers with breathable covers have less diaper rash (James has not had any for about 3 months!) and if you continue the cloth, the babies potty train easier! You can't beat that!
So to all the moms- try it! It's really not that bad!
