New pics

Maddie has become such a ham these days. She is always cheesing it up for the camera. Some more pics of her misc cute diapers.

New pics and a rough weekend

"Grazing"

Moooooo!

Come here bunny!

Nom nom nom

Shield your eyes!!

Here are some more fluffy butt pics. Neon yellow (I didn't realize it was that bright when I bought it) and cow print. Maddie was unfortunately very sick this past weekend. She woke up from her nap Friday evening with a fever of 103. I brought her to the pediatrician on Saturday morning and they said it was a virus and to just keep her fever down.

By Saturday evening both Tylenol and Motrin were not working and when she woke up in the middle of the night, she was acting very lethargically and shivering. DJ and decided to bring her into the ER to make sure she was okay. They finally got her fever down and we went home. I spent yesterday home with her and she seems to be improving slowly. Thank goodness! The cloth diapering is going very well. I love it and Maddie certainly doesn't seem to mind.

Look at my fluffy butt!

Fluffy butt!

An indian prefold secured with a snappi goes underneath the cover. I actually didn't do too badly for my first try

The cover keeps wetness off of her clothes

The great majority of our cloth diapering will not be the old school diaper folding with covers but I got a few covers and some indian prefolds to experiment with and they are a very economical way to cloth diaper. I'll take some pics of her in her pocket diapers as well. These are easy to put on and take off.

The world of cloth diapering

I have decided to delve into the world of cloth diapering. I have been thinking about it for a while now and decided to just bite the bullet and get started. I ordered some fuzzi bunz (12), a bum genius, two handmade ones from an etsy seller monkeysnuggles and two drybees fleece diapers. They are all pocket diapers that look just like and are put on just like a disposable. There is a microfleece insert that goes into the pocket along with other absorbant thing like hemp so you can adjust how much absorbancy you need. Obviously more for nighttime. I can't wait to get started this weekend. I am thrilled to no longer be contributing diapers that will be here for eternity to landfills and to save some money. I should recoop my spendings in about 4-6 months and will be able to use the diapers for subsequent children as well. I'll post some fluffy butt pics soon!

Her new favorite toy

Maddie is finally feeling better thank goodness. We went up to Massachusetts this past weekend for Julie's shower and had a great time. Maddie was wonderful. She was great in the car and with everything we did all weekend. Here are some pictures of the past couple weeks.

Poor baby

Maddie has her third ear infection in 3 months. I feel so bad for her. This is after the stomach virus this past week. I can't wait to have my happy smiley baby back.
