Random Musings

As many of you know Nick and I decided (well mainly I decided and then he agreed) to use cloth diapers for Annabelle and everyone asks how it's going ... so far so good! Currently she is wearing Kissaluvs Size 0 diapers with Thirsties covers. Once she gets a little more meat on her we will switch to BumGenius 4.0.  I happen to think they look quite cute with her tiny feet and in Daddy's arms.

Thanks to a sling Annabelle enjoys being in the kitchen with me. Nick said I was more careful with my knife, so he enjoyed it too. He wouldn't like to take me to the ER again for trying to chop off my finger.

I'm starting to realize that Annabelle will soon be growing out of some of her clothes, so I'm on a mission to get a picture taken in ever outfit. So the new rule is diaper change = new outfit change. I'll work on posting the photos later, but so far this is my favorite:

In very exciting news, on June 5th - 6th Annabelle slept through the night!! 6 hours and 25 minutes to be exact. She slept more than I did only because I'm a night owl and stayed up to get some things done. When she woke me up in the morning I had to triple check the time to be sure. But unless I started sleep walking and can perfectly swaddle a baby during this sleep walk I think it's fair to say she did sleep though the night!


The other exciting event for June 6th was that Annabelle smiled and it was caught on video!

And in final exciting news Aunt Steph is on her way to Iowa to spend the summer with Annabelle ... she is looking out the window every moment awaiting her arrival ...

  2. I used cloth diapers with my first one as well Melissa! And my daughter's name was Melissa! It was a great money saver! The 2nd one wasn't that way as he broke out more with cloth so we had to use disposables on him. Love the pictures and Congratulations!
