Does this make my heiny look big?

We've been cloth-diapering for a whole week now! Woo hoo! The transition was not as scary as I imagined. I think I was most worried about the odor of dirty diapers waiting to be washed. But I swear, the cloth diapers are less stinky than disposable ones sitting in the diaper pail. I think it's because disposables still contain the "business" when you throw them out. With cloth, you flush the junk and then toss them in the pail. (TMI?)

So far, the pros of cloth diapering are definitely, 1) no more spending money on diapers, 2) no more running OUT of diapers, 3) our trash output has decreased dramatically, and 4) the diaper covers are just too darn cute.

The cons? Well, see for yourself...

Does that diaper make her heiny look big?

Jonah brought his Exo-Bonz bucket into the nursery the other day and proceeded to build a "Blaster Bug" with the parts. He was so focused and having so much fun making blaster noises (I don't even know how to spell that noise. KpoiKSHH?), he didn't notice me taking pictures. Gracie was totally content to chew on the bug eyes and explore the hallway.

Cuddle Bug

If there's one thing Michael and I do well, it's create wiggly children. Our kids don't cuddle. This was a rare moment, captured...

Just Being Jonah

Who Me?

We just made THE BIG SWITCH. The switch from point and shoot to an SLR digital camera. There's a bit of a learning curve, so we'll be snapping away all weekend, trying to figure this thing out.

As I'm reviewing the photos we've taken so far, I noticed that we're missing some real life details by constantly looking through a view finder. For example, Jonah got in big trouble this morning for kicking Gracie.

Looking at these pictures now, I see clearly what happened. Gracie (also known as Miss Puddin' Mouth) was making a bee-line for Jonah with mischief in her eyes. She proceeded to pull his hair, and give him a wedgie. Then she whacked him over and over on the back. FINALLY, he kicked her. And he was the one who got in trouble.


Somebody's not as sweet and innocent as she seems.
