I began the journey of cloth diapering when carrson was 10 months old...that was over 2 years ago. Since then i've used many versions of cloth diapers and if it wasn't easy I wouldnt be doing it. And if you know me at all you know this is true. I'm all about easy easy easy! We've used Bum Genius, Fuzzi Bunz, Prefolds, just to name a few. Right now my new FAVORITE is called DreamEze in the cloth diapering world its known as an All-in-one or AIO I love it because its trim, usually with cloth diapers you get some bulkiness issues but this one is trim, not as trim as a paper diaper but still trim, and so so so soft on the inside its made with organic cotton and just soft as can be. It also snaps which is more durable than the velcro on some diapers because over time it wears and becomes shabby, and if your going to resale them which you can!! so you save even more money!!! than snaps are the way to go! I ordered mine from a local dfw mom and whom also happens to be part of my playgroup :) at www.simplebaby.com Shannon is the mom to adorable Coco and the site is awesome they have lots of cool SIMPLE things on there.
on another note Paisley is now 6 months old so now the solid food adventure begins! Its recommended to wait until 6 months to start solids to prevent the development of food allergies, and really solids are for fun anyway until the kiddo turns a year old because nothing has a higher caloric intake than breastmilk or formula. Solids should NOT replace nursing or bottles EVER and are just given in addition to so the baby can practice eating in preparation for their second year of life. We are taking an approach to solids called Baby Led Weaning more can be read about that here http://babyledweaning.blogware.com/ but it skips purees and rice cereals all together and Paisley is having lots of fun with it! We are too :)
We go for the kids' well baby check ups on Carrsons 3rd birthday, which is coming up way too fast! so we'll have an official weight and length for her then but I have a baby scale at home and according to that she is a little over 16 lbs now. She has been sitting up un supported for well over a month and she hates being on her belly so who knows when she'll crawl but i'm in no hurry for any of that to happen cause then that means i'll have to invest in a $100 baby gate to reach from the wall to the bar to block off the kitchen and i'd like to wait till after christmas to make that purchase :) Other than that the kids are doing great and we can't wait till christmas!
