Cloth Diapers

Well I have decided to start cloth diapering. I have been wanting to try it for sometime now and just decided to make the leap! I LOVE IT!! I did my research and decided to explore the different systems on http://www.cottonbabies.com/. There are a bunch of different systems on there, so I just started going through them and reading the reviews. Then I looked at prices...cloth diapering can get pretty spendy!! I settled on the Flip system. They have diaper covers and then you get the cloth inserts...they also have disposable inserts for those times when you are traveling and can't wash the inserts...which I love that option!




So I ordered them! I ordered a total of 18 cloth inserts and 3 diaper covers...dark pink, light pink, and yellow. I also ordered to packs (18 in each pack) of the disposable inserts. I got them and I was super giddy to start using them...so I through them in the washer quick so I could use them. You have to wash the inserts 2 times....once in cold and then once in hot. Once that was done I dried them and put Layla in them right away!! SO CUTE!!

WOW!

Yet again it has been WAY TO LONG since my last post! A LOT has happened since the last post about a new truck....since then I have gotten yet another new vehicle....since we had a mishap with the other one. I got a white Mitsubishi Montero Sport.

I really like this new truck! Let's just hope this one will last a little longer...



Layla is getting so big! She has learned so many things! Here's a list of her latest...

*She claps when we say "Yay!"

*She doesn't crawl she scoots across the floor on her bum! And she gets to point B really fast!

*She says "Hi" in the cutest smallest little voice! ADORABLE!

*She has 4 teeth now...2 on top and 2 on bottom.

*Her most recent thing is saying "No"...not really something I super like...but it's so adorable! She gets pretty sassy....especially when I am disciplining Gavin.

*She has a rubber ducky that she plays with in the tub...I started saying "Quack, Quack" whenever she was playing with it so now she says, "Kaak, kaak" but it kinda sounds like a growly duck!

*She started standing up in her crib. Almost everytime I go in and get her up she is standing up, hanging on for dear life to the side of the crib! She thinks she's pretty hot stuff too!!



Gavin is growing like a weed too! He is such a boy! He is LOVING that he can play outside now on a regular basis! He made a little friend with the next door neighbor...his name is Kyle and he too is 4! They have a lot of fun running around and getting dirty...what boys do best!



Cory has started flying now and he really enjoys it! They flew up past the arctic circle the other day. He said he's seen so many moose and wolves and caribou and all that. I'M SO JEALOUS!

As for Me...I really haven't been doing too much. Just trying to keep busy with different things...scrapbooking, bible studies, play dates.... So far Alaska has been pretty good! We are looking forward to the summer and having some visitors!!!
