Cloth Diapers

I've always been intrigued by cloth diapers but thought it would be too gross and too hard. That I would have to put my hand in the toilet to get the poop off, I would have to do more laundry, and that I would have to change Jeremiah more often.

Once Matt and I made the decision for me to stay home we started looking for areas where we could cut back. I started seriously looking into cloth diapers. I know several moms who LOVE using cloth. After talking to them and research, I took the plunge! I order a small package of MotherEase diapers.

Today was the first day I got to try them out. Took a little while to get them figured out, but I've been really pleased! They haven't leaked at all and I haven't needed to change Jeremiah more then usual. Changing a poopy diaper was interesting. Did end up rinsing it off some in the toilet, well not me, Matt did. What a great husband and dad! I think there is a lot of trial and error in starting off with cloth diapers. So far it's going really well and I'm planning on getting more!

I think he likes it!

Way cuter than disposables!

Big boy


This feels a little different...

What a talker!

New bath toy

Jeremiah is too big for his infant tub. We didn't know what to do since we felt like he's still too small for the tub. My mom found this tub seat. Last night was the first time we tried it out. Jeremiah LOVED it! It gave him a lot more independence but kept him secure.

Bath time is Jeremiah's favorite time of the day!

Six Months!

Yesterday Jeremiah had his six month appointment. He weighs 17lbs 6oz and is 26 3/4 in. His head is 44 cm. He's right around the 5oth percentile in everything. Eric, our Doctor said Jeremiah looks great!

Jeremiah loves the nurses! He just smiles and talks to them. He wasn't a big fan of Eric. For the first time, he screamed when Eric was checking him. Guess Jeremiah is be coming aware of new people.

He was pitiful when he got the shots! One was oral the other 4 were in his legs. The oral one wasn't a big deal at all. He kept going "Mmmm" as he was taking it. When it was time for the ones in his legs, I was holding his hand on his tummy. As soon they started giving him the shot, his little face turned bright red, big tears rolled down his cheeks, and he screamed the rest of the time. Poor baby! Thankfully once I picked him up he started to calm down.

The rest of the day got a little interesting. My mom is here and has been dealing with allergies the whole time. Yesterday she started feeling pretty bad. She went to minute clinic and found out she has bronchitis! They perscribedsome good drugs and she's feeling much better now!

The past few weeks it seems like Jeremiah is doing something new just about every day. He roles from his tummy to his back with no problem, sits up for long periods of time, jabbers ALL the time. He's becoming such a big boy!
