Going cloth...

I have been doing cloth diapers for about a month now and I actually love it. I decided to get the bumgenius one size diapers. They should fit Henry all the way until he is potty trained. I have 24 diapers which means I need to do wash about every three days.

Overall, it's been great and we've had a lot less diaper rash and no leaks overnight. Occasionally, we have a leaky wet diaper, but that is usually my fault for not changing him sooner. Basically, I rinse out the diapers every evening and put them back in the diaper pail with the washable pail liner until it's time to wash.

I put them in the wash and then line dry the diaper shells and put the inserts in the dryer. Any inserts that are looking a little yellow get laid out on the drying rack as well so the sun will fade the stains.

When I am out, I put the used diapers in a small wetbag I carry in my diaper bag. I can fit about 4 or 5 diapers in it. It holds the moisture and smell in and can go in the wash with the diapers.

After they are washed, I stuff the diapers and put them in a bin under the changing table so they are ready to use when I need to change Henry.

He seems to love them!

3 months

I can't believe Henry is 3 months old already. Some things about our not so little guy-

•He has been smiling since just 12 days old and we absolutely love it!
•Slept through the night for about a month but now he likes to wake up at least once and have a 5 minute snack. I am in and out of bed in less than 10 minutes so I really can't complain there.
•Is definitely built like his daddy. He is 3 months and a solid 15 pounds.
•Loves to lay under his play mat and grab his toys. He'll usually stay there for about 20 minutes at a time.
•Has started sitting in his bumbo and doesn't mind it as long as he is in a good mood.
•Loves when Daddy gets home from work. Starts smiling and talking up a storm as soon as Kevin walks in the door. Their new thing is holding Henry's feet in Kevin's hand and balancing. Henry is starting to get the hang of it.
•Henry hates the car. Cries almost every time we start driving somewhere. His new thing is to start screaming and arching his back as soon as you try to put him in his car seat.
•Still sucks on his hands like crazy. And I just keep the mittens on to try to break the habit. He's not giving up without a fight though.
•Everyone comments on how old he looks, most people think he is 6 months old. Maybe I need to dress him more like a baby since he looks like a little man already.

We love having this little man around and seeing him grow. It goes way too fast for my taste though.
