Fun with remotes

The other day while I was at work I called home to see how baby Jade was doing. Ben told me that he let her play with the cable remote but didn't take the batteries out of it, so she ordered us a nice 1970's movie from On Demand!! Next she will be dialing Fiji on the phone!!!

Cloth dipes and more

We are converting to cloth diapers. They are a lot more fun than they used to be. They have snaps and velcro and a waterproof cover built in to the diaper itself. It is a slow process because 1) They are expensive initially, but save money in the end. 2) I bought 5 different kinds to see what I would like best. I am figuring out that you need different diapers for different situations, like nighttime. I even bought the old fashioned prefolds with covers! But, the covers have velcro fasteners and instead of pins you use a Snappi to fasten the cloth underneath the cover. That is the cheapest option. They also really come out clean in the wash! Even the really poopy ones! It's a cold rinse, hot wash, and another cold rinse then in the dryer they go! So easy.

We are about to add meats into the food rotation. I will make it for her. Since we feed Gerber meat jars to the animals at work, I can't imagine feeding it to Jade. It's pet food to me. So far she tolerates green beans, avocados, and carrots. We are holding off of fruits until she is about a year old. Grains will come in around 10 months. So much fun!

She is having what one of my friends nicely termed a "wonder week". She is about to do something developmentally and has gotten clingy and her sleep is disrupted. She did this right before she sat up by herself, so I know it doesn't last. She has started rolling all over the place today!
