EXCITING!!!

Eli took his first steps today!

It was so cute to see Eli walking. I was so excited that both Bil and I were home for this momentous occasion.

Wow, that resolution lasted all of a month. Not even that. Oh well.

Let's see. . . well I have wanted to cloth diaper Eli ever since I was pregnant and now we are looking into it. We have picked up a few different kinds off of ksl and craigslist and I am absolutely loving them. Eli really seems to like them as well. He just got over being sick and had a pretty bad diaper rash and it is completely cleared up now. We had just been using a cream and the disposables and his rash was not going away, but we switched to cloth and we also started putting bag balm on his rash and it cleared up in about 2 days.

Using the cloth diapers has spawned all new projects for me. I sewed all of our cloth wipes and made a solution for them. I also made a wet bag to keep soiled diapers in until they can be washed. I also made a smaller wet bag to keep in the diaper bag. I am kind of on a green/cloth kick at the moment. My inner hippy is coming out. I guess that was bound to happen since I grew up in the Pacific North West. I just started making reusable sandwich and snack bags (They are super cute...I'll have to post pictures later). I am also making a bunch of kitchen towels to reduce the amount of paper towels that we go through. I am pretty much trying to figure out any way that we can save a little money. And it just happens to be a lot of fun making all these things too. I think my next project will be attempting to make a cloth diaper, well the cover anyway. That might be a little further in the future, but I think that I can.
