Diaper crazy

Ok, so it's official... I am a cloth diapering fiend!

I have to admit, I don't think moms that use disposables think, "Wow, maybe I should look at picking up the new Huggies... the look so cute, and I bet they work a little better than the Pampers I just bought..."

Then again, those moms don't have to worry about trying to get their washing routine just right so they aren't fighting diaper rash from detergent buildup. Oh well - I still have fun doing it, so the pain is worth it. Actually, when I have the wash routine figured out, it does wonders for Lesley's skin - and I don't have to worry about running to Target to buy diapers if I get low!

I do want to recommend a store online that I have had good luck with - Keen Bambino (www.keenbambino.com). Mandi has been very helpful in answering my questions and her recommendation on Thirsties Fab fitted diapers was great - they are SO soft, and work great. So any of you moms thinking about cloth diapers - give her website a look!

Hope everyone is staying cool and dry (sounds like a deodorant commercial) - we're looking for Monsoon rains today, and highs ONLY at around 103. Hooray!

Cheers,
Jenny

Sleeping through the night

When you have a baby- you forget how much you LOVE to have oh, 8 hours of interrupted sleep. It's heavenly - and I've finally gotten there. Hooray!

In the meantime, though, naptime during the day is all over the board. Lesley's asleep now, sure, but take her swimming in the morning - and it's really hard to gauge what will happen!

All the same, we're totally excited for the arrival of Lesley's first cousin - William Christopher.
What a cutie pie! Here he is with Grandma and Grandpa Long. We can't wait to meet him in person!

Also - for all 3 of you that actually read my blog, check out the newest link for Babysteals.com. It's like WOOT! for Moms. Great deals, one per day. But you gotta be fast - the good stuff goes quickly!

Keep cool everyone - and let us know how you're doing. We're heading to Colorado soon for vacation and family reunion... if anyone has a favorite hike, let us know!

Love,
The Watson Crew
