Baby Face

The hot, sweet baby breath on my face.  His boiling cheek against mine.  Those little whimpers I could hear through the monitor gave way to crying and he now has a fever.  My poor little man. 

I am thankful for his health each day and I know that his immune system will kick this bug in a day or two.  

As I watch his babyness disappear, I selfishly loved holding him today.  I soaked up every moment of him wanting to be worn in the sling and nursed.   Most days he is running.   Today he was my baby again. 

Never mind that he is 25 pounds of love.....I carried him much of the day and loved it.  Praying that he feels better soon. 

In other news,  it's earth day!  Much of our journey of New involves our family to be more self-sustaining.  We have spent the past 5 years using disposable diapers.  I didn't have the resources when my first was born that I do now regarding the ease of cloth.  And, frankly, I didn't know a soul who used them!  I was also given MANY disposables as gifts which was wonderful! (see photo- or maybe don't). 

These great friends of ours never thought they would be on a blog when they did this.  But, as I tell my kids, your behavior has consequences.  Thankfully, they were wearing adult diapers behind the boxes.....

My point is that we love cloth diapers.  If you have young kids, are planning to have kids, or know anyone who has young kids I would be happy to be a resource for them. I love this local shop in Newton www.healthybabyboutique.com for diapers and many other things.

 Here are a couple of age appropriate cloth diaper pictures of my little man.....modeling traditional pre-fold diaper with Thirsties brand cover-
