Diaper duty and various other things
It's been awhile since either of us posted it seems. We played with colour and fonts a bit and then just forgot about the blog. It's been a bit of a busy month.
Chris went up north again to work for a few weeks, good timing as mom is here visiting for this month. I've finally got back to the gym on a regular basis. Lots of the usual running around for mom and I and also lots of staying home and relaxing. Chris's Dad Bill came home from his 3 week mission trip to Brazil. I guess he had a blast.
The girls have been growing like weeds, as usual. Lucy now grabs her toes on a regular basis, Kate prefers to lift her head and shoulders and look around. She always wants to be sitting or standing. They are both getting more demanding and are sometimes already whine for mom. They have also become 'strange' or 'shy' with new people sometimes. They are VERY giggly and find Rusty particularly amusing lately. That's rather fun.
Something I am especially excited about is that I finally managed to buy the Baby Bjorn Little Potty's for the girls....AND I have switched them to cloth diapers (except at night). I like the Bummies brand unbleached cloth diapers. I have found that I prefer the regular fold ones rather than the fitted ones. The fold ones make the whole cloth diaper less bulky...although they are still way bulkier than disposable. Because the girls are around 13-14 lbs they are almost into the larger size but not quite so I was having a bit of leaking issues, but I have found another outer pant by "Mother-Ease" that I really like and it fits quite well. I was quite excited because it's going to be way cheaper and I found a shop called "Discount Diapers" out near UBC and it is WAY cheaper than the other shops selling these diapers around here. Oh, A note to other Little Potty shoppers. Babies-R-Us is cheapest if they have them in stock but Boomers and Echos in North Van is next cheapest. I got mine at Hip Baby which is NOT a cheap store. :( Anyway, The girls have been great about going poo in their potty's if I catch them, which I do most of the time. It's awesome not having to change dirty diapers. I've been having them 'go' in the toilet with my help for several weeks now so it's great having something they can sit on themselves. They are so cute!
I guess the only other really new thing is Lucy cut her first tooth on the 13th...chewing on my knuckle. Ouch. Pretty cool, except they are so restless with the teething, poor things.
We start Baby Sign Language at the community center here on Monday. Pretty excited about that too! Hurrah for fun new things!
