As far as overnight, we had been using disposable, simply because they lasted all night with no leaking. Until three days ago, then we started leaking. And the night before last, the diaper actually exploded, leading to jammies full of the little surely toxic plastic gel beads and a bath before 7 AM. So last night, Doodlebug spent his first night in a cloth diaper. No Leaks! I used a double stuffed BumGenius pocket. He woke up at 4AM, I checked and he had dry jammies, so I just nursed him back to sleep. He was still dry at 6 AM. I only have one of those diapers, so I will have to come up with a different plan for tonight.

Oatmeal!

I am doing the pureed thing, but having looked in to baby-led-weaning am being concious of his cues to stop. So far he hasn’t really given any. Doodle has liked all of the different foods and is practically spoon-feeding himself. Either I load it up and he grabs it and shoves it in or I hold the spoon and he moves his head forward to get the spoon in his mouth. Today, he realized for the first time that he could suck food of his fingers. Very exciting! Foods on deck: avocados (as soon as the ones from the tree ripen), green beans, peas.

Beets!

So that is why I stopped posting. I would start writing a post about how awesome cloth diapering is going or the rainbow presents in his diapers now that we have started solid food and then my brain starts going no sitter, spreadsheet, save money, hand that rocks the cradle, missing milestones, just stay home, need a sitter, what if I can’t get a job later, have another baby, sleep, coffee, childcare, coffee sleep. So I post a picture. Captions I can handle.
