growing too quickly!

Jake is growing so quickly ... Will too! but it's more noticable w/jake. he is now in size 1 diapers and can fit into the small setting of will's bumgenius diapers; i think he's somewhere around 10 lbs and 23 in (began 8-7 and 22").

i thinking & researching about making my own cloth diapers rather than purchasing them again. my sewing skills have greatly improved along w/my confidence to sew the diapers. the diapers i want - grasshopperdiapers.com - are just so stinking expensive! about $23 PER DIAPER!!! multiple that by 23 diapers (10/day and 3 extras while i'm washing the others) and it's quite a bit of money ($523)even though it's still less than buying disposable diapers for 2 years worth of time.

i found this pattern on Nykibaby.com and am contemplating purchasing it to try it out. i love the cloth diapers i have now but wish they had a couple of changes. velcro wears out, so i'd like to replace it w/snaps. microfiber absorbs relatively well, but hemp, bamboo & zorb are better for the inserts. cloth is better on my budget, the planet, & my kids' bums ... less diaper rash. i'll let everybody know how it turns out.

will uses sign language instead of talking right now. he was "all done" holding Jacob after just a few seconds!
