Jake's 1 month stats

can we say "off the charts" and really mean it, literally?!? jake went in for his one month check up and i was blown away!!! here are his stats:

12 lb 9oz

24" long

35cm head circumference

almost outgrown 3-6 month clothes

he gained 4lbs in ONE month!!! and grew 2 inches!!! what kinda kid does that?!? william wasn't that big or grew that fast ... wow. then again, this little boy sure does know how to eat. it seems like i feed him every hour in the mornings and evenings with longer stints b/w feedings in the afternoon when he's napping. but what a cute little boy he is!!! i like 'em round and fat! my little butterball ... i could just eat him up when he talks, makes those baby coo's, smiles, and makes funny faces when his brother plays and kisses him. ahhhh, these days are passing by to quickly.

diaper bliss!

after some tweaking i have successfully made some cloth diapers that i am thrilled with!!! here are the specs:

waterproof PUL outer
butter suede inner lining
plastic snaps
pocket style diaper with zipper on the outside back avoiding all solid waste
hemp & microfiber terry cloth inserts
one-size (fits 8-40lb babies)

all thanks to mom's viking sewing machine & a diaper pattern by nykibaby. i'll be making more diapers for several reasons ...

cost savings in the $1000's

enviromentally friendly ... go green!

rash eliminating

skills developing

great for emergency kits & storage

here are some great pics of my little creations ... go cloth diapers!!! everyone should try 'em!

even a little fun & decoration!

i love you guys

exercise time

these cute little boys usually end up sleeping by the time i'm done with my walk or jog. it's the most adorable thing ever! will doesn't even try to get out any more ... he just loves his juice bottle and the view wherever we go. gotta lose the baby weight and get healthy again to keep up with my active boys. i can do it! anything is possible with a schwinn double jogger stroller with optional swivel front wheel. hahaha!!!

a look back at the Easter Holiday

We celebrated mostly on saturday with will's first egg hunt & coloring eggs. we hid some eggs in the living room since it was raining outside a bit. he found the first, opened it to find some nerds, and then wasn't interested in any of the other eggs ... only his nerds!!!

coloring eggs was fun because we used spray bottles instead of cups to hold the dye. it was so cute to see will squirting the eggs (most of the time) and having so much fun! you'll see ...
