We still don't have our latching and eating totally mastered, but we are doing much better. Michael is a great eater but a bad latcher (he takes three or four attempts sometimes to get it right). Malia latches on pretty well the first time, but she gets lazy with eating and messes up the latch.
Anyway, I think it's time to try cloth diapers. We will start with only the daytime. Then we'll bring them in at night when we are ready. I have experimented with the different kinds of diapers here and there and found that right now I really like the pocket diapers. I put an absorbent insert into the fleece pocket. The liquid goes through the fleece and is absorbed by the insert. The kids seem to like these better right now, I think it's because they don't feel as wet when they do soil a diaper.
So I have 12 of these and we change them five times during the day (we change twice at night). So that means 10 diapers. I should be good for one day with my current stash. We'll do every other day of cloth and then I'll decide to either throw in some other varieties of diapers (Bum Genius Flip) or I might make a fleece pocket for the other diapers to keep them feeling drier. It makes them cry less severely. Or I guess I could do laundry every day - No!
In other news....
We got our first big snowstorm of the year.
Gigi and PopPop gave us their snowblower and we are so happy they did!
Lastly - we have a baptism date scheduled. March 6th. If you are interested in coming - let me know. I'm happy to have anyone come who wants to come. It will be in Hillard at St. Brendan's (same place Jason and I got married).
