Weekend Review

Oh, the excitement! After much waffling, I finally bit the bullet and ordered 6 of the BumGenius 3.0’s. Cloth diapering, here I come. I had everything pre-washed and washed again and dried and ready for a weekend cloth diaper test. The results to follow shortly.

Saturday morning we spent our time thoroughly sanitizing all of Isabel’s toys. I’m tired of passing this cold back and forth, so I decided we needed to bleach everything in sight. We had fun with our cloth diapering adventures. 

Sunday we had a lazy morning of coffee (for me) and oatmeal (for the kid). The kid actually had peaches and cream oatmeal with real peaches and real cream. It was so yummy that I scraped her bowl for her. 

Later, we spent plenty of time crawling around and playing. After a diaper change (right after I started a load), I ran to throw the diaper in the wash with the others. I left the kid happily playing on her back with a toy held high. I returned to this: 

 

After that lovely shot, she decided to crawl over to the nearest electrical outlet and try to stick her fingers in it. Ahem. We’ll be baby proofing this week.

We took the kid to her first sitting at the JC Penney Portrait Studio. Oddly, I’m not that into that type of thing, but I love me some cheesy portraiture. They delivered! The kid actually put up with it all and we have some lovely grins on generic backgrounds to show for it. If you go, find a coupon. I was truly expecting some kind of bait and switch scam where the coupon looks great, but before you know it you have racked up over $200 in photos. We walked out with 11 sheets of pictures ordered for less than $50. That was it, the total bill.

We finished off the weekend with a visit to the grandparents. The kid was so exhausted that she fell asleep almost immediately after her bath.
