Chillin' and Catch-Up

Most evenings for a while, this is how Tyler would sleep before I went to bed.
On his stomach, on the couch.


He's definitely much happier this way, supervised, of course.
And, right now as I type this, he is snuggled in our new Moby Wrap. I can actually use both hands to type while I hold my baby! Yay. :)
My sweet little infant is growing into a very chunky baby.
I love that though.


Brad loves to watch movies in my bed. So one day we were chillin' in there while I was probably cleaning my closet or something. It works best for us if I put a movie on for Brad so I can get some cleaning done when I need to.
Oh, and see those two dots on the left side of his face (right side as you're looking at him)? Those are, what we believe to be, chicken pox spots!
He had his shot for the varicella vaccine (chicken pox vaccine) and then a week later I noticed a spot on his arm and back, then those spots appeared on his face and then finally a few days later he had a cluster of three spots where the shot actually was on his leg.
He had no other symptoms though and apparently they didn't even bother him!



He likes it when his brother shares things with him so he loved that he was on the bed with him.

I've gotten back to cloth diapering. Well, I should say, I've gotten to it full-time, before I was only part-time. Back when Brad was almost a year I bought four Imse Vimse diapers and two diaper covers. I only bought that many because they were expensive. I had seen them on a few bloggers sites and did not do my research. Well, after a while they did not fit Brad anymore and would leak. Also, they were not very easy to use.
Then I stumbled upon Bum Genius.
Which you can see in the picture below, that is Brad's white one. He has eight of them now, all different colors.


The Bum Genius are a one-size fits all (due to the snaps for easy adjusting) and they are easy to put on.
After they are washed and dried I just put all the inserts back in and have them waiting to use when we need them. Although sometimes I'm grabbing them off the drying rack and putting one together as we need it. :)
We've been working on potty-training so sometimes we only use 2 or 3 a day!

Sweet little Tyler is not in cloth diapers. We need them all for his brother. After we use up the Pampers we have from when we had Brad, we'll probably buy the Seventh Generation disposables until he is bigger and Brad doesn't need diapers anymore.
Then he can use the cloth!


And, one last random thing for this long, random, catch-up post.
I have been using Pinterest and LOVE it!
I found this recipe and made it last week. It's really good! It combines my favorite cake and candy bar- Reese's Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bar. You can find the recipe here.
And you can follow me on Pinterest here. It's a lot of fun! I've been finding great recipes and craft ideas, among other things.
Happy pinning, as they say. :)

  1. Heather Tyler is so cute with those cheeks!! I also love Brad's hat, they are both such handsome guys! :) I am glad that Brad didn't get full blown chicken pox, but I had no idea that could happen from the vaccine. I also think that dessert looks amazing, too bad Dan hates peanut butter! :( Oh well, hopefully we will get to meet up at Bible Study sometime soon! :)
