Our Big Boy

So, I really only have this blog for Blake's grandparent's and other family and friends to see his growth and development while we are so far away in Indianapolis. So, that's why yet another post is about our little boy. He's been going through a growth spurt and I feel like I can practically see him growing. It is a really fun time and we are enjoying him so much.

Here is a video of Blake standing (with assistance of course). When I watch the videos I take, I realize that I repeat myself frequently with him, haha. Sorry about the angle, I always do these myself, so the camera was on the ground part of the time.

Along with the increased intake of food during this growth spurt, he's also increased how wet his diapers are when we change him. It's forced me to buy the next largest size of inserts for our cloth diapers. They are definitely more bulky than disposables, but his bottom is much healthier wearing these than the disposables, so I'm really glad we have them as an option. Plus, I really wanted to use them after hearing that disposables don't decompose for hundreds of years and Scott and I are pretty aware about filling our landfills, so cloth was a natural choice for us.

They've sure improved cloth diapers. These are a one-size shell with snaps to adjust as he grows with 3 different sizes for inserts. We only have 4 shells so I like them better than the pocket ones, where you have to wash the shell and insert every time you change the child. Here's what they look like:
