Fail Blog: Baby Edition

Being a baby isn't always easy. You are very little and trying to learn some very hard lessons, like don't try to crawl over the bumbo. YOU WILL GET STUCK :( Poor kiddo I promise I helped him instantly. 

Sometimes being a baby is hard because you have a big brother you hides you in a box. But then your mommy rescues you, and its all good again. 

May Day

1943 Throwback

I rented my wedding dress and ended up not getting the dress I even wanted. Kind of a let down but oh well. Then a month later we had a second reception back where I am from and I needed a dress to wear to the reception. So I wore my Grandmother's dress (as I posted a few posts back). Anyhow it didn't even fit back then. We had to cover an opening with ribbon. Anyhow fast forward to now 4 years and two kiddos and it finally fits. It was super fun. Maybe some day I will actually get real bridals taken in it.

Shorts and Flip Flops

As a mom of a little boy who likes to run around like crazy. I am SOOOOOO EXCITED that we have a fence. Because we now have a fence, we decided to buy a grill and some patio chairs and have our first BBQ. I totally should have taken pictures of the our awesome family that was there but I instead was obviously too concerned with my own munchkins (better luck next time).  This was Baby Hoden's first time wearing shorts, and his first time on grass. He was not super sure about it, but he did really well.  Be excited tomorrow I am hoping to post our new family picture. I cannot wait to see them. 

Covers and All in Twos #3: Blueberry Capri and Coverall Review

Blueberry Coverall and the Blueberry (formerly Swaddlebees) Capri 

I am pathetically excited about these diapers. They are absolutely awesome, and probably are the cutest diapers I own (all of the diapers by blueberry are equally as cute). But before you buy either one you should know what their strengths are. If you decide to get them I recommend the irregulars or seconds or in this case the clearance section. I will start off with the Coverall (The cover on the right in the picture below).

Coverall: This cover comes in two sizes, the mini and the regular coverall. The regular is a 10-40 pound cover size. So this means this will swallow your tiny baby whole and probably won't fit well until 15 pounds. It has awesome double gussets for containing EBF runny poop and is cut so wide in the derriere that it is amazing over a snappied prefold or over a fitted diaper. The picture below is a prefold snappied (which is what I do as there are no flaps to hold a prefold in place otherwise.

Capri: Also comes in two size the one and the 2. They say that they are 6-18 and 15-35. I think the size two will fit pretty freaking big too, I honestly can't see how it is smaller than the coverall. It is cut just as wide and is great for over snappied prefolds and over fitteds too. It also is an All in Two in that it has awesome flaps for holding prefolds or inserts laid in the cover. We have not used it that way yet but plan to soon.

Ultimately, they are totally worth the money. They are quality made diapers that I hope will last a long time (they sure will fit for a long time). But just remember if your baby is itty bitty or has tiny thighs you need the smaller sizes or possibly a different cover altogether. You see these thighs? Not tiny:)

No Shirt No Shoes No Problems

Okay so not really at the beach sipping virgin pina coladas, but a cloudy Saturday at home in pajamas is pretty awesome too. I am so blessed to have these three awesome guys in my life. I love you so much. 

Then and Now!

Since Hoden had his colostomy take down surgery he has been able to finally wear the 6-12 month clothes his older brother wore. Its been crazy going back through old photos, remembering when they were take. So crazy to think that my toddler was a baby just like Hoden is now. 

 The picture on the left was two weeks ago the picture on the right is from February 2011, crazy hair but I love it.  I love my little cuties. 

These are taken in January 2011 (so six months old) and early March 2013 at 5.5 months

I freaking love this little shirt and the two munchkins who have worn it. 

Oh man what freaking cuties!
