Cloth Diapers

We are on week two of cloth diapering, and I am LOVING it!! I am so glad we decided to try it, because it has been so much better for us than disposables. We decided to use disposables for Luke the first couple of weeks until he got a little bigger, because the cloth diapers we use aren't really suitable for newborns, and we didn't feel like buying one's that were, because they are in them for such a short time. Luke must have really sensitive skin, because he pretty much had a constant red bum with the disposables, and sometimes it got so bad it would start to bleed in a little spot. I changed him constantly too, and made sure he had rash cream on all the time. The past two weeks we have used the cloth, he hasn't had one diaper rash! These things are amazing! I love that it pulls the moisture away from the skin and the only time he has ever leaked, was only because I had waited too long to change him. Another benefit, they are CUTE!! I can put him in a cute diaper and a shirt, and he looks so dang cute :) We decided to use Sunbaby Diapers because they are super inexpensive ($5 a diaper) and they have such cute prints! When we first started, I thought that washing them would be a pain, but it's so easy. Right now I only have 12 diapers so I do a load every day, but i pretty much do laundry every day anyway, so it doesn't seem like too much extra work :) I'm planning on buying 12 more soon, and they have new prints since I ordered last, so I'm excited :) Anyway, just an update on how it's going :) Hopefully it'll keep going as smooth as it is now!

Luke's Blessing

We blessed Luke at home on Saturday, August 3rd because that's when all of
our family could get together. my parents and sister drove up from Utah, and it was Alax's parents last day with us after spending a week and half visiting. Alax gave such a sweet blessing, and Luke...well...

I seriously wish this boy would take a pacifier. I even made sure to feed him RIGHT before the blessing so he wouldn't scream the whole time, but he is a hungry boy! It was such a good day, spending time with our family and celebrating our sweet Luke. 

Everyone who was in the circle

I think this is our first family picture all together..

There really wasn't a good picture of my family. Someone was doing something funny in every single one, so this is probably the best one..Sorry dad..Sorry Marlee..

Thank you to everyone who came and drove so far to be with us!!
