g diapers

One of the contributions I am trying to make to the environment is using cloth diapers. Of course, leave it to me to choose probably the most expensive cloth diapers. But, they are SO cute. Plus, they are convenient. You can flush, throw away, or compost the insert. Or, you can use the cloth inserts and simply wash them. We do all of the above, except compost, I'm not there yet...

I have been really pleased with these diapers. Though, I admit, when we are away from the house we cave and use disposable.

So, I sort of love all the "trappings" that go with parenthood so far. I like choosing diapers that work well for Carver and are good for the environment. I even like changing his diapers, doing his laundry, etc. I'm not sure why I enjoy these things, but I do. Next up: making baby food. Which I am oddly excited about. I've been reading up on the whole process, and I'm looking forward to hitting produce stands this summer to find fresh, organic foods to prepare for him. It's really important to me to know exactly what he is eating, and to be able to control all his foods-- so I think this will work out well for us. I'm excited for him to try foods and see what he likes and doesn't like. Still a couple of months to go but I'm looking forward to the whole process.

Never fear though, we will absolutely be buying "store-bought" (organic) baby food for when we are away from home :)
