3 Months...Already?!

Our baby girl is 3 months old...it's truly is hard to believe!  We have loved and cherished every second with her.  I have a hard time grasping that she will be crawling soon, then walking...talking...wow!  I stare at her constantly so that I never forget this time.  I kiss her constantly so I don't forget her smell.  I miss her when she isn't with me...even if she is still in the same room.  I love every part of her!  She is our everything.

She laughed for the first time last week...however we haven't been able to get her to do it again since!

She LOVES music...I mean really loves it.  Sometimes the only way to calm her down is to play certain songs she loves.  Her favorite by far is "He Mele No Lilo" from the movie Lilo and Stitch.  She also loves "Home" by Phillip Phillips.  These 2 songs can literally calm her down in an instant.  


She loves to snuggle...Mommy sure loves this too!

She is still our paci monster...sometimes it's like she thinks she would waste away without it.  So funny to watch her with it though!

She also loves to be naked.  When we take her clothes off...she gets the giggles.  She begins to coo and talk and kick and smile.  She's a silly one!


Loving the freedom!


She loves playing with her Daddy!  They have such a fun time together, and I absolutely love watching them together.

She also has reflux...  :(  She gets medicine 3 times a day for it, and boy does she hate it. I sure wish she didn't have to take it but it was affecting her eating so there wasn't much of a choice.

We can't wait for all the memories that we will make this month!

Our New Adventure!

So...this family has officially embarked on a new adventure!  CLOTH DIAPERING!  This was something that we had intended to do from birth but simply got overwhelmed with all the research when I was pregnant.  Cloth diapers have come a LONG way since my little booty was in them almost 26 years ago!  Either way after Adelaide was born I had simply forgotten about it really.  Then I was hit with it after seeing more about it pop up on Facebook from other friends.  It was then that I said...Veronica you can do this!  So Alex and I got into the car one day and headed to All About Baby Boutique downtown to do some hands on research.  I had always intended to do all-in-ones (AIO) or pockets so that's what the lady showed us while we were there.  Then she just happened to show us a different system...all-in-twos (AI2).  I was floored...where I had I been this whole time and why was this system a secret to me!?  So once I learned a little more about the AI2s we decided to go home and do a little more research before committing to a certain type.  There are so many different pros and cons to each system but in the end our guts told us to go with the AI2 system.  

So good we are done right?  No way Mr.  Now we had to pick a brand to start with a detergent etc.  So after more research we decided on the flip system which is made by bumgenius.  I am super excited to start this journey for 3 main reasons...1) I'm about to save thousands of dollars (yes thousands) over the course of Miss Adelaide's diaper career.  2) No more chemicals on my baby girl's booty and 3) no more filling landfills with diapers from our household!  Today is day 1!  We are in our first cloth diaper.  I'll let you know how it turns out!  Hopefully super dooper great!  I have no doubts in the cloth diaper way of life, it will just take some getting used to.
