I gave her a cold wet wash cloth to chew on which was cute because she'd make a weird face when it was in her mouth but she'd chew ravenously. But again, she doesn't really have enough coordination to put it in her mouth on her own... so I think I might have to stick with her binky for chewing on.

Her teeth make my life sort of miserable.
Bobee has *probably* started her teething faze of life. Yikes. This means crying for seemingly no reason and lots of whining and eating stuff. Unfortunately she's not super coordinated yet with her hands so it's pretty much me putting stuff in her mouth to chew on. The poor little dear.

Her cloth diapers and my next project.
Okay, so I LOVE my cloth diapers. I ordered them off of this website www.theluvyourbaby.com because they were cute and WAY less expensive than EVERY OTHER BRAND I looked at. Literally, every cloth diaper I saw was around $20 a diaper. And that was JUST THE COVER. The inserts for each diaper (inserts are to soak up anything needing to be soaked up) cost their own pretty penny. But this site is linked to a small company based in Canada and each diaper comes with two inserts and costs $7 each. And when you spend more than $70 you get free shipping. Well, just to get started we bought 12 diapers (really the bare minimum if you want to do laundry everyday) which was a little over $80. That's about how much 1 month of disposable diapers cost. I LOVE CLOTH DIAPERS!!! They're also super easy to clean - it's not a hassle at all. And the best part is that we're saving loads of money every week we use those little things. However, I've just been using regular old wipes you buy from the store. They really don't cost much, especially because I don't wipe her every single time she has a pee filled diaper. But I'm kind of getting tired of going to the store to buy them (lazy or a wonderful opportunity?). Plus, I don't like wasting money on something that will be garbage. SO my next project will be to make my own cloth wipes! I found this awesome blog post that tells you just how to make them here http://www.myhappycrazylife.com/make-your-own-cloth-wipes/. And the solution you use is super easy - just get a mixture of water and some of your favorite baby shampoo. Badda-bing badda-boom.
I'm really excited to try this out. I love the idea of saving money where I can. Particularly when it's so dang easy to AND I can let my hippy side shine and save the rain forest (or whatever). But really. I feel good not filling up our beautiful gift of a planet with "disposable" (non-biodegradable) diapers. I'd rather be a little more self-sufficient and love Heavenly Father's creation without filling it with crap (literally).

Our bobee.
Being a mommy is pretty much the best thing ever. And being a mommy watching daddy play with the baby is even better!! I love watching Joseph play with Saoirse and I love seeing her excited to see him when he comes home from work.

She's so cute!
Okay, so there are two reasons why I love this picture. Number one, pictures of daddies with their babies are the best pictures ever. Number two, she is really rocking that cow print cloth diaper.
Holy cow she's so dang cute I could die. She LOVES bath time!! Besides the occasional splashing water with her feet, her favorite thing to do is to pee in the bathtub.
Oh my little bobe is getting so big!! I seriously can't believe it. She giggled for the first time a few days ago. We're patiently waiting for her to repeat the cuteness.
Anyway, she's getting pretty good at holding her ginormous head up.
