4-Month Check-Up

On Friday, Owen went to the doctor for his 4 month check-up. He didn't cry when we stripped and weighed him (14lbs!), when we measured him from tip to toe (24.75 inches)or when we measured his big ol' noggin (16.75 inches). He did a great job until he was given four shots - two in each thigh. Poor baby.No one likes shot, let alone four at once. He was pretty upset for a while, but slept on the car ride home and then slept again as we drove to Sauk Rapids to hang out in a hotel while daddy played in the '80s band that night.

After Sauk Rapids, we drove to Fargo and spent the night in another (much cleaner!) hotel. Owen was a very good boy once we realized he'd sleep a lot better in bed with mom than in his pack n' play.

He was all smiles and giggles for the other hotel guests in the lounge on Sunday morning and was a very good boy as mom and dad hit the Chinese buffet in Alexandria. It was a fun trip, but we are glad to be home!

Cloth Diapers

Here is Owen in one of his cloth diapers. We are trying to be as environmentally conscious as possible, so Owen is in cloth 90% of the time. We do use disposables (no bleach or chlorine) when we go out, and at night. So far, we have found that cloth is not a big deal at all! It's pretty easy, much cheaper, and some of the diapers (like the zebra one in the picture) are really cute.

Cloth diapers have come a long way since rubber pants and pins!
