Teeth, rashes, and potty training :)

Well, Lauryn popped her other bottom tooth on June 18, Mommy and Daddy's anniversary :)They are both pretty visable now, so hopefully she'll let Mommy get a good picture soon. Overall, Lauryn is doing pretty well. She really wants to crawl! She gets up on all fours and starts rocking back and forth. I think in a few weeks or so, she'll be mobile. I swear she took a "step" the other day, but Daddy thinks I was imagining it. Guess we'll see.

Lately, I've noticed that Lauryn has developed a rash on her belly and her legs. Todd swears it was from her cloth diapers, which I don't buy. I think either it's an allergic reaction to the detergent that we're using, or maybe she's allergic to peaches. I'm going to skip peaches for the next few days and see if it goes away. If not, then I'll try switching detergents and see. If I remember correctly, Addy broke out in a rash too from peaches, so we'll see.

Addison is doing pretty well with potty training. She now wears underwear all day, except for naptime and bedtime. She still has an accident or two every day, but she's improving tremendously, and it looks like my goal of Addy being dry all day by August just might come true!Anyway, that's an update from us. Take care!!

Lauryn has her 1st tooth!!

Yes, Lauryn popped her first tooth last Sunday night! She'd been terribly moody and extra pukey, so I figured something was up. I also noticed that she had developed quite the diaper rash and so I took a peek inside her mouth, and there it was!! Her first tooth: bottom right tooth!! I was so excited. I think the other one will pop soon enough, so now it's just a waiting game :)

So far, so good...

I am still enjoying the cloth diapers that arrived on Monday. In fact, I've ordered two more covers, and am looking at ordering several more diapers. Lauryn doesn't seem to notice their is anything different on her lil' bootie, so that's good. I thought it would be a lot more work, and so far, it isn't. Yes, I have to wash the diapers every night, but that is only because I don't have a large enough stash to do laundry every couple of days. Once I get my stash built up, I should be able to go more days in between washes. The only thing that appears to be different is that I have to rinse out the poopy diapers, but that's no biggy either...how many times have I had to do that with blowout diapers anyway :) I'm glad we made the switch, so hopefully in another couple of weeks, I'll still be glad we made the switch :)

Mommy has gone over the edge :)

That's right! I got my first set of cloth diapers...and so far, I really like them. I think they're going to be a great investment for our family and a good thing for both girls. I have decided to go with Mother Ease OS cloth diapers, and have recieved four in the mail. I'm expecting three more, and then we'll have to go from there. Anyway, I've gone over the edge and my girls are now in cloth ;)

Here's my starter set:


And here's Lauryn in her first dipe

Addison is 2!!

Wow! My baby girl is 2 years old. I cannot believe it's been two years since I was blessed with a beautiful little red-headed beauty. We had a wonderful party for her. We held a pool party followed with pizza and cake. Those are her two favorite things. I swear she was a fish in another life ;) She was very spoiled. She recieved a lot of great gifts to be used outside: a wagon, a tricycle, and a sandbox. She also got a lot of new dolls, dvds, and clothes. I'll try to load pics tonight, but it may be tough...you can tell she's 2. The tantrums have gotten worse :(
