Cloth Diapers 6 months in

We've hit 6 months of almost exclusively cloth diapers and I'm still in love with them!  We use mostly sized Bum Genius all in ones, a couple Bum Genus one size Elementals, a couple Rumparooz one size pockets, Grovia one size all in twos, and some fitteds.  For daytime and being out and about, the AIOs or Grovia's are my top pick, they take up the least amount of room and are easy on/off.  The RaR are a little bit bulkier but great for stuffing with hemp at night and still easy on/off for daytime.  Elementals are good for day, but not absorbent enough for night.  For night, I use mostly fitteds with a cover.  I'm a sucker for those cute prints!

Chris will even say they're easy!  It's overwhelming at first but it really is just as easy as disposables.

Homemade Baby Food

Making my own purees is something I've wanted to do since getting pregnant.  I thought it would be pretty easy and cheaper then buying from the grocery store.  Then I got this for my baby shower:

I can't rave enough about the Baby Bullet!!  In about 1/2 hour last night, I made 9 one oz servings of purees and scooped them into their cute little containers and was done!  I made carrots, acorn squash, and pear.  I gave her a little taste of carrots when they were done and she loved them!  I was on a puree high last night LOL

There's even a smaller container, so if we have leftover veggies from dinner we can just pop them in and not have to use the bigger container.

5 Months!

Audrey celebrated her 5 month birthday by sitting her own long enough to get a picture!!  It was hysterical because we were at my work so my parents were there, plus us, plus the two other employees.  Everyone was just circled around her taking pictures, it was like paparazzi!!

 This month was her first New Years' Eve which she celebrated by sleeping :)  And also the month I went back to work.  I was sad and nervous but I'm leaving her with Chris so that makes me feel a million times better.  Plus I was getting a little stir crazy being home all the time.  I mean we ran plenty of errands but just the lack of routine starts to get to me.  I'm not a CPA because I don't like a routine!  We've all adjusted pretty well I think.  I don't get to see her as much as I'd like but its really the best situation we could hope for, so I try not to complain.

We also started cereal on her month birthday!  I was the most excited member of the family for this :)  She seems to like it, some days she eats it all and some days not so much.  We're just doing a tablespoon of dry rice cereal mixed with enough formula to make it edible but not too runny.  It sure makes a mess though!

She lunges for the spoon but I think she most interested in chewing on the spoon! 

Audrey also learned to roll back to belly this month!  She did it a ton when she first learned but now she's not as interested.  She would much rather sit or stand then lay.

This is my favorite picture from this month:

We have a tooth!

I should clarify - we have a tooth nub beneath the surface of her gums.  Not sure how I feel about this : / One on hand its exciting, because it's another milestone.  On the other hand, she's getting older.  Not to mention, teething is apparently absolutely miserable so I'm not looking forward to her night sleep being interrupted.
