Plath’s Adventures

You can now buy good cloth diapers at many target stores, and on target.com. Bumgenius available here. It’s not the type we use (we prefer mostly natural fibers like hemp cricketts and cotton prefolds), but many cloth diapering mamas swear by them!

A mandatory cutie picture of Eleanore in a tie dyed prefold:

It looks like we’re going to be moving out of the apartment and into a house next month. I’m not looking forward to packing up all our stuff again after our big move a year ago (I can’t believe we’ve been here a year!), but I’m excited to be moving into a bigger place with a fireplace and a small yard and private patio. We’ll also be able to grill again!

Ellie hasn’t been sleeping very well lately, and I think it’s largely because of all the developmental milestones she’s hitting. She now rolls all over the dining room from one end to the other, and more than once I’ve caught her chewing on the dining room chair leg after turning around for a second. We definitely need to baby proof!

I’ve also discovered, that very unlike her mama, Eleanore is quite the social butterfly. She loves watching older kids play, and smiles at every person who stops to talk to her. I’ve been trying to take her to a few playgroups and am going to start going to a lot of la leche group events so she has the opportunity to socialize. It’s helping me to meet local moms, too.
