First, cloth diapers, still doing well and I think we are officially sold on them. We have traveled to church and ran errands and gone about life... all in cloth! (and they are just so cute too!)
Second, in light of our little man being able to roll over, he is just becoming more mobile all the time! The other day I put him in his crib for a nap (the first time ever sleeping in his "big boy bed") as you can see in the first picture. But when I went in to get him, he had been on the move!
Third, Adam's knee! Oh my goodness! This is the part that has made life a little nuts! We thought he had just hurt it a little bit but after x-rays and blood test and a week of no work we officially know that Adam has gout! He's not fully done with this flare up, however it has started to go down, and he is using a wheelchair at work so that he does not put any unnecessary strain on it. We have a long road ahead of us for healing/management which unfortunately could mean more diet restrictions for Adam to help keep the gout under control. As you might have guessed a week out of work with a bum knee resulted in a lot of laying on the couch and bed with ice packs and heating pads rotating, but Bennett still needed some dad time when Adam could manage it. Bennett loves Adam so much - it's pretty sweet!
That's all for the updates, but I figured I would share the dorky thing I did last week! (Bennett got his in a box of hand-me-downs and I couldn't resist)
And last but not least, I think this shirt pretty much sums it up!

Bennett is just so cute and so big now! He does look snazzy in those cloth diapers! Hope Adam feels better soon!
I love those diapers. Too cute!
What is gout exactly?
Ok, about these diapers... where did you get them? Are they cheaper than the disposable ones? Regular diapers are OMG expensive!
In the long run they are cheaper with an initial investment.
The diapers cost about $18 per diaper and we have 24 I think. We bought about half of them as seconds so they were only about $12. We also got a special storage hamper for them and a sprayer that hooks up to the toilet (a must). Our total investment was about $400. They say that the average disposable diaper user will spend $1000 to $1400 a year. The naysayers will tell you its too much work or you "waste water" but its one extra load of laundry every two days, you use only half a thing of detergent and we dry ours on the line. And a little "wasted" water seems more friendly than 3000 or so diapers in a landfill
