Crunchy Granola

No, not the stuff you eat for breakfast.  The new hippie, for lack of a better description.  Prior to having my own child, I had no idea that I would eventually find myself using this phrase to describe my own parenting!  Seriously, when did this happen?!  I breastfeed, I make my own baby food, I sew baby shoes, I have even entered the world of cloth diapering... willingly!  And I love all of it!

The latest in diapers: Yes, I wrote a big, long post about the cloth diaper inserts that I made.  Yes, they work well.  But they are bulky.  Mostly, they stick out kind of awkwardly in the front of the diaper.  Solution: I'm trying the old faithful Gerber pre-fold diapers by themselves, with no added core layer or anything like that.  It's working out well.  I'll still use the ones I sewed for overnight because they are a bit more absorbent.

Baby food: I read a great blog post that pretty much sums up exactly what I do for Aubrey's food.  I don't really have anything particular to say, other than you should read the post yourself.

Final note on the crunchy granola topic:We have started the weaning process.  I gave Aubrey her first bottle (sippy cup) of whole milk today.  I am unexpectedly sad about this.  That being said, people who breastfeed three or four year olds freak me out.  The end.
