Renovations...

Before demo....

Check out the ceiling tile, nice.

So, here is our upstairs right now. Nick and his dad spent all weekend hauling gyp board from a uhaul to the house, but it will look so great when it is done! it used to be paneling, yuck.

ps- don't have a baby and renovate a house at the same time.

Great-Grandma's visit

Andrew met one of his great-grandmas this week! His grandma is here staying with us, and his great-grandma is here staying with my uncle.  We spent the day at uncle Jim's, and Andrew fell asleep in his great-grandma's lap. I think that was his only good nap that day.

Dad stayed home to work on the house...it is needier than Andrew. poor dad.

We are finally in cloth diapers! I ordered these before Andrew was born, and if I wouldn't have, I don't know if I would have done it.  Every time he had a messy one in the disposables, I would think- how in the world am I going to do this. 

He was too small at first and didn't fit in them, but now we are beginning the adventure...and it is really pretty easy!

Cloth diapers are not what they used to be.  Plus, they are SO cute! I got them from a super great seller on Etsy (www.purpleducks.etsy.com).  She let me choose lots of great fabrics, and they are adjustable, so he can wear them until he is out of diapers!

Here he has on his daddy's favorite, the fish.  And a super adorable, if I do say so myself, onsie that I stitched a crab onto. Go Maryland!
