Yes, I'm a HIPPIE!

Just call me a hippie. HA! I am a nursin', baby wearin', cloth diaperin', food makin' mommy! :) I NEVER thought I would be ANY of those things! (well, I always knew I would NURSE- just not the others! LOL!)

I started cloth diapering him about 2-3 months ago and I LOVE it. :) It's not as gross as everyone thinks and boy does it save us money. Jon even likes the cloths, which is funny to me. The diapers are simply adorable and sometimes we just wear a tee shirt and cloth diaper when we are at home! :)


Just today I broke down and bought the ERGObaby carrier. OH.MY.GOSH. Where was this thing the past 5 months? I had it for 2 seconds before it was out of the box and I was wearing Carter. He seemed to really enjoy it as well! :) It sure makes life so much easier for me. I had a regular carrier, but it is NOTHING to compare to this one. This one you can wear up to 40lbs, so I figure he will be able to wear it for a while. Not to mention our next few (yes, few..LOL!) babies will be able to wear it. It was definitely an investment.


For my Birthday my Mom and Charlene gave me the same gift! A Baby Bullet! Funny, I must have dropped a LOT of hints for it.LOLOLOL! :) Anyways, the Baby Bullet is AH-MAZING!
I have SO enjoyed making Carters food. The Baby Bullet is SO easy to use. I HIGHLY recommend it! :) Carter is definitely a growing boy, so solids are a MUST for him. We eat 3 meals a day and still nurse about 4-5 times a day. :)

So far we have tried the following foods:
Avocado- Carter LOVES it
Sweet Peas- NOT a fan
Carrot- LIKES (not LOVES) them
Apples- LOVES LOVES LOVES
Spinach- Lets just say I threw out a weeks worth..LOL
Bananas- LOVE
Sweet Potatoes- LOVES LOVES LOVES
White Acorn Squash- LOVES LOVES LOVES

I have found that Carter has a food allergy to plain white rice cereal. We have to use brown rice for him. The other totally upsets his tummy and he gets a bit of a rash.




The past 5 months have been nothing short of amazing. Hard at times. But there is nothing greater than being a mommy. Let me reword that...There is nothing GREATER than being a MOMMY to a LITTLE MONKEY!!!!!
