So the past few weeks have been jammed up with firsts… This past weekend LJ went on vacation for the first time. We headed up to Delaware to Rehob.eth Beach for a long weekend before the height of the season. We usually stay in a B&B – but who wants a 7 month old next door to them? So, we rented a house with our BFFs and loved every minute. Lj was a champ on sleeping, the car rides, the walks – the only big snaffu was we switched to disposable diapers for the 4 day trip and every number 2 leaked and she got diaper rash. Back in yummy soft cloth and all of our problems are gone. So even if we wanted we can’t switch from cloth now. The big debut of the trip was the er.go. I had been putting off buying it because of the cost but with the prospect for a long weekend walking on the beach, board walk, and around town – with a 17lb babe – we decided to go for it.. It was scrumptious.
In other news as Lj becomes more and more busy and more and more mobile my daytime breaks become shorter and shorter… Such is the life. I love it and I am glad that it is beginning slowly. It makes it easier this way.

What a cutie!
And I know just what you mean about the cloth. It’s so much snugglier. Traveling with cloth though is pretty impossible unless you have a washer/dryer where you stay. I remember those days. And the diaper rash, too.

Oh, I could eat her with a spoon she’s so scrumptious! And what wonderful luck you had with the weather at the beach this weekend. Glad a good time was had by all.

Diapers – you might try a g-diaper. We use cloth tri-folds with a diaper cover. If we go on a trip, we use a g-diaper insert which is basically instead of the cloth tri-fold but we do have to deal with the covers (we put them in a big ziploc). The g-diapers flush (you like tear off the side and the rest disolves inthe water).
Ergo – We love our ergo. Of course we also have 2-3 mayawraps, a karma baby, a hip snuggler, and a few slings my wife made but the ergo is the choice for significant walks/hikes.

She is really beautiful. I am happy to hear that you love your cloth diapers so much and the ergo… you are reinforcing those decisions for us. So thanks!
