Colicky Goodness

Aiden's been crying every evening for the last two weeks. I finally decided to bring him in to Dr. Ally just to make sure it wasn't something serious. She gave us the totally non-helpful diagnosis of colic but at least we know it isn't anything to worry about. Now we just have to wait it out.

Cloth Diapers

Adam's grandmother Sue read an article in Guideposts about the woman who started babyworks. It's based in Portland and they carry a variety of green baby products, including really cool cloth diapers. I wanted to use cloth diapers but with all the craziness of the last six weeks I let the idea go. Now that we're settling into a routine I decided to crunch the numbers and bite the bullet. I went ahead and ordered 12 of the bumGenius 3.0 diapers, they will fit Aiden until he weighs 30 lbs (hopefully he'll be potty trained by then!?!?) and they are really easy to use. We have 30 days to try them out and if we hate them we can return them for a full refund. I think we will like them though and if we do I will buy another 12. I figure they will pay for themselves in 2-3 months and we will have them forever.

Newish Pictures

Aiden's audience has demanded new pictures and I'm doing my best to comply. These were taken during Adam's dad's visit the weekend of January 26. I will post some newer pictures and videos later in the week.

Chunky Monkey II

I took Aiden in to get weighed today and he is up to 7 lbs 6 oz.

Babies for Obama II

We tried to go see Obama today but there were a lot of people there and we didn't want to wait outside in the freezing cold for an hour or more. Turns out we made a good decision because thousands of people were turned away! So now we're watching it on our laptop.

Babies for Obama

Tomorrow morning we are going to see Barack Obama at Taco Bell Arena here in Boise. Aiden is an ardent Obama supporter and insisted we go see what he's all about. We will let you know how it goes. Oh and don't worry, we know there will be a lot of people there but we will keep Aiden all covered up and safe from the strangers. But if Obama wants a baby to kiss for a photo op, we will make Aiden available.
