Busy Busy....and a NEW DISHWASHER!

Well, hello again friends!

Yes, life has been busy. Lucky for us, the Good Lord has his eye on me! Our friends, Kelley and Brandon are going to be moving into a house down the street from us!! YAY! (well, don't get too excited yet--but they will close on it soon) Lucky for me, Kelley has been able to be here all week : ) So, in addition to Aunt Theresa in the evenings, Kelley has been a HUGE help! (thanks!!) Between dinner, errands, and overall keeping me sane, I have had a great week hanging out with Kelley, Theresa, and Brandon.

Theodore had a few doctor appointments this week. He has grown 1.5 inches (already!) and gained 1 lb. I'm thrilled to hear that (as from what "the books" I read say...new moms often worry about little ones eating enough. Besides...it's not like they have a gas gauge...they really should...so when it shows "empty" we know when to feed them!)

Also, for the curious minds...we started using cloth diapers. Yes..cloth...

I'm impressed so far. We will use a combo of cloth and disposable-but so far, cloth has impressed me. I like the super absorbancy and they seem more "leak proof" than some of the disposables I have put on Theodore lately. Yesterday I had him in disposables while I was out and about...needless to day while he was being held by a few of his new friends, he peed on them...oops...! Well, That's how he greets people he really likes, I suppose! Also, He likes to "slime" people (as I like to call it) with spit up. Lucky us...

Other things going on:
NEW DISHWASHER!

Like other things that have broken (air conditioner.....ugh!) Our dishwasher stopped working the other day. Lucky for me, I had extra help in the house, but none of us were a fan of doing the dishes ALL the time. SO...with the Labor Day sales, we were able to go to Lowe's and find one on sale...and have it installed yesterday. The dishwaser is QUIET and BEAUTIFUL and MAGNETIC! From the time we were married, we never had a dishwasher with a magnetic front...they were all rental houses and had plastic-so now I can get the ABC magnets for Theodore to play with on the dishwasher : )
