9 month pigtails and fluffy butt!

I've been thinking about starting to cloth diaper for a while now.  A lot of my friends do it and love it! I had to get Will on board though since he's with Hayden during the day.  Well, I got some gDiapers and we tried them out a couple of times.  I got the flushable inserts for out and about and the cloth inserts for home.  Well, I just ordered 12 more cloth inserts because 6 just isn't going to be enough.  I'll give a further update when  I use them for a while.  They are just so stinkin' cute!  Plus I feel like I'm doing my part a little more with going green.  I'd really like to stay home next year and it may be possible, tight, but possible especially if we do little things to go a little greener, like cloth diapering.  Plus, my friend just shared a recipe for making laundry detergent that I really want to try! 

She's so stinkin' cute if I do say so myself! (The bruise is from falling into the coffee table!)

Helping Mommy with laundry!

Taking monthly pictures is definitely more difficult with her on the move!

I wish this would rotate! Look at that cute fluffy butt! This is one of her cloth diapers!

Attack of the boogies!

Hayden's had her first boogie attack! It started last Saturday.  Poor baby has been dripping from the nose ever since.  She doesn't act sick or anything else, she's just got a bum nose.  We've been keeping the humidifier on in her room, rubbing her with Baby Vicks, and using the booger sucker to suck her boogers.

Anyway, here's some new photos!

Found some address labels to take apart!

Rolling with stickers all over her!

Like mommy like daugher! The girl LOOOVES her shoes! Forget toys!

Trying to escape the camera!

Another favorite activity is organizing DVD's.  Well, maybe not organizing so much as pulling them all out on the bottom shelf and throwing them on the floor and chewing on some.

Rodeo Playdate!

Hayden and I got to go on a playdate with some friends from work on Thursday.  I sure do love Rodeo Break! It's a sweet little taste of what life is like being a stay at home mom.  Well... we went to Case Park at 22nd and Bonanza.  That is the cutest park! I had never even heard of it, but they have a great little grassy area and a butterfly garden.  We had lots of friends to play with and got to swing on the park swings for the first time!

Hayden loving swinging!

Hayden swinging next to friend, Morgan!

We tried to get the babies together for a picture... notice, Hayden's not in it... she's always on the move now!

You'll see the progression of her moving...

She was more interested in sitting up and staring at Ben!

Hi Ben!

A neglected blog...

Whoopsy... It's been a loooong time since I've posted.  I'm sorry to those of you who actually follow my blog! This going to be a little bit all over the place, but bear with me!

Hayden has turned 8 months old! I can't even believe it! It seems like just yesterday I was pregnant with her! She's really turning into a little person now! She has such a bubbly personality! I grow more and more in love with her each day!

She's crawling (well... more of the inchworm crawl) and pulling herself up to things.  She absolutely loves her little light up music table.  She plays with it all of the time!

We went to Vail Pride Day on her 8 month birthday, Feb. 20th. It was POURING... but Hayden was nicely bundled up to me in the Sleepy Wrap.  She had a good time and wore her Sycamore onesie! Gotta represent!

Phone pic Hall of Fame

Looking through my phone, I remembered that I have some really great pictures on there! I figured that it'd be a great post to share them! 

Teacher of the Year

Yes, that's me... I earned that nomination yesterday. (Yes, that is complete SARCASM.)  I think I sent home roughly 18 yellow cards yesterday.  Out of my class of 28 students, I had about 10 who were worthy of keeping their good behavior.  I was so frustrated with the behavior of my class from the moment I came back to work in Quarter 2, they just didn't get how to behave and yesterday was the tip of the iceberg.  I hate having to be mean, but come on! I mean what I say.  So yes, either I totally should hand back my nomination of teacher of the year.... OR... I completely deserve it for handling these 28 crazy, 6 and 7 year olds.  I don't know, but probably more so the first choice.
