More Diapers

I have some "Infant" sized diapers that I got when Sarah was born. I used them for Sarah and Emily until they potty trained. But with the girls, I used PUL wraps, so the diaper just got laid in the wrap and the wrap hooked in the front. With Will, I have been using a Snappi with the wool soakers. This means I need the diaper to be able to come far enough around the body to hook the Snappi.





Here is Will wearing the Infant diaper with the Snappi.

















Close up you can see how there isn't much overlap of the diaper to hook.











My Infant diapers are getting worn since they've been in continuous use for almost 4 years.












I bought some Premium sized prefolds from the same on-line group that I bought the Preemie sized ones












Here is one unwashed measuring about 14 x 22½"












Now after 3 washing and drying cycles, (laying on top of the unwashed one) it measures 12 x 18"










I added the Infant sized one on top to see how it compares in size.












And just for the fun of it, here is the Preemie one added on top.











See how fluffy the are?













I put them back in the box so that you could see the difference in size from when they first came.











I did have about a dozen Birdseye diapers about the same size.













But they are quite a bit thinner and I didn't know how well they'd hold up to the Snappi.

A Start

After finally finishing Dan's scarf and then doing added projects of dyeing some yarn and two pairs of shorties, I got started on these:







Can you tell what they are?

Here's Dan modeling them for me!













They are turning out so different from each other, it doesn't look like I'm using the same color of yarn!










Here I am modeling them myself.

More Shorties

I finished knitting another pair of shorts for William. They are the same size and pattern as the Easter Egg dye ones, but are done using Patons Classic Merino in Retro color.

William wearing them

After I took Will's picture, Emily said, "Now me!" So I had to put them on her for a picture. She said she was a baby (notice the similarity with her pose as William's!)

Riding a Dragon

Sarah had to try out the new tire dragon at Grandpa & Grandma's house.

First Haircuts

I gave the girls their first haircuts this weekend.

Mini Vacation

My parents went to Traverse City for a week and we went up to spend a little time with them.

The bathtub was a "boat" and Sarah liked to play in it.

She even slept in it!

Emily slept in the corner.

William slept in a Pack-n-Play

We couldn't be right on the beach and not play in the sand!

Here are a few shots of William and Emily laying on the floor.
