Bumgenius

We took the plunge! I went to a cloth diapering class at my favorite place, Well Rounded Mamma. The class was led by Jackie Gorgiou who is a doula, lactation specialist, hypnobirthing educator, owner of the Well Rounded Mamma boutique AND she is 36 weeks pregnant! Jackie was awesome. She shared her journey to cloth diapering which I totally related too. She answered all of my questions and she made it seem so easy and doable. The next day I went back to WRM and bought six Bumgenius 3.0 one size diapers to start off. Jackie was so helpful. I was so excited to get home and wash my new cloth diapers. It has been almost a week and I must say the transition has been really easy. I still use Earth's Best diapers when I'm washing and drying the cloth diapers. As soon as the new colors come into WRM I am going to buy six more cloth diapers. I might even try Happy Heinys since they have great bold colors and really cute prints. Who says doo doo diapers can't be fashionable? :)

My Boys

This past weekend we had a lovely visit from my dear friends Quincy and Deondray. I have known Dee since high school. They are co-producing the LoveBScott show and they came to Vegas to do interview Mariah Carey. They also are the creators of the critically a claimed series The DL Chronicles. I am so so proud of them and all their achievements over the years. Let me keep bragging about them and say that Nainoa is sporting a Yoga Babies onesie. Quincy created these characters and you can purchase his book, The Yoga Babies: 31 Days of Wisdom on Amazon. It was soooo good to see them and have some quality time, eating Lola's adobo and just laughing! Love my boys!

Pumkin Park Fun

Saturday I took Nainoa to the Pumkin Festival. It was a gorgeous day. Not too hot but just right. I met my good friend Lisa who owns, Under Your Woof. She was a precious 2 month old boy named Harrison. Check him out in his cute Halloween outfit.

18 Weeks

Nainoa is 18 weeks today. We are so excited that we are going to visit Mish & Kaiyayai for Halloween we decided to dress up early and do a photo shoot with the dogs. It will be baby's first time on the airplane. This will be our trial run before our big trip in December to Hawaii.

This week Nainoa has been waking up at 3 or 4 in the morning reciting Shakespeare. He wakes up and starts his monologue and I desperately try and sling him back to sleep. Last night it only took a half an hour, the other night it took Daddy an hour and a half. He's so much more vocal now a days. He loves to grab things. He's also fascinated with lights. Oh and if he's on his back and he wants to practice standing he will definitely let you know. He gets mad and starts screaming, but once he's standing he's all smiles. We've been practicing sitting up, but he just topples over. He can hold it for a bout a second. Still no roll over. I'm not worried though, I know he'll do it one of these days. Tomorrow Eye goes to Aruba for 4 days. We are going to miss him, especially when Nainoa starts talking story at 4 in the morning!
