One of the reasons it's been awhile in between updates is because our internet has been running REALLY slow. I tried to upload pictures the other day, & it took a hour & a half to upload 16 pictures! It's been brutal trying to do anything online. So, we finally called AT&T, & they sent out a repair guy. The tech found the problem really quickly...Moxie. Apparently, our precious little kitten has been chewing on our internet cords, & had cut through a couple of the lines. So, if anyone has any suggestions on how to get a cat to stop chewing on wires, they would be greatly appreciated. But, for now, our internet is up & running quickly again.
Last Friday, Reese had her first big trip into the city. She & I went to visit my friend Morgan & her daughter, Quinn, in Chicago. I was really nervous taking my first long drive alone with the baby. I was so worried that we would be stuck in traffic & she would need something, or start crying, & there would be nothing I could do. But, she was an angel in the car both ways.
The weather was absolutely gorgeous, so Morgan & I took the girls for a walk. While we were walking, we had 2 women come up to us & tell us how adorable our babies were. And then they said that they were going to steal them. Haha. Yeah, that was pretty funny. :| We stopped into a pub to get something to eat, and when we walked inside, we realized that it was a gay bar. So, Reese has been to her 1st gay bar. I regretted not dressing her in her adorable rainbow dress for the occasion. Oh well. All in all, it was a pretty big day for her.
The rest of last weekend and this week have been devoted to trying to find Reese a dress for my cousin Ashley's wedding this weekend. Matt is absolutely thrilled (and rightly so) that for every special occasion, there are now TWO females who need outfits. He had a blast shopping all week. He did. He just probably wouldn't admit it if you asked him. Haha.
Our biggest excitement this week was that we started using cloth diapers. I am SO excited about using them (I know, I'm a total dork). I absolutely hate throwing away all of these diapers, knowing that they are going to sit in a landfill. I also hate having all of the chemicals in disposable diapers against her skin all day. The money savings will be nice too--diapers really add up fast!!!! We know that it won't be realistic for us to have her in cloth diapers all of the time since we're on the go a lot, but we're hoping to keep her in them as much as possible, and just use the disposables as needed. So far, it's going really well, and her little bottom looks so cute in them!!!!
I think she was getting sick of me taking her picture:
Those pictures are so adorable!
ReplyDeleteAs for the kitten chewing on wires issue, I would suggest something like a wire loom. Wire looms can be pretty... industrial looking, but I know I've seen something similar in cloth before, I just can't for the life of me remember where now. If you're handy with a sewing machine (or know someone who is) they could probably easily make you one.
