2. We have also been spending a lot more time outside lately (I always feel a little "Little House on the Prairie" while I'm hanging out the laundry) and with that we are getting our fair share of vitamin D and Mav has discovered grass. This also means I have to start thinking about sun protection and since I'm not ready to slather my baby with sunscreen we got the little man a sun hat. It's reversible and adorable and keeps the sun off his head and out of his eyes. Also... coconut oil is a natural sunscreen and makes Mav's curls look delicious.
3. I am trying the "no-poo" hair wash (found here) and so far I'm not sure. I've been at it for about 4 days and apparently there is an adjustment period of a week or two... so we'll see.
4. Cloth diapers.
Seriously?
Yep. Mav is wearing one right now and I couldn't be more excited! 8 months ago I said I would never use cloth diapers because this reason at that. Then I got tired of dumping money into disposables and really, you don't use paper plates for every meal, it's a waste of money. I also have a couple friends who use cloth and love it AND... hardly ever have blowouts if at all!!! Yeah... I hate blowouts.

So I did way more research than I was prepared to do and finally decided to start off with 6 diapers, 3 different brands. Not a lot, but enough to get started and wash every night while Mav sleeps with a disposable on.
And they're SO CUTE! So easy too... the all in ones are just like disposable, but you throw them in the wash instead of the trash.
And since we plan on having a tremendous amount of children this should save us a tremendous amount of money and spare a tremendous amount of diaper rash and a tremendous amount of blowouts! :)
And Kyle thinks it's pretty cool.
