Look-alike Meter

We can finally put to rest once and for all the debate over who Philip resembles more... the results are in!

I'm fairly certain we could not have had a child who was a more perfect blend of me and Phil!

It took us a while to get to this point, but Philip is officially a cloth-diapered baby! Nearly 5 months old and already doing his part to save the planet! ;-)

Cloth diapers put disposables to shame! Our favorites are Bum Genius, Sposeasys, and good old fashion Green Mountain Diaper prefolds with Thirsties and Wiggle Worm Bottoms covers.

Cloth diapering is so much easier and more fun than it sounds, and the ick factor is really no worse than when dealing with throw-away diapers. Blowouts in cloth are vitually non-existant, so maybe the ick factor is even less!

Here's a few great links to check out if you're interest in trying them for yourself!

Solids... take one.

Per our pediatrician's recommendation, Philip had his first sampling of rice cereal tonight. We're not sure how he felt about it, or how much was actually ingested versus worn, but we all gave it the old college try nonetheless!

Needless to say, Philip's first session with solids was immediately followed by a bath!

Sneak peak of Philip's 4 month pictures!

Philip had his picture taken by our super talented photographer Jennifer yesterday. He did such a good job! Jennifer photographed him at 6 weeks old--what a difference the past 3 months have made!
