What a difference a month makes!

Just a month ago, Aislee was smaller than one of our pillows. It's difficult to tell from this photo, but she's laying on a pillow which is resting on my lap while I try to get some work done. Not even stretched out, she's longer than the pillow now!

Today we went to Palo Alto to pick up her portable Fisher Price Rainforest swing (pictures to follow). There we met a 10 month old little boy who was only slightly larger than she was. In just 1.5 weeks, she'll officially be an "infant" at 3 months old and no longer considered a "newborn".

Happy sleeping baby

Since Aislee was born, she's smiled and laughed (out loud and silently) in her sleep. In her waking moments, she's pretty quiet except for crying when she's hungry, needs a diaper change, and/or is bored of being in one place.

I mentioned to my dear friend yesterday, I don't remember having done this much laundry in my life, that goes for dishes too. Cloth diapers are bum-friendly (when changed frequently), but it seems as though we go through up to 20 diapers for changing and wiping up daily. At night, I prefer to use disposable so I don't have to struggle with the little plastic panty that goes over the cloth diaper. I just placed an order on BabyCenter's store for five all-in-one newborn diapers. They're made of cloth with the plastic liner attached and they close with velcro like disposables. Hopefully they'll make the whole changing easier on both of us.
I've got to remember not to comb her hair to the side. She looks like a little boy with it parted that way...

Naptime for Aislee and Dad

This photo isn't nearly as embarrassing as the one of me after I'd given birth (thanks Honey). Here Aislee and dad are catching up on sleep. For the first few days all of us were on the same sleep schedule.

We had decided to use cloth diapers as they seemed kinder to baby's skin and the environment; however, at the moment we're using disposables for convenience. At first, we were advised to use Pamper's Swaddlers for newborns, but Aislee's backside looked irritated and red after using Huggies and the Pampers. We lucked out on finding Seventh Generation disposables. They're made with softer material and are latex free. The ruffle that hugs the thigh is so cute too!

If you're in need of purchasing diapers, I'd recommend ordering online through http://www.Diapers.com ...you can use code: HEAL6039 to get $10 off your first order and they'll ship for free on orders over $50.
