Hasting & I were able to attend our very first Great Cloth Diaper Change today! We had such a great time & Hasting was such a great baby the whole time! For those of you who are clueless as to what this event is: every year people around the world take part in an event to break the previous world record of the most cloth diapers changed at one time! It is such an amazing thing to see the record being broken every year, just to know that many more people have either converted to cloth or chosen to cloth their new babies!

He was a tad bit cranky when we got there because it was right in the middle of his nap time. After his weight and measurements were taken he fell asleep in my arms forward facing out!!! Here are the specs of Hastings appointment yesterday: Hasting now weighs 15 pounds & 8 ounces. He is in the 64th percentile for his weight.

I've been wanting to blog for some time now, but last week our computer crashed on us & we haven't had the time nor money to get it fixed! So for now, it's writing new post by way of cell phone! warning: my posts will look different compared to the computer unfortunately :/ Before Easter we went out and got 2 baby chicks.... One for Hasting & one for myself. We didn't have a heating lamp the first night, but we kept them on our back enclosed porch with a towel over them. When I woke the next morning one had already went to be with Jesus, and the other was headed to be with Jesus :/ So, I gathered some small washcloths, threw them in the dryer, got them warm, and then placed them around the baby chick that was struggling. I got him back healthy, and he even ate and drank too! He also played with our pug mojo! It was too cute, it thought mojo was it's mommy! Sadly, although we got somewhat of a heatlamp, nugget passed away overnight :/ I've added a few p...
