Happy 6 month birthday, Zanthias!

Zanthias is 6 months old today!

New couch!

We got a new fake leather/vinylish type couch, so here are some pics. It's a sectional. The one side is covered because we didn't have time to clean it today. Zanthias likes it! It is pretty cushy, and was a decent price, we got it from a rent to own place that is going out of business.

Photo shoot!

We had a photo shoot with a local photographer today, and while we wait for our pics to arrive from her, here are some we took at the park. Zanthias had a ton of fun, and so did we. He was very tired on the way home (the carseat pics)

Fun with daddy

We DO have friends!

We went to our friends' house (Erica and Irving) to eat and play Wii on Friday. She's almost 30 weeks pregnant and very excited. Drew and Irving work together. They are cloth diapering too (yay!) and were very interested in babywearing, so I took over all my carriers and explained them and let them borrow some we're not using anymore. It's nice to feel useful sometimes! We've been able to share a lot of information with them about cloth diapers, and things like that.

Their baby shower is coming up in a couple of weeks. I'm kind of sad we lived too far away to have one, but oh well, maybe with the next one. I just think the games are fun and the food is good! They're going to have their pool ready, too, so we can see if Zanthias likes the water.

I'm going to make some cloth wipes, embellished prefolds and.... not sure what else yet-perhaps a soft crocheted ball. We found some great jungle print flannel at Joann's today (the nursery is a jungle theme-Erica even painted a mural on the walls!) Also found some great pirate flannel too, for only $2.50 a yard!
We had fun playing with their Wii too, and so did Zanthias!

New diaper

Look at my awesome new cloth diaper-yay pirates and tattoo prints!

strawberry pickin'

We went to a hydroponic farm and picked strawberries and lettuce with some friends today. On the way back, we stopped at some outlets to see if they had anything cute. We got him a couple of cute piratey shirts from Oshkosh B'gosh for $5 each. They had cute overalls there too but I wasn't willing to pay $16! The rest of the places had crap or they were expensive.
