Home Again

This is my Moby Wrap. And I LOVE it. I don't usually (this was the first time) put Lowan in it facing forward. I walked out the front door and did not like it because his neck is not strong enough. So I turned him around. This is so comfortable and great to use. I have used it for walks and through the Bodies Revealed exhibit in Sacramento and at the park. Very nice and fun. I even nursed Lowan in it once (at home) and some times we hang out naked together in it for some quality bonding (it's supposed to be good for breast feeding).

And boy does it feel good to be here. The house was about how I left it. Kyle did not really clean up much, but he also didn't make a big mess.

Lowan in bed with me one morning for a photo shoot.

My cloth diaper order finally came (after being on back order for about two weeks) so I can begin deciding what type of diapers will work best for us. I ordered a few different types but am leaning towards these as our main diaper just from research so far. We'll see how practical tests pan out.

The view from the condo. Lowan and I hung out outside in the morning.

My bottle lids from Medela also showed up. I was irritated when I realized the set I had did not have the solid lids, only the ones the nipples fit in. So the bottle was all leaky when I went to warm it up the other week. I sent the company an email and they shipped them to me the next day. NICE!

Finally a smile caught on camera.

So I feel like I should change the name of my blog since there has been so little knitting as of late. But then, this week, I made some major progress on the second sleeve of the cabled riding jacket. I should be able to wrap it up in the next couple of weeks if I can maintain my current momentum. I went from about 1/6 of the way to 5/6 of the way on the sleeve. That is not counting the sleeve cap, but that should not be too much more. I will finish this sweater THIS year. Maybe even this summer. I kind of have dreams of entering it in our fair this fall. We'll see.

Teaching my grandma (we call her Moner) to use a digital camera. She uses those wasteful, expensive disposable cameras. This will let her take more and get what she wants and pick the pictures she will really enjoy!

In other mommy news, Lowan had his first major, real breakdown today. He cried pretty good at Carls Jr on the way home. I think I did not burp him and he was having some gas issues. And then he was really fussy and cried the hardest and longest and most upsettest ever so far once we were home (just after Kyle got home from work... not the sweetest homecoming). He was really over tired, over cramped from being in the car seat nearly all day. And he had been amazing all week, so it was kind of expected. However, it still nearly broke my heart having to listen to him and have all my attempts at comfort fail. I finally gave him some milacon (however it is spelled) and he went to sleep soon after that with some more love and rocking.
