20:15:19 misscrystallyn My 8 month old is conked out on the bed
20:15:26 misscrystallyn When's Sarah's birthday?
20:15:30 host_Cuddlebaby April 23rd
20:15:34 misscrystallyn Colin's is April 24
20:15:39 host_Cuddlebaby wow  :)
20:15:43 host_Cuddlebaby how many teeth?
20:15:45 host_Cuddlebaby crawling?
20:15:51 host_Cuddlebaby 4 and not even close for mine  :)
20:16:03 misscrystallyn no teeth (his sister didn't get any until nearly a year and neither did I)
20:16:11 misscrystallyn he JUST started crawling
20:16:17 host_Cuddlebaby really?
20:16:25 host_Cuddlebaby Sarah isn't even scooting yety
20:16:35 host_Cuddlebaby just starting siotting well
20:16:36 misscrystallyn he did that rocking thing for over 3 months
20:16:47 misscrystallyn He's been sitting since before 5 months
20:17:05 host_Cuddlebaby he's sitting completely unaided I'm sure...
20:17:19 misscrystallyn We were wondering if he was going to skip crawling since he's also started pulling up on furniture and me
20:18:14 misscrystallyn Does Sarah babble much?  Colin does and OMG the screaming for fun!
20:18:31 host_Cuddlebaby others on mydate due board are crusing already
20:18:42 host_Cuddlebaby and raspberries....
20:18:53 host_Cuddlebaby yeah she does.  much more than my first three did...
20:19:02 host_Cuddlebaby dadadadadadda  and mamamamama
20:19:26 host_Cuddlebaby do you cloth diaper?
20:19:49 misscrystallyn Colin says mem" instead of mama, mom or anything like that"
20:19:56 misscrystallyn I HAVE to cloth diaper
20:20:02 host_Cuddlebaby m's are hard to say.
20:20:02 misscrystallyn paper gives him rash
20:20:15 host_Cuddlebaby what's your favorite lcoth diaper?
20:20:26 host_Cuddlebaby doy ou have to use fleece to keep rashes away?
20:20:34 misscrystallyn I miss the ones I used 15 years ago with my eldest
20:20:44 misscrystallyn that was when the velcro covers first came out
20:21:05 host_Cuddlebaby you mean flat prefolds?
20:21:17 host_Cuddlebaby you can still get those.
20:21:30 host_Cuddlebaby tons of co ops for prefolds...and those are my favorites too.
20:21:39 misscrystallyn I used some of the gerber prefolds and some of the fold-it-yourself kind, too
20:21:48 host_Cuddlebaby how many kids you got altogether?
20:21:58 misscrystallyn Now I have the Chinese prefolds and those are more absorbent
20:22:05 host_Cuddlebaby yeah I diapered my brothers and sisters in the flats...
20:22:08 misscrystallyn I have 3....15, 12, and 8 months
20:22:19 host_Cuddlebaby we thought of a hundred ways to fold those huge birdseye things!
20:22:31 misscrystallyn uh oh...someone is awake and not happy
20:23:54 misscrystallyn now I get to type very slowly....he's on my lap
20:24:04 host_Cuddlebaby <nodding>
20:24:26 host_Cuddlebaby my 2 yo's in naughty spot and my 8 month old is on the floor, but that won't last long...hey maybe that's why she's not crawling!!
20:24:27 host_Cuddlebaby ha.
20:24:44 misscrystallyn I haven't tried the fleece things...I heard there is some soaking through with those
20:24:51 host_Cuddlebaby glad you found chinese prefolds....a huge improvement huh?
20:25:01 misscrystallyn oh, yes
20:25:11 host_Cuddlebaby I was just thinking about fleece liners to keep urine off his bottom....
20:25:47 misscrystallyn urine seems to be better for his bottom than whatever is in the paper diapers
20:25:48 host_Cuddlebaby you mean fleece covers?
20:25:57 host_Cuddlebaby yeah I haven't found one I like yet....even those I make!
20:27:26 misscrystallyn he never has let me leave him wet for more than afew minutes...he starts complaining about being wet while he's still peeing
20:28:12 host_Cuddlebaby oh my!
20:28:16 host_Cuddlebaby he is sensitive!
20:28:40 host_Cuddlebaby probably a fleece liner would be a good idea....
20:28:41 misscrystallyn he's been that way since day 1
20:28:55 misscrystallyn do you mean like polar fleece?
20:28:57 host_Cuddlebaby or changing often is too!!  you'll essentially be doing EC....
20:29:04 host_Cuddlebaby and potty train early!
20:29:14 misscrystallyn I'm afraid of wool...both my daughters and I are allergic to it, so I'd bet he is too
20:29:24 host_Cuddlebaby kind of...polar is = to the heaviest weight of fleece...
20:29:24 misscrystallyn EC?
20:29:36 host_Cuddlebaby the thinnger ones like micro is a batter choice...
20:29:40 host_Cuddlebaby less bulk and less $$!
20:29:55 host_Cuddlebaby elimination communication.....
20:30:00 host_Cuddlebaby I'll go find a url for you...
20:30:00 misscrystallyn ah
20:30:18 misscrystallyn I swear, he's training me
20:30:26 host_Cuddlebaby yeah, steering clear of wool is probably a good idea...what covers are you using?
20:30:33 host_Cuddlebaby that's a GOOD THING!!!
20:30:36 misscrystallyn diaperaps
20:30:55 misscrystallyn I only have 4 of them, but we seem to be doing okay
20:31:04 misscrystallyn (being terminally broke SUCKS)
20:31:28 misscrystallyn I used the plastic pants with the older daughter and those were TERRIBLE
20:31:35 misscrystallyn I hate changing a baby in those things
20:32:24 host_Cuddlebaby shall we shop together?  look what I found....http://www.earthbaby.com/
20:32:37 misscrystallyn earthbaby is a good store
20:32:43 host_Cuddlebaby totally agree about plastic pants....
20:34:06 misscrystallyn does anyone make covers with a waterproof liner that's more durable/thicker than the one applied to the fabric that diaperaps uses?
20:35:05 host_Cuddlebaby cuddlebaby.com
20:35:08 host_Cuddlebaby nappie wraps
20:35:33 host_Cuddlebaby baby just bonked her head
20:35:39 misscrystallyn uh oh
20:35:46 misscrystallyn do you have a boo boo bunny for her?
20:36:09 misscrystallyn I need to get one made for a friend who just had her baby on the 4th
20:37:53 host_Cuddlebaby wow, i totallyt forgot about those!!  I'll whip one up---had a couple when my day care was going...

20:43:03 host_Cuddlebaby don't know where everyone else is....
20:43:54 misscrystallyn and, he's found the pile of laundry I just sorted
20:44:01 misscrystallyn so much for it staying sorted
20:44:45 misscrystallyn if he keeps going, he's going to head out the door....it'll be the furthest he's crawled so far
