Exersaucer Gwen

Well, I thought I’d post the third video we took of Gwen. I can’t believe I didn’t think about taking videos earlier in her life. *hangs head in shame*

Cloth Diapering Craziness

I was discussing this on Facebook earlier, but it ate my huge post. So I decided to blog it instead!! If you’re going to use cloth diapers, you need a few things.

I’ve been wearing Gwen since she was barely a week old, and have been [...]

GASP! A VIDEO!

I finally uploaded the video of Gwen in the Jolly Jumper. I have two new videos to upload, too, but they take a long time!!

5 Months Old!!?!

Shocking.
