Look at all that hair!

Looking back at old photos, we’ve noticed Josie has really gotten a lot of hair lately! Not long enough yet for people to stop calling her a boy though.

Cape Cod in the off-season

Monday, April 13th, 2009 by Jen

Last weekend, for our (6th) anniversary I planned a weekend away for us on Cape Cod. On Friday afternoon I picked Jordi up from work and surprised him with a whole packed up car and a weekend full of plans. We stayed at the Cape Codder Resort which was fine as far as a hotel goes, but its main attraction is that it has an indoor wave pool, huge hot tub, and 2 indoor water slides. We love to play in the water so this was a major plus for us as it’s still cold here up in New England! We had a nice time exploring Hyannis but mostly just taking the weekend nice and slow and not having to cook or clean for ourselves.

Josie loved the pool. When we showed it to her the first night we arrived she had an absolute fit when we tried to leave. By the end of the weekend she was practically running into the water.

We also went to the Zooquarium. It is pretty small but a decent starter zoo. They have mostly animals that are very accessible to small children (i.e. pig, cow, goat, sheep, chickens, raccoons) but you do get the feed a bunch of them. I fed them, we let Josie keep her fingers for sure through her first birthday.

Here’s some fun Josie photos:

Diaper Fun

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009 by Jen

You might think those two words don’t go together but I’ve been enjoying cloth diapering Josie, well as much as you enjoy diapering. Thus far we’ve used pre-folds that someone else washes for us. I’m considering washing our own now that Josie doesn’t use as many. There are a huge number of different kinds of diapers out there in cloth beyond the basic pre-fold diapers and covers. I went to the local store called Diaper Lab and signed up for their two week trial program so I can try out 8 different kinds of diapers and see how I’d like it. I’ll let you know how it goes. Josie thought it was a blast!
