Things that excite me now

You know you're deep into mommyhood when diapers and highchairs excite you. Heck, I'm still on this high about cloth diapering. I LOVE it. I really wish I had done this with Meredith. I can't ever imagine putting a disposable diaper on my baby again. That's how much I love it. I even ordered Meredith some overnight pocket trainers that pull up like underwear to use instead of pull-ups (she still wets at night). As long as I'm doing diaper laundry twice/week, I figured that I might as well get Meredith in cloth at night and quit wasting money on disposables. I figure I'll get back my investment on the trainers in about 7 months and Anna can use them when she's older.

We don't really need any more diaper supplies for Anna, but Best Bottoms just came out with a new color and a new print. I had just had to get them and my purple and owl diapers arrived in the mail today. I love them!

I recently got a new highchair as well. We used the Fisher Price Spacesaver with Meredith and we hated that thing. It hogged up a whole chair. It was a pain in the rear to move around on our heavy chairs. And worst of all, the side handles on it made it so you couldn't push it up to the table to use as a booster. We made the decision long ago that we would not be using it again and we were going to invest in a new highchair. I was going to get a traditional highchair but then I started reading about Svan highchairs and I got hooked. They adjust up and down, and back and forth. The tray and infant seat come off and it turns into a toddler chair that can be pushed up to a table and it can be adjusted as your child grows. What a genius idea! And have I mentioned how small this is? It's tiny and takes up very little space. The only problem is they retail for $340. I wasn't about to spend that much but I was able to hunt one down on Craigslist and I got this pretty little thing for $110. I can't wait to use it. I really hope I like it because I'm stuck with it now. I'm not too worried though because all the reviews of this highchair rave about it.
