Robin's 4 Month Appointment

He's doing great. He's more than doubled his birthweight and he's growing and getting stronger. He can roll over now and reach for interesting things to put in his mouth. He's eating well and has just started sleeping through till about 4-5AM (well....the last three days anyway. We'll see how it goes!)

Weight: 10lbs 13oz
Height: 24.5" He's a long skinny thing.

To put it into perspective, at 4 months Arthur was the same height but weighed almost exactly 4lbs more! And I thought he was small!

Finally just about ready for cloth!

It has been my intention for a while now to switch Robin over to cloth diapers when he got big enough. I had always wanted to cloth diaper Arthur but couldn't get around the start up expense. Several months ago I found a great deal on Fuzzi Bunz and I couldn't pass up buying a starter set. The size I bought starts at 15lbs and Robin is only about 11lbs now, but I am so itching to start that I couldn't help putting him in them today. They are definitely a little big on even the smallest snap setting but they're holding up fairly well. I have a slightly snug onsie on him over the diaper and that seems to be holding it on well. Time will tell but so far so good!

After a conversation with my mother this weekend talking about how I was brought up in cloth, I've strengthened my resolve to get him in them as soon as I could. I'll feel much better about the environmental impact and since these diapers are so easy to use and clean, I don't see how I can NOT use them. :)
