I shouldn't encourage him

If you ask Asher to say bubble, he says "Bum!"
I probably shouldn't giggle so much.
It is becoming his favourite word!

21 Months



It is hard to get a good photo of a toddler!


What Asher has been up to-
  • interacting with people on Skype... showing them books, toys, etc... and trying to give them high-fives!
  • whispering
  • speaking in sentences. He's been able to mimic sentences for ages (one of his first words was 'whassat'- what's that) but he's recently putting together his own sentences- "wezza boobum"- where's the balloon, "is a moo"- its a cow (moo).
  • loves, loves, loves planes and can spot them in the sky before I can!

10 Things About Cloth Diapers

1o Things About Cloth Diapers (aka Nappies)

1. We chose BumGenius nappies because they were the bestselling cloth nappies in the world, they a style that could convert from newborn to infant to toddler size, they didn't require soaking or anything difficult. We did not see them before we bought them.

2. I think we spent* more than $350 for 24 nappies... and have probably saved a few thousand (here in Exmouth a box of nappies costs $49, whereas in bigger cities it is only $33. So lets say 80 nappies per box (the number varies based on size), using at least 6 a day may last 2 weeks, so approx $50 every two weeks for nappies ($25/week), and Asher is 95 weeks old, so $2000+ could have been spent on nappies. *We were very lucky that friends and family gifted us with money to buy cloth diapers and supplies- what a blessing!
