changes!

It's been awhile since I posted, and things have really changed around here! First off, Amos built a new, gigantic clothesline and It's been pretty fantastic. I can dry a load of diapers and inserts, as well as 1-2 loads of regular laundry all at the same time! I also got a really cool wall-mounted extendable drying rack to use on rainy days. It's set up over the tub so any drips will go right down the drain.

Our super big news is that Madelyn started walking!!! She took her first steps on July 10, at exactly 9 months and 1 week old. So early! M has been super ahead on all her motor milestones. It's been really great, and really scary at the same time. She is so cute when she waddles around the living room with her toys. She is now able to walk all the way across the room without falling, and she is even able to bend over to pick up a toy without falling. I can't wait for her well-check appointment next week so we can show her doctor.

Last night was really fun! I participated in my first twitter party, which was for #rumparooz #clothdiapers. They were giving away a few prizes to help celebrate their new website opening and their new prints (which they didn't reveal and we have to wait. what's up with that??). Anyway, I was chatting away with the mama who owns RG Natural Babies and suddenly my name was being retweeted all over my tweetgrid. I won one of the prizes!! I will be getting a $25 gift certificate to Franklin Goose to buy a Rumparooz diaper!!! I am so super excited because I've been wanting to try one of these for awhile now. Now I have to decide if I want to wait for the new prints to come out, or just go ahead and get one and then *maybe* get a second one with a new print... lol. I know what I *want* to do... :-D
