Well, Micah tried out all three of our baby slings/wraps today and fell asleep just moments after being placed in them! This morning I took him out to the park with Kyle in a front cross carry in our homemade wrap; he slept the whole time. This afternoon we stopped by our neighbors house with Micah in our well loved ring sling and he was out as soon as I sat down on the couch. And tonight, I popped him in the pouch sling to head outside with Kevin and Kyle for a few minutes as the sun went down; once again, he fell right to sleep!
In baby poop news (you wouldn't believe how much you talk about what's in your child's diaper when you have a little one), we are still struggling with a diaper rash. Last night, Kevin went out again to get Desitin (we've tried all the good for you, organic creams with no success), some baby washcloths to use as cloth wipes (which I love using so far), and a pack of newborn soothies (pacifiers). Micah did allow Kevin to give him a pacifier for a little comfort, but let it be known that he will not be falling asleep with a paci in his mouth. I don't know how much we'll actually end up using them.
Also, I got a gDiaper starter kit today, after reading lots of great things about the pants which seem to be more breathable and help with diaper rash. We have tried all sorts of cloth and disposable diaper combinations since Micah was born to get rid of this rash. I don't know if it's sensitive skin, the major humidity we've been having with the monsoons starting, or what. I'll keep you posted.
Lastly, our crib was recalled two days ago; the crib we used with Kyle, lol, and were now using with Micah. So, today we dismantled the crib and returned it to Target, where they gave us a gift card for the full purchase price plus tax. Micah will be sleeping in his play pen for now. I don't know if we'll get him a new crib when we move to Nashville or not. We put Kyle on a mattress on the floor a little after he turned 1 year old, so it seems silly to invest in a crib that will be used for such a short time. I'm guessing we could probably pick up a used crib pretty cheap, although all the experts advise against that. Ah well.
We are headed out for fireworks shortly! Happy 4th of July!

Hi Mindy! If you're using cloth diapers and having diaper rash problems, feel free to email or Facebook message me. We use cloth and have very sensitive-skinned kids and have run the gamut of cloth-friendly diaper creams, etc. I might be able to help you out!
