Life with Baby and Hubby

I haven't really blogged since Jamin got back (understandably) but things have been going well. It's a blessing to have him back again. Here are some quick updates:

Hubby:

He's an AMAZING father. He is always willing to change diapers, burp her, or do whatever he can to give me a "break" when I need it. He sings to her, reads stories to her, and kisses her about as much as I do and that's a TON! Does River have chubby cheeks or are they just swollen from the thousands of kisses she gets a day?

I find myself a bit "clingy" with him since I keep thinking that he's going to deploy. I'm not used to him being home for so long!

Baby:

I adore her. I love all of her funny habits: rubbing her feet together while she's eating, puckering and sticking out her lips when she's concentrating, sleeping with her arms spread out above her head when she's out, and gurgling when I change her diaper. I also love her stinky feet and arm pits :)

Being a mom has been pretty awesome and I'm ready for another one (plus 4) :) We've gotten our "routine" down...which is not really a routine at all but things have gotten a lot easier with River sleeping through the night and maturing. She even put herself to bed last night for the first time and I hope that she keeps it up!!!

Cloth Diapering:

I recently tried a SunBaby diaper and found that they work quite well. They are cheap, super cute, and have a trimmed fit. The only thing I don't like about them is how they stuff (the insert doesn't snap it) but they are neat. I don't think I'll buy anymore for now because we have enough.

I bought more GroBaby/Gro Via Soakers and I absolutely love them (be sure to prep them!). I think that I would go with the GroBaby/GroVia system if I had to do it over again. You don't have to stuff diapers and they save time and space. We always use them for outings and use our Bububibi's at home. Although stuffing can get old, I like stuffing my Bububibi's because I can get in a lot of extra inserts for overnight use.

We still have and use other brands such as Bum Genius and Sposoeasy and those are great too...I guess variety isn't bad :)

Future:

I found out recently that we are moving back to the states as early as February. Although I will enjoy being near family and friends...I AM BUMMED! I will miss Okinawa (the FOOD!) so much and most of all, my church family at Calvary Okinawa. :( I can only pray that one day, we'll get to come back for another tour.
