Last weekend, we went on a trip to Houston to visit Rachel's brother Chad and his family. We went to visit a special place that let us ride on these miniature trains. It was so much fun. Each ride was about 10-15 minutes long. Part of the ride went through the woods and over some little miniature bridges. It took Emily a few minutes before she started enjoying it. By the end of it she was shouting (exact quote), "Wahoo! We're riding on the train!" Miriam spat out her pacifier partway through the ride and Rachel just missed catching it before it landed in no man's land. Although it was later spotted by aerial reconnaissance, the binky ended up being declared MIA.
After we rode on the trains, we all had a picnic in the park. Emily really likes spending time with her cousins. For a few days before the trip, Emily couldn't stop saying, "Can we go see Uncle Chad and Aunt Sydney?" ot "Can I go see my friends: Tyler, Brandon, and Ashley?" Here's a candid shot of Emily holding one of her cousin's hands after lunch.
This has been a landmark month for both of our girls. Miriam is starting to get good at walking and her first two teeth are starting to poke up from her bottom gummies. Emily is finally starting to get the whole potty training idea. She went this whole weekend with only two accidents. Now she likes to be called the 'potty princess'.
We started using cloth diapers this month and we're loving it. These diapers are so cool! Each diaper can be adjusted from size newborn to 6 using these easy snaps. They're really absorbent (we've never had a leak even though Miriam's diapers have been completely soaked). Each diaper only costs $5, so the diapers start paying for themselves within a month and a half.

I'm liking them a lot! :) Especially since I now have a washer and dryer.
I don't have kids you know, but have looked into cloth diapers some before. Clarification please if you don't mind, when they poo you have to dump it first though right?
Yes, you have to dump it in the toilet, which has actually turned out nice since our dumpster is farther away than I'm used to. :) I can flush it away and so it doesn't smell up our apartment. Haha! So far all the messy diapers have been an easy clean up for me. I've only had them for a few weeks, but I really am liking them a lot!
