LA is 9 months and 4 days :)
How the time flies. My little girl is 9 months and 4 days old and so super smart. She has 4 teeth already and 4 more coming in
. She knows mom, dad, nana, papa, hi and I think I’m forgetting a couple. She is a super jumper and although she isn’t crawling yet she has this weird little tummy bounce and swivel she uses to get around. She loves music! Blues brothers and Motorhead are her favorites! She is quite tall and probably now about 19 lbs and she makes me super happy 
We have been cloth diapering for awhile I think since she was about 3 months. We have a stash of pockets mostly comprised of Sunbaby’s with a couple alva’s and a few fitteds. I will take a pic later after I stuff the stash lol.
We Love our cloth and I wish there were more cloth diapering momma’s in our town but I have only met like 2. Everyone I talk to think they are a lot of work and washing would be a pain. Then I show them and educate and while they seem interested they still have issues with rewashing poopy diapers. It’s not that bad and I don’t have a super strong stomach by any means. I just spray them, toss in a pail and then when I have enough I do a load which is toss in do a rinse then a long hot wash with soap nut liquid and an extra rinse at the end. I hang our pockets on the line and throw the liners in the dryer. With our new washer and dryer the energy consumption is minimal. The average operating cost for the washer a year with a gas water tank is $7 and thats doing about 8 loads a week which we are nowhere near even with the cloth.
Anyway I really wish I could run a small business that focuses on cloth and natural products… I’m trying to figure it out so I don’t get screwed if I do lol. I’m kind of passionate about it and have seen the benefits of it first hand. I’m just going to keep researching and see where it ends up…. Thoughts? Would you consider cloth? Especially if you realized it wasn’t as hard as most think? What other stuff would you like to know? What if there was a cloth diapering service?……alright gotta run LA is crabby pants time for a nap.
