Guess who's crawling already?
Just started today!
She doesn't get very far yet (like a snail or slug) but Kate IS crawling! At 6 months!
I put her down on the floor 15 minutes ago to play with her toys right next to my feet. She is now underneath the table four feet away.
Guess I need to babyproof the house when we get home!
I just ordered all my cloth diapers. They will arrive next week. You would be amazed at the innovations and variety in cloth diapers these days. I am spending under $200 for all the diapers (three dozen), covers, inserts (for nighttime), fasteners, and even a little sprayer that attaches to your toilet. We normally spend about $100 a month on diapers -- and these will last her for the next year and a half. That's a savings of $1600. More than pays for my new camera and lens and accessories.
Did I mention that I got a new camera? It's a Canon Rebel XTI. I forget what kind of lens I got. Anyway, it's great. I'm going to be able to take some beautiful portraits.
Here are some pix I snapped of Kate and her cousins:

(the first two were taken with the Elph -- all the others with the Rebel)
I also ordered all the ingredients to make homemade raw milk formula. I am suspicious about the commercial formula we have been using. They have done studies that show that pasteurized milk causes a variety of problems in children -- including congestion and skin irritations like eczema. That formula is made from pasteurized non-fat milk. And Kate has had cradle cap on the back of her head for the past few weeks. She also has nasal congestion. We'll see if the homemade formula helps. Studies show that these problems do not occur with raw milk.
