Where is Spring?

I can't believe google reader is going away!  Everytime I get use to something..they change it.

Well Spring is here...I think...it looks like Spring, sounds like Spring, but it doesn't feel like Spring.  I can't wait until I don't have to wear a jacket.  The one good thing is all of my baby's cold weather clothes are 3-6 months because that would of been the heart of winter, but since he took awhile to fit into them he is able to wear them all now. 

His naps are getting better....sometimes they are only 15 mins.

We are exclusivly using cloth diapers at home in the daytime.  He is still in disposibles over night and when we are out of the house.  I use all in ones and pre-folds.  If you are interested, here are my thoughts on them.

All-in-ones:
 Pros-easy to use, cute with nice colors and patterns, washes up ok

 Cons-expensive, bulky, takes a little longer to dry, stuffing the inserts in them everytime

pre-folds-
   pros-cheap, washes wonderfully, less bulky, dries quick, easier to fold...no need to stuff,
            easy to store

   cons-needing to learn how to use them (but once you learn and practice they are a cinch),
            some may say they are not as cute....but the old fashion diaper with plastics pants I
            think are very cute on them.

if you use pre-folds...I recommend the snappies and not the pins...I can not get the pins tight enough and I just feel they migh be uncomfortable when he is on tummy time.

I wish it were hot and sunny so I can hang them outside...they dry just fine on my rack inside...but drying them in the sun is way better.
