$500 worth of cloth diapers? Yes please!
A fabulous cloth diapering, Diaper Junction, site is giving away $1000 (total) worth of cloth diapers! The grand prize is a $500 gift certificate, but really all of the prizes are pretty fabulous. I mean, 3rd prize is a 6-pack of bumGenius 4.0s. We use mainly bumGenius diapers on Isabella.
This is a great opportunity for cloth diapering mamas or those considering making the switch, but a little apprehensive about start-up costs. It's definitely worth checking out.

The Great Outdoors
We've hit a bit of a rough patch in our house. I can feel six new teeth under Isabella's gums, Clint's classes started up again last week, and I've started looking for part-time evening/weekend work (which is depressing for a number of reasons). I thought I'd share a few photos I took last week while playing outside. Isabella LOVES being outdoors. She's fascinated by plants, and now rocks. Maybe she'll be a Botanist or a Geologist? I wanted to take her to Horticulture Park this weekend, but Saturday was rainy and there was no way I'd be able to drag Clint away from the tv on the first Sunday of football season. You'll have to settle for photos of her playing in our front yard.

"Ooh rocks!"
"I better get in there for a closer look."
"I think this would look better over here."

"Oh, hi Mom!"
Sporting her White Sox cap. Clint bought this the day we found out we were having a girl, and it's finally starting to fit!

13 Months Old
I'm debating whether I should stick with monthly updates or switch to quarterly, what do you all think? Let me know in the comments.
Isabella is 13 months old today! She is walking everywhere now and getting quite good at it. You can tell she's really proud of herself and her mama is pretty proud too. :) She is working on more and more words too. She is just growing up so fast. All of a sudden she looks so big to me. I think she must have had a growth spurt recently. We're having a hard time pulling some of her 12 month tops over her head. What can I say, the child has a big brain.
I feel like she's changing and learning so much now that it's hard to keep track, but here are some new things going on this month:
-Walking!
-Saying "thank you" frequently and appropriately
-Says "uh oh" when she drops something
-Purposefully feeds Audrey from her tray, and tells her thank you when she accepts it
-Not a fan of cows milk, at all. I'm only offering it once a day right now and water the rest of the time. I want to make sure she gets plenty of liquids. She still nurses each morning and we're giving her lots of cheese and yogurt to make up for the milk she's not getting.
-She's starting to enjoy the zoo! We took her to Columbian Park this weekend and she got so excited seeing the animals. She was jabbering non-stop. I think the monkeys were her favorite. I'm hoping to make it to the Indy Zoo sometime this month.
-Giving hugs all the time. If you ask her for a hug she snuggles up close to you, pats your shoulder, and says "Aw." Adorable. She likes to give her toys hugs to... and a box of raisins.
-"Talks" on the phone.
-Absolutely loves to go outside. If she's cranky all you have to do is head outside and her mood improves instantly.
I've been seriously slacking when it comes to photos lately, but here are a few for you to enjoy.
