I've been sort of blah about blogging lately. Sorry.

Scout is so much fun to be around and has become an "easy" baby. I probably shouldn't say that, lest I jinx myself. But since I'm not supersticious, I guess it doesn't matter. But just in case, I'll knock on my particle board/laminate desk. I wondered during those first couple months if she would always be so fussy and if her sleep schedule would always be so wonky. She rarely fusses now and her sleep schedule is predictable and pretty easy on me. I'm guessing adjusting to life outside the womb isn't easy. Poor thing just had to get comfortable in her own skin. Now, she is just a doll.

I've been rather preoccupied with buying and selling diapers lately. It's fun and addictive. You know, DH and I had bought a rather large stash of all one type of diaper a while back. I like them, and they are working well. But I have let curiostity get the best of me. I wanted to try some other diapers....and since the Baby BeeHinds bamboo diapers' resale value is pretty good, I've been selling off a few here and there so we can try different (an less expensive) diapers. It's fun, because I never sell a diaper without being able to replace it with another (and sometimes, I'm able to replace it with more than one)...so it's like shopping without having to spend any money. I can't wait to receive some of the fun things I've ordered so I can post pics here.

Here's a pic of Scout in her Baby BeeHinds Hemp diaper. It's really nice and soft (even after washing several times) and I love the rainbow stitching.



Scout loves taking baths with mommy in the big people tub now. I wish I would've started this sooner. There's something about the infant tub that makes her feel scared and vulnerable. Even with me holding onto her securely and talking to her to let her know everything is okay, she sometimes flinches and grabs onto the sides of the infant tub with a scared look on her face, as if she feels like she's falling. But when she is in the big tub with me, she is all smiles. She loves to splash. I think she would just sit there and flail her fists around at the water for hours if I let her. Sometimes I forget how different babies are from one another. They are certainly little people with their own personalities and likes/dislikes. It's just silly that it took me 4 months to realize that she would much rather be bathed in the real tub.

She's still rolling like crazy - to the right as well as the left now. In fact, as soon as I lay her down on her back she immediately flips to her belly. She's getting great at lifting her self up with her arms. Of course, she still hasn't figured out how to scoot anywhere yet.

She has started this cute thing where she "feels" things by opening and closing her hand, like she's scratching. When she wakes up, she just lays there and scratches the sheet, looking intently at her fist as it opens and closes. I think she likes the noise it makes too. She has also started doing this with her hair. I thought it was so adorable how she had her little hand on the back of her head feeling her own hair in amazement this afternoon.

The potty has still been going great. She almost always poops in the potty. She only has a poopy diaper maybe every other day or so. I suppose that's all for now!
