We finally gave up the swaddle blanket for good this week. She sleeps on her belly exclusively now. It makes me so nervous because I find her with her face in the mattress all too often. Other milestones for this week include clicking her tongue, and mimicking us when we do it first.
I was able to capture some of her clapping during her basket shoot this week. All it takes is saying "Yea Elsa!" and she starts clapping.
* Cloth Diaper Details: Elsa is wearing a Flip Diaper Cover by Cotton Babies. The Flip Cover is my current favorite cover. I have it in a few different colors, most of which are snap closure. As much as I love the perfect fit of velcro, I don't like the velcro catching on clothes. I never have leaks with the Flip and there are two flaps for holding the insert in place. I wish I had hemp inserts, but for now the microfiber ones I have work just fine. When I want added absorbancy I add a Polar Babies doubler. They aren't cheap considering they are a doubler and not a stand alone insert, but I used them with Julia so I've gotten my money's worth. The combo of the microfiber insert and doubler is the trimmest diaper combo I have that provide as much as 5 hours between changes. For a heavy wetter like Elsa, that's really good. With the right stuffing I can use a Flip Cover for overnights which for us means 12 hours in the same diaper. She has yet to wake up with wet sheets using this cover. I buy them used off off Craigslist or when Cotton Babies has a seconds sale. I've never paid more than $10 for one.
