First of all, let me explain Pumpkin Butt in two words. Cloth diapers.
Our 9 week 4 day old daughter Amelie (Ah-muh-lee), has a big ole booty in her cloth diapers. It's super cute. Most people don't understand why we would go to the "trouble" of using clothies (as we call them). Here is why...
To be perfectly honest, we do use disposables sometimes, but only when we are going to be out and about for a while, and it has been happening less and less.
Little Amelie, (or just "Little," as her auntie Abby coined her today) is a spitter-upper, so we already have 1-2 mandatory loads of laundry to do per day, so adding one more load of clothies is no big deal (or, NBD) for us. By the way, "us" is Tyler and I.
We are fiances' of 5 months, yet to set a date for our wedding. NBD. It seems like he is in a bigger hurry to make it official than I am. To be fair, I totally want to marry him, just not with the extra 25 lbs of baby weight that I have yet to lose. I prefer to look back at our wedding photos and think to myself, damn I looked good. (ie: my sister Abby in her wedding photos, see MN Bride Spring/Summer2009
It probably doesn't help that as I write this I am eating Tostitos and Salsa con Queso (thanks mom.)
And I digress...
Tyler and I are having the time of our life with "little" Amelie. I really consider myself a "stay at home mom" since I really only work about 2 nights per week, and spend most of my time with her. I think I get the best of both worlds, being at home all day, and working some nights.
Amelie is sooo lucky that she has her cousin Samuel (Abby's son) to grow up with.
He was born 3 weeks and 1 day before her. This is Sammy visiting Ami in the hospital.
This is Sam and Amelie today...
I will update this blog to keep family and friends in the loop of what is happening in the lives of Amelie and Sam, and on a lesser note...us.
That's all for tonight though. Me and Grandma Tracy took Amelie to the Mall of America tonight to find some summer clothes that actually fit me and Amelie pretty much cried the whole time so I am worn out.
We'll try this again tomorrow.

1. They are cute as hell.
2. We like to save the earth however we can.
3. It reduces her exposure to harmful chemicals found in disposable diapers
4. It's cheaper, you only have to buy the diapers once.
