Rodeo Arm

By -
I can't remember if I have posted about Sarah Graves' rodeo arm before.  She likes to have one arm out of a blanket or her swaddle me at all times and she will just flail it around like the bull riders at the rodeo, hence we call it her rodeo arm.  The problem with her rodeo arm is that sometimes while flailing it around she touches her face and this causes her to wake herself up.  We thought we had the problem of rodeo arm fixed with the swaddle me; it holds both arms down at her side nice and snug and she can't flail them around. 
Our little Houdini is now strong enough to get her arm out of the swaddle me.  I would love to know how she does it and how long she works to get it out.  She has started waking up a few times during the night and that arm seems to be the culprit.  Now we are left wondering if it is considered child abuse to use duct tape on your baby :)

Frozen Party Details

Like most girls her age, Sarah Graves LOVES Frozen and has known for quite some time that she wanted a Frozen birthday party. I was so excited when I saw this invitation on Etsy and she loved it too! It reminded me of an infographic. The Frozen theme was a lot of fun! There were so many things to choose from that I took to pinterest and eventually decided on the ideas that I would use for this party. I found this great Arendelle banner here on Pinterest I was so grateful that my sister did a snowflake Christmas and had tons of snowflake ornaments to hang as decorations! This party theme was a lot of fun to plan the food. Kristoff's ice cubes were made from Jell-o with an ombre effect. I found the recipe here on Pinterest. I doubled the recipe to make a 13x9 size pan of it and I made 2 13x9 pans of it. The made plenty of "ice cubes" to fill 35 cups. They turned out really cute! My parents made this Elsa cake and did a fabulous job

Cloth vs. Disposable

By -
We have mostly been planning to do disposable diapers because I felt that cloth would just be too much work when I go back to work.  Then, we saw these diapers called happy heiny's ( www.happyheinys.com ).  These looked much different than what I envisioned cloth diapers to look like.  Mom used cloth diapers with me and Jeanne', so she felt totally up for using them while Sarah Graves is at her house.  I started looking into the cost comparison and depending on what type of cloth diapers you buy, you can save anywhere from $1200 - $1700.  That is pretty attractive, not to mention knowing that you aren't filling up a landfill somewhere.  There are lots of different varieties of cloth diapers out there, but the ones that seem to be a good investment and user friendly are diapers that have snap closures, with a pocket for an insert to absorb the contents, and they are one size that adjusts as your baby grows from a newborn up to 35 pounds.  You can also purchase the traditio
